The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials and the Faculty of Chemical Sciences of UCM are aware of the importance of quality, considering it a strategic factor to ensure that their doctoral students are recognized by employers and by society in general. All procedures of the Internal Quality Assurance System (SGIC) of the PDIQ foreseen in point 8.1 of the Verified Report (MV) are in place. The formally established and implemented SGIC has responsible bodies in which the main stakeholders involved in the doctoral programme are represented. The competent bodies of the SGIC are as follows (in hierarchical order):

• Faculty Board (JF): the body responsible for the SGIC of the Centre, which must approve all agreements or reports of the Quality Commission.
• Quality Commission (CC) (https://quimicas.ucm.es/comites-de-evaluacion-y-mejora-de-la-calidad-de-los-titulos-impartidos): the competent body on quality matters. It is involved in drafting follow-up reports on proposed improvements to the Degrees and in adopting resolutions regarding complaints and suggestions.
