Abstract:

We analyzed the quality indicators evolution of the Occupational Risks Master online mode at the Miguel Hernández University (UMH) from the academic year 2012-2013 to 2017-2018.

The indicators used are those established in the fifth Quality Plan of UMH. Currently the fifth UMH Quality Plan 2017-2020 gathers the experience acquired in the previous four-year plans since 2000 when we implemented the first Strategic Plan for Quality 2000-2003 and the first Master Plan for Quality in Management 2000 -2003. The results of the first Plan were positive, allowing to improve the levels of quality in the different areas (teaching, research and development and management), ensuring the conditions of participation of the UMH in the financing system linked to quality objectives of the Ministry of University and Science and helping to introduce the philosophy of total quality in the UMH.

One of the main strengths of UMH Quality Plans is their Indicator System. The system of indicators allows the measurement of the results obtained in the different areas.

In this study are shown the approved indicators for the master by the plenary committee Masters in each academic year and how they have evolved since their implementation, and we have compared these indicators with the respective standards in the relevant Quality Plan indicators.

The indicators are measured on a percentage scale from 0 to 100, were are in general above 72% and in all cases exceeded the set standard scores in the Quality Plan except for the indicator "Percentage of graduates with an equal job or greater their level of education which is below the standard set at 90% for the academic years 2012/2013, 2013/2014 and 2017/2018. In general the majority of the indicators show an increase over time or a constant value in the different annuities, which is 100% for 7 of the 16 indicators studied.
