Organizational Description
Assumption University (AU) started its education quality through its academic standard guidelines in 1994. To strengthen its education quality, AU established the Center for Excellence (CFE) in 2000 as a facilitating unit to liaise with all QA Committees to ensure that AU’s quality assurance missions were well deployed and accomplished. In 2016, AU incorporated the policy and planning functions into CFE and reestablished the CFE to be the Office of Policy, Planning and Quality Assurance (OPPQA) under direct supervision by the Rector. In 2025, OPPQA was moved to be under the supervision of the Vice President of Academic Affairs.
Currently, OPPQA takes main roles and responsibilities to support the academic and administrative units of AU in the areas of a) policy and strategic planning, b) risk management and c) quality assurance in which an ultimate aim is to promote AU to become one of the leading International Catholic Universities in Asia under the framework of Thailand Quality Award (TQA), the Educational Criteria for Performance Excellence (EdPEx) and ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUN-QA).
