Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation

Manager’s Word:
Implementing a quality management system and achieving academic accreditation has always been one of the most important basic requirements for determining the success of any educational organization. Given the importance of this matter, the International University for Science and Technology had to create a department for quality assurance and academic accreditation in order to improve performance, develop and master work, achieve excellence and prosper the institution.
Quality is an essential criterion that focuses on operations and results together to provide any required service with high professionalism to customers, and its management system includes following a preventive policy against errors in order to obtain outputs without defects. Quality is also leadership in work, culture, behavior, practice and application that includes the processes of developing human resources, developing administrative information and making the right decisions at the appropriate times. The success of total quality management depends on the contribution of all members of the organization by setting a specific future vision and clear goals, as it is everyone’s responsibility.
As for Academic Accreditation, it is one of the recent trends in the development of education, which has become a frame of reference in most countries as part of their continuous attempts to evaluate and improve performance in higher education institutions. It is a procedural process to ensure the quality of university education, in which the services, operations, or programs of higher education institutions are reviewed to check whether the applicable criteria are met or not for accreditation to be granted. Academic accreditation helps determine if an institution meets or exceeds minimum quality standards, and based on this information, the parent and student can easily select the appropriate colleges for enrollment.
In sum, we in this department always strive to work to ensure the application of the university’s slogan “Life Long Commitment to knowledge” with high quality and professionalism, achieving academic reliability, so that the International University for Science and Technology remains a beacon of science and a flag fluttering with knowledge to reach its message to the whole world through its administrative and educational cadres and its great ambassadors Its persevering graduates, of whom the university is proud, and of their excellence in their fields of work in all countries of the world.
