Quality Assurance Office

Welcome to the Quality Assurance Office (QAO).

Tung Wah University of Hong Kong (TWUHK) is firmly committed to safeguarding and enhancing the standards of its academic programmes. The priority of QAO is to ensure that our quality assurance (QA) system effectively supports the University’s development as a vibrant degree-awarding institution.

QAO oversees the formulation, implementation and regular review of internal QA policies, procedures and systems at both institutional and programme levels. Through scheduled reviews, stakeholder engagement, data-informed and benchmarking analysis, the University works continuously to enhance learning and teaching, and to keep programmes responsive to the evolving needs of students, employers, industries and the wider community.

Since 2011, the institution has developed a strong track record in academic and professional accreditations, including the attainment of Programme Area Accreditation (PAA) status in three programme areas under the Hong Kong Qualifications Framework. This reflects effective academic governance and a sustained commitment to excellence in programme planning, delivery and review.

A shared QA culture is central to TWUHK. Staff and committees across the University adopt a self-reflective and evidence-based approach, using internal reviews, external assessments and feedback mechanisms to inform ongoing enhancement. Academic policies and mechanisms are reviewed regularly to ensure continued relevance and alignment with the University’s mission and strategic objectives.

The support and participation of stakeholders are crucial to this work. QAO looks forward to continued collaboration with students, staff, alumni, professional bodies and community partners in further strengthening the quality and impact of TWUHK’s education in the years ahead.
