Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
| Indicators | Target | Measurement Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Student satisfaction | Above 80% | Annually |
| Graduate employment rate (6 months) | 90% | Annually |
| Academic publications (per year) | 20% increase (in 3 years) | Annually |
Monitoring and Review
Quality assurance performance is evaluated annually by the department’s quality committee. Measured data and implemented improvement actions are published in an annual report.
Continuous Improvement Cycle
The Plan–Do–Check–Act (PDCA) approach is adopted. Improvement plans are developed for identified deficiencies, implemented, measured, and refined to enhance the overall process.
Transparency and Accountability
Departmental quality reports, survey results, and improvement plans are published on the department’s website for public access. Feedback from stakeholders is recorded and integrated into the evaluation process.
