Quality Assurance Council publishes report on quality audit of Lingnan University
*********************************************************************************
The Quality Assurance Council (QAC) under the University Grants Committee (UGC) today (June 27) published the report on the quality audit of Lingnan University (LU) in the third audit cycle.
LU was the eighth university audited in the third audit cycle, which places an emphasis on how individual universities review and enhance their frameworks on academic standards and academic quality, academic programme development, teaching and learning, student learning assessments and support for students, as well as the collection, analysis and usage of data to inform such quality assurance processes.
The audit report presents the findings of the audit panel appointed by the QAC based on the self-evaluation report prepared by LU and a series of audit meetings with staff, students and external stakeholders (such as employers) of the university held in October 2024. The audit report was endorsed by the UGC after being considered by the QAC.
The report identified a number of features of good practice and a recommended action with a view to encouraging LU and the higher education sector as a whole to strive for continuous enhancement of their quality assurance regimes. The full audit report with the formal response from LU is available on the QAC website (www.ugc.edu.hk/eng/qac/about/term/publications/report.html) for public access.
The QAC quality audits ascertain whether the arrangements for quality assurance adopted by universities are fit for purpose and comparable with international best practices. The QAC third audit cycle covers all programmes at the levels of sub-degree, first degree and above, however funded, leading to a qualification wholly or partly awarded by the UGC-funded universities.
The QAC expressed gratitude to LU and all stakeholders for their support for the quality audit.
