Abstract
Changes in the European Space for Higher Education have forced the university institutions to adopt new management models, the priority being to ensure the quality of the studies. Statements by the various meetings of Ministers in the EHEA (European Higher Education Area) give a main role to quality assurance. Therefore, institutions must implement Quality Assurance System tools in order to preserve it. The ANECA, AQU and ACSUG have developed a series of programs under which this system is structured. The program AUDIT is particularly relevant because offers guidelines for the design of these systems in our university colleges. With the help of this program, the group GyA elaborates a general proposal of a Quality Assurance System that has been very popular in many universities of the Spanish University System.
