Quality Assurance
The quality assurance program at the
University involves personnel and processes, both internal and external to the institu
tion. These include regular internal reviews
of educational practice and standards and
external assessments of the institution’s
practice and standards. The process is
linked to the University’s voluntary participation with other Adventist institutions and
governing bodies in a recognition process
that involves periodic inspections and site
visits by international teams of higher education specialists. Self-study documents and
annual reports are prepared to facilitate the
visits which are coordinated by the Adventist Accrediting Association. Participation
by the institution in this mutual review process also serves the purpose of assuring Adventist international constituencies that
Asia-Pacific International University meets
internationally established standards and
criteria for academic excellence.
The University is also regularly assessed
by the Thai Government Office of National
Educational Standards and Quality Assessment (ONESQA).
Other regular quality assurance processes
involve:
- Internal moderation of examinations and assessments by Faculty Examination Boards
- Student feedback surveys on the enrolment and orientation processes at the University
- Student feedback surveys of the teaching and learning experience at Asia-Pacific International University
- Administration of an annual University Experience Questionnaire completed by the recent graduates following graduation
- administration of an annual survey of graduate destinations following students’ graduation from the University
- Surveys of employers of graduates from the University to determine levels of employer satisfaction and to obtain feedback for curriculum development.
