Mandatory practical training description
6 ECTS
The aim of the ESCRBCC work placement programme is to allow students to put into practice and develop the knowledge gained during the BA course in Preservation and Restoration.
The fact that students can practice preservation and restoration skills within a professional environment also allows them to take decisions and solve specific problems on their own, learn how to work in multidisciplinary teams and also how to assess the preservation – restoration work itself, taking into consideration the everyday needs of the institution or company where they are carrying out their work placement, under the supervision of their tutors.
Description of quality assurance obligations of the programme / institution
In accordance with the transparency demanded of Higher Education Centres in the standard set by the European Higher Education Area, all institutions must have Policies and Internal Quality Assurance Systems (SGIC) in place for educational programmes offered; said systems having been formally established and made publicly available. To this end, the Department for Education and AQU Catalunya have laid the foundations for the AUDIT-EAS programme for the supervision and evaluation of the Quality Assurance Systems in place at the centres offering BA degree courses.
The ESCRBCC believes it is necessary to establish an Internal Quality Assurance System (SGIC-ESCRBCC) to facilitate accreditation of the courses taught and to guarantee the quality of their training programmes.
This quality management system follows the directives established by the agency for quality assurance AQU-Catalunya in its AUDIT programme and respects the principles of legality, publication, transparency and participation.
The design of the SGIC-ESCRBCC reflects the involvement and the degree of commitment of the management team and of the entire staff of the school in relation to the quality of the training programmes offered.
