The purpose of the research focuses on implementing the Internal System of Quality Assurance in the education of older people that is being developed in the University o f Burgos; in this way, the objectives defined in the University Strategy 2015 are fully met. In order to achieve our goal, we have used the complementarity of the multi- methodological approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The quantitative methodology has been used to obtain information through the quantification of data of the variables set down, using structured questionnaires prepared ad-hoc with stratified random sample of proportional allocation, with a margin of error of +- 3 and a level of confidence of 95% of the target population. In the qualitative methodology, we have taken on techniques and processes in the field of commercial research, within the evaluative research, to focus decision-making and the development of strategic plans, through the application of the SWOT analysis.
