The Institutional Self-evaluation Process in IPP
From 1995 to 2000, IPP applied voluntarily for
the self-assessment of its courses, although it
was compulsory for universities only.
Since 2000, IPP (as well as the other
polytechnics) were submitted to the National
System of Evaluation promoted by CNAVES (National
Council for the Higher Education Evaluation).
