The Faculty of Optics and Optometry of Terrassa (FOOT) is aware of the importance of quality and considers it a strategic factor to ensure that its graduates acquire the competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) corresponding to their degree, and that these are recognized by employers and by society in general.

FOOT is committed to achieving this goal with sufficient quality assurance to guarantee the maximum satisfaction of its stakeholders. To this end, it must develop strategies to achieve quality objectives, which consist of the control, review, and continuous improvement of all processes carried out.

In accordance with this, the following general objectives are established:

• Provide training aimed at excellence, ensuring an academic offer in line with the needs and expectations of users and society in general.
• Guide the management and administration of FOOT towards the teaching and research objectives of the University.
• Promote that the Quality Policy is understood and accepted by all stakeholders and that it is available to all of them.
• Achieve a commitment to continuous improvement and propose and carry out the corrective and preventive actions that may be necessary.
• Provide continuous and appropriate training to all staff, according to their respective competencies, and provide the necessary knowledge so that they can perform them satisfactorily.
• Ensure that the Internal Quality Assurance System (SGIQ) remains in force, and is monitored and reviewed periodically.

Therefore, the management of FOOT undertakes to dedicate all the technical, economic, and human resources at its disposal, always in strict compliance with the applicable legal framework.
