Foreword

AUN-QA Network is established as the ASEAN quality assurance network in higher
education with the responsibility to promote quality assurance in higher education
institutions, raise the quality of higher education, and collaborate with both regional
and international bodies for the benefit of the ASEAN community.

Since the inception of the AUN-QA assessment at the programme level in 2007,
more than 160 study programmes have been assessed by AUN-QA Network and
AUN-QA members and associate members have benefited from the assessment.

In rising to the challenges of the ASEAN community, AUN-QA Network has to be
bold and forward looking in advocating a harmonised framework for quality
assurance in higher education within and outside ASEAN. To this end, AUN-QA
Network has to ensure that its quality assurance framework and documentation
remain relevant and current. This third version of the guidebook is the fruit of the
documentation review by a team of experts from AUN-QA Network.

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge and express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Johnson
Ong Chee Bin, AUN-QA Expert, for editing the guidebook, and to the members of
the AUN-QA Council and the documentation review team for their contributions to
the revision of the manual.
