BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT + DEGREE
IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION

Every year, as a ceremony held before the beginning of classes, there's an informative session for students (and family of the First year Students) enrolled in the different courses if the Degree Studies. In this session, students are told about news and course characteristics and information about the School, and they are handed the Participants’ Welcome Handbook.

Before the beginning of classes, there will be "leveling" courses for the students to strengthen those areas of study that, as our experience has shown, need it.

This action aims at giving new students the quantitative knowledge they might need to start the course with more guarantees and efficiency.

These classes are:

• Pre-requirements in Mathematics Course
• Pre-requirements in Accounting Course.

ESIC has a Plan of Action for Tutoring (P.A.T.) for the "welcoming" of students in their admission process and adaptation to the School.

At the beginning of the classes, a tutor will be assigned to each student, who will be his/her referent in the personal and academic environments. Both will maintain a series of meetings and orientation interviews during the academic year, so the students feel guided and accompanied during their adaptation to University life.

The tutor's responsibilities will be to show the student the School (philosophy and resources), provide information about the Master's, make the university process a dynamic one and facilitate the integration, both personal as well as into the group.

For more information, see Degree in Business Administration and Management Tutors.

Improving ESIC's quality day by day

ESIC's Quality Guarantee system (SGC_ESIC) was created in 2006, with the aim of improving the quality of teaching in all areas of training. This system outlines how ESIC makes use of its organs, regulations, criteria, processes, etc, to improve the quality of the degrees, the selection and promotion of its professors, the planning and development or the results of learning and also how to include different interest groups in design, development, evaluation and broadcasting of its training activities. All this Guarantee System is included inside a Continuous Memory work philosophy.

How we organize the project...

For the design and implementations of the SGC ESIC we have had the collaboration of all the professors and non-professors staff in the School. The project was directed by the School Management Committee, supported by the academic and management Campus Boards and Areas Boards. These Boards have made each and everybody of their staff collaborate, making the project a success that everyone can make good use of. All of them have had the support of the Quality Unit, formed by the quality managers of each area and coordinators of each campus, which helped the widespread and the participation of everybody in the project.

Which are our Reference Quality Models?

ESIC's SGC has been designed under the reference frame of the ISO standard 9001:2008, adapted to the training services in a first phase, with the aim of standardizing the academic and management processes.

On a second phase, the follow up, revision and improvements systems were added to the Quality system based on the ISO standard, much developed by the EFQM model, which resulted in an important improvement to the initial system.

More recently, the ESIC quality system has been upgraded through the AUDIT Accreditation Programme -which is the model of reference for our university system under the new European space and which is promoted by ANECA (Agencia Nacional de la Calidad y Acreditación). Moreover, ESIC's Quality Guarantee System complies with the requirements of the SGC (Sistema de Garantía de Calidad) of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and Universidad Miguel Hernández, since it is an attached training center for both institutions.

All Interest Groups at ESIC collaborate on the ESIC Improvement Project through their participation in the different existing commissions, and are listed in the ESIC Quality Handbook. These Groups regularly manifest their satisfaction as regards the training and complementary services, so that the "Services to Keep" are identified (because of the high levelof satisfaction they get), as well as "Services to be improved" and "newly identified needs".

Besides the Commissions, he ESIC students collaborate with the ESIC Improvement Project through Satisfaction Opinion Polls. Institución. ESIC conducts a Satisfaction Opinion Poll of Students towards Professors in every finished course, and a Satisfaction Opinion Poll of Students towards the Institution.

Satisfaction Opinion Poll for Students towards Professors.

• Degree Area, the Satisfaction Opinion Poll towards Teachers is sent out twice for each academic year, always at the end of each class in each four-month period.
• Graduate Studies Area, the satisfaction Opinion Poll towards Professors is sent at the end of each seminar.

Satisfaction Opinion Poll for Students towards the Institution.

All students at mid-point and at the end of their programmes, in Degrees as well as in Graduate Studies Courses, are interviewed to know their level of satisfaction towards ESIC. The aspects taken into consideration are: Programme taken, Facilities, Assistance, and Future Expectations.

Satisfaction Opinion Poll in International Mobility

All students who come from other Universities around the world and take classes at ESIC, as well as ESIC students who take classes in another University through the Institutional Agreements that ESIC offers, take part in a Satisfaction Poll which considers the following aspects: Assistance Services specific for International Mobility, Programme taken, Assistance received, Facilities and Future Expectations.

...in constant improvement...

ESIC formulates under its Quality System Guarantee different channels through which the possible improvements can be identified and implemented in the Institution or new needs which have not yet been detected.

All the ESIC interest groups are represented within the Boards , and collaborate with the identification of improvements regularly, as declared in the ESIC Quality Handbook.

Moreover, through the Satisfaction Polls of the different Interest Groups declared which are generated by the Opinion Poll Plans, possible improvements are identified, as regards academic and other service matters that ESIC offers.
