• its coherence;
• the prior basis of the Study Plan and the interdisciplinarity that it sets out;
• the system of coordination and tutorials put forward;
• the monitoring and quality improvement procedures to be employed.

Approval of Postgraduate UIMP-based Qualifications Studies is incumbent upon the Governing Council at the behest of the Commission for Postgraduate Studies.
