Definició

The subject course plan (SCP) is the tool used to define the teaching project for each subject, and which specifies the model used for its organization; it enables teaching staff to plan work in the subjects.

From the perspective of quality, the subject course plan is a means of to the approach in the teaching and learning process (AQU, 2005). In terms of information, it is a document that allows students to find out the key areas in the subject and organize monitoring thereof; and at the same time, to make decisions before registering. 

"The Subject Teaching Plan is the instrument that defines the model for organizing teaching of the subject. It is public and can be accessed from the academic dissemination spaces established by the University." (Art. 1. Concept and public nature. UPF Subject Course Plan Regulations).

"Official undergraduate studies and master's degree studies fall within the scope of application of the SCP, as regulated by the UPF regulations" (Article 2. Scope. UPF Subject Course Plan Regulations)

In short, "the SCP must enable various objectives to be achieved, including organization and planning of the subject; providing appropriate information on the competences, content and assessment mechanisms in the subject; and facilitating exchanges of students between different universities. In order to achieve these objectives, it must be approved by the competent body and must be addressed to students in order to inform them about their rights and their obligations as regards the subject, what they have to achieve, and the assessment mechanisms."
