What is the purpose of establishing the Quality Assurance Council (QAC)?
  • The QAC was established in April 2007 as a semi-autonomous non-statutory body under the aegis of the UGC to assist in assuring the quality of programmes (however funded) at first degree and above levels offered by UGC-funded institutions.

  • It aims to assure the quality of educational experience offered in UGC-funded institutions is sustained and improved, and is at an internationally competitive level. It also encourages institutions to excel in this area of activity.

  • The core operational tasks of the QAC include the conduct of institutional audits, the promotion of quality assurance and enhancement, and the spread of good practice.

  • Further details of the QAC and its audit procedures can be found in the QAC Audit Manual at http://www.ugc.edu.hk/eng/qac/publication/publication.htm.
