In order to realize its vision of “Becoming an Internationally Recognized University, and Inspired by Islamic Values”, UAD has encouraged several of its study programs to take part in the AUN-QA certification. AUN-QA is an ASEAN level certification that aims to monitor the quality of study programs by taking measurements in a systematic, structured, and continuous manner.

From 3 to 7 May 2021, three UAD study programs, namely Bachelor of Pharmacy, Bachelor of Guidance and Counseling, and Bachelor of Psychology, conducted an online AUN-QA assessment. 7 assessors performed the assessment, namely Prof. Dr. Clarita Carillo and Dr. Nguyen Huy Phuc for Pharmacy Study Program, Prof. Dr. Yahya Md. Sam and Professor Isabel Pefianco Martin for Guidance and Counseling Study Program, and Prof. Dr. Wyona C. Patalinghug, Assoc., Prof. Dr. Pham Van Tuan and Dr Luerat Anuratpanich for Psychology Study Program.

The activity was started with an opening followed by a discussion with faculty managers, study programs, university and faculty level academic staffs, students, alumni and graduates. In addition, the assessor team also observed all facilities that support live streaming learning. Various stages of preparation were conducted before the visitation. One of them was the Readiness Test to ensure that the information system at UAD is able to facilitate the online assessment process. With long and continuous preparations, the entire series of visitations were well conducted.

The Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI), which is the main requirement for a university to maintain its quality, requires a strong understanding of all elements involved in the SPMI. One element that supports the implementation of quality assurance at the faculty level is the Faculty Quality System Controller (PSMF) and at the study program level, the Study Program Quality System Controller (PSMP).

On 2-3 February 2021, the UAD Quality Assurance Unit in collaboration with the UGM Quality Assurance Office held an In House Training (IHT). The activity which was attended by representatives of PSMF and PSMP took the theme of Internal Quality Assurance System. The activity of the first day was discussions on National Policies related to SPMI and the implementation of SPMI at UGM. On the second day, there was a discussion about the Documentation System as one of the important elements in SPMI. Discussions with experts at UGM were able to increase the understanding of SPMI and the knowledge gained could be taken into consideration in improving SPMI at UAD.
