Monitoring is regularly performed to ensure high educational standards and that internal policies are followed and corrective actions are taken when necessary. Through the use of periodic consulting of the supporting structures, the academic council may take measures to guarantee the continual improvement of the academic objectives as well as the tools used to achieve these objectives.

Each academic program identifies a professor responsible for Quality Assurance, which usually coincides with the Program Director.

The Program Director is responsible for the following activities:
• Operative manager for the entire quality monitoring process of the academic program. He is responsible for the planning, the implementation and the monitoring of the academic program (including the preparation of documents such as the annual evaluations Scheda di Monitoraggio Annuale and the cyclical evaluations Riesame Ciclico);
• He is the guarantor of the level of Quality of the academic program. He informs the Head of the Department about possible problems which might interfere with the correct actualization of the academic activities, also with the help of students’ feedback;
• He communicates the results of actions and decisions taken, also through use of the "Scheda di Monitoraggio Annuale".

The Director of the PhD in Management is Professor Fabio Monteduro, a professor in the Department of Management and Law.

The PhD in Management Academic Board expresses its opinion of the subjects of competence of the academic program and formulates proposals to the Department Council in regard to academic planning, the educational program content, individual study plans, and the monitoring of teaching activities.

The composition of the PhD in Management Academic Board is posted at this link.

The Director is assisted by the "Team for the PhD program review", which checks data in regard to the academic program (teaching activities and student services). Reviewing the PhD activities includes the identification of the academic program’s strengths and weaknesses, the preparation of a proposal of actions aimed at improvement, and the verification of the correct implementation of the actions taken.

The Quality Assurance Group is responsible for the following evaluation activities:
• Verification of the interest and demand for education in a particular academic area;
• Verification of the specific objectives of the academic program and their consistency with the qualifying objectives of the students as well as the current needs of the job market;
• Verification of the existing job opportunities and their coherence with the qualifying objectives of the class and the academic program, as well as the needs of the job market and the analysis of the external effectiveness of the academic program;
• Verification of the expected learning outcomes;
• Monitoring of the adequacy of the University infrastructure and student services.

The PhD in Management Team for the PhD program review and Quality Assurance Group is composed of the following members:

• Professor Andrea Bonomi Savignon
• Professor Antonio Chirico (Chair)
• Professor Fabio Monteduro
• Professor Ornella Ricci (U. Roma Tre)
• PhD student Representative Lorenzo Coronella

PhD students are regularly involved in the compilation of questionnaires aimed at evaluating the quality of the academic program, teaching, and University services.

Students are required to fill in an online questionnaire each time they renew their request for enrollment to the next academic year (according to the ANVUR guideline). The online procedure is straightforward and facilitates the gathering of useful information in an anonymous way from students, and the results are published from SISValDidat annually. The questionnaire provides the students with a vehicle to express their opinions regarding several aspects relevant to their expectations as students including the courses, the professors providing lectures, the teaching material and the University facilities. The student opinions are essential to understanding where improvements can be made, and the compiled results are shared with professors, the University President, the Academic Program Coordinators, the Joint Committees, the Monitoring Teams, the University Evaluation Team and all the other bodies of the University.
In the meanwhile the official results from SISValDidat will be updated, we collected the students' opinion about courses, structure and organization:
- the evaluation of our first year PhD students about A.Y. 2023/24 with our internal questionnaire is posted here;
- the evaluation of our first and second year PhD students about A.Y. 2023/24 with the ANVUR questionnaire is posted here.

Therefore, students are asked to be responsible and provide honest and complete evaluations because the results will be analyzed and used to develop strategies to improve the quality of the students academic experience at Tor Vergata University of Rome. 
Moreover, to help the academic program monitor quality more deeply, PhD in Management Alumni are requested to fill in an additional evaluation after 1, 3, and 5 years of the program completion. These questionnaires are administered by Almalaurea, and they evaluate different elements than those submitted by ANVUR during the PhD career. Evaluation of students’ opinions from past academic years may be found here.

The meetings held with representatives of management and labor will be documented and will be available for consultation (the information is in Italian). 

Questionnaires are regularly submitted to the representatives of management and labor in order to evaluate whether the specific objectives of the academic program are aligned with the needs of the job market. Subsequently, the questionnaires are used to determine whether the academic program is sufficiently preparing students to qualify to meet the needs in the professional sector related to their studies. The information provided allows for an evaluation of the external effectiveness of the academic program and helps determine whether changes should be made in the academic programming to further facilitate graduates to find jobs when they complete the academic program (the information is primarily in Italian). Details will be found here.
