1. Campus of International Excellence UAM+CSIC: Teaching and EHEA

2. TEACHING AND EHEA
Challenges for EHEA implementation: quality assurance.
International graduate program: strategy 2015.
Life-long learning.

3. Quality Assurance and EHEA
Main areas of improvement in the Teaching Quality during past years (1):
Formative actions in teaching skills for UAM faculty:
from 194 participants in to 1201 in
Plans for EHEA implementation:
Innovations projects: 311 experimental syllabus only in 2007/08,
Design of new courses and graduate programs (41 undergraduate, 69 graduate)
Improvment of equipment and facilities (41 classrooms)

4. Quality Assurance and EHEA
Main areas of improvement in the Teaching Quality during past years (2):
Teaching assesment: we have been conducting surveys about student’s satisfaction since We have implemented DOCENTIA, a peer-review system of evaluation of teching practices (400 faculties from 2006)
Design of the Internal Quality Assurance System in all the programs.
Innovation projects related to EHEA: near 400 from 2005, which cover from on-line teaching to internationalization of graduate programs.

5. Quality Assurance and EHEA
Strategic areas for academic excellence
All these areas must be put together: the central axis of the academic excellence must be a system of monitoring and improvement of our Academic Programs.
This demands the integration of the whole system of data and indicators and…
… the involvement of the faculty and staff in the analysis and improvement of plans.

Future Challenges
Faculty staff members must be involved in the quality process...
… by showing that the system allows a real improvement in learning outcomes.
And finally, we must enhance the links between excellence researching and teaching.

9. Graduate Programs: Internationalization
Strategy 2015: being a Campus of graduate students.
During and , we have been working through three lines:
Pursue joint or doubles degree mostly with European Universities,
Increase the number of matters tought in English.
Growing applications to Eramus Mundus Program.

11. Graduate Programs: Internationalization
First outcomes:
We are involved in 4 joint or double degree Master Program, with Mälarladen University, Paris-Dauphine and Paris 3. We are in process of signal another two ones.
During , we are teaching more than 30 matters in English. Next course, at least 6 Master programs will be teached almost entirely in English.
Currently we are appliying for 6 Erasmus Mundus program, 2 for Master and 4 doctorate. We have achieved by now one Eramus, Theoretical Chemistry and one Atlantis in Mathematics.

12. Graduate Programs: Internationalization
FIRST OUTCOMES
30 NEW MATTERS IN ENGLISH + 6 MASTER
4 JOINT DEGRESS + 2 IN PROGRESS
2 ERASMUS+ ATLANTIS
6 IN PROCESS

13. Graduate Programs: Internationalization
Future challenges.
Keep on working through these lines, but focusing on a more aggresive communication strategy.
We will put advertisements of our best graduate programs in world class scientific reviews.
Use the existing Erasmus agreements to foster graduate students mobility within EEES.
