2. AUN-QA Model for Programme Level

rd
The 3 version of the AUN-QA model for programme level (see Figure 2.1) starts
with stakeholders needs. These needs are formulated into the expected learning
outcomes which drive the programme (1st Column). There are four rows in the
middle of the model and the first row addresses the question of how the expected
learning outcomes are translated into the programme; and how they can be achieved
via teaching and learning approach and student assessment.

The second row considers the "input" into the process including academic and
support staff; student quality and support; and facilities and infrastructure.

The third row addresses the quality enhancement of the programme covering
curriculum design and development, teaching and learning, student assessment,
quality of support services and facilities, and stakeholders’ feedback.

The fourth row focuses on the output of the programme including pass rates and
dropout rates, the average time to graduate, employability of the graduates, research
activities and stakeholders’ satisfaction.

The final column addresses the achievements of the expected learning outcomes
and the programme.

The model ends with the fulfilment of stakeholders’ needs and the continuous
improvement of the quality assurance system and benchmarking to seek best
practices.
