Quality Assurance Process.

The management bodies are: - Joint Consortium Board (JCB): It has the core responsibility for the quality assurance of the Programme. - External Advisory Board (EAB): It represents the industry stakeholders and internationally recognized experts in the field of cosmetic and dermatological sciences. This board gives non-binding judgements on the Programme structure and contents, and provides advice aimed at ensuring the excellence of the Programme. It is composed of 6 members that meet at least once yearly. It is named by the JCB. - Student - Academic Staff Committee (SASC): It is composed of one person per Partner Institution named by the Programme Coordinator and four elected Students per each intake. It is called upon in two ways: (i) Students use this Committee to bring formally to the attention issues to the management; (ii) the Committee gives a non-binding judgement on the changes proposed by the JCB. Student elections will be overseen by the JCB. SACS meets once a year.
