University Accountability Agreement for the 2025-28 Triennium

The University Accountability Agreement (UAA) seeks to enhance accountability and transparency of university performance in the UGC-sector. The first set of the UAAs for the 2019-22 triennium between the UGC and individual universities was signed in 2019, and was subsequently renewed in 2022 and 2025 for the 2022-25 triennium and the 2025-28 triennium respectively. In addition to setting out the overall strategic directions and the principles underpinning the allocation of funding in the 2025-28 triennium, the UAA contains performance indicators which help the UGC assess the performance of universities against their individual circumstances. Such indicators comprise sector-wide performance measures and institution-specific key performance indicators in the following five activity domains: (i) Quality of student experience of teaching and learning; (ii) Research strength and research postgraduate experience; (iii) Sharing and transfer of knowledge and community engagement; (iv) Enhanced internationalisation and engagement with the Mainland; and (v) Financial health, institutional social responsibilities and sustainability.
