QA at UCT: Quality Management System
A key quality assurance principle of the University is its adoption of a self-evaluation model, which demonstrates its own capacity to identify areas for improvement with a view to addressing these effectively via a system of peer review. That is to say, the focus is primarily on the institution's quality management system (QMS). External audits, as well as the University's cycle of five-yearly reviews, will therefore look only at samples of academic practice in order to validate the operation of our QMS.
Within the ambit of its brief, several Task Teams of QAWG are charged with proposing improvements to the University's current system of quality assurance.
Specifically, QAWG's Task Team on Quality Management Systems was charged with charting a way forward by proposing improvements to the University's current management systems and proposed projects plan.
