Our primary goal at the University of Cyberjaya (UoC) is to deliver high-quality educational experiences. The Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia (MOHE) has registered us as a private higher education institution and awarded us a 5-star (excellent) rating.
The three pillars of quality assurance that underpin UoC’s quality initiatives are accountability, self-evaluation, and external peer review (e.g., MQA’s accreditation audits and the selection of external examiners for important exams).
Established in July 2013, the Quality Management and Enhancement Centre (QuaMEC) led the effort to guarantee that the highest quality was always attained and maintained.
To satisfy quality requirements, the centre offers coordinating and facilitating responsibilities in the design, implementation, management, and assessment of academic programs. It also provides the BEST strategies and tools to help diverse academic programs and other UoC units improve themselves.
