UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE

Pioneer International University Trust is the sponsoring body for Pioneer International University. The University received its Letter of Interim Authority in 2012, and is consistently working towards the full Charter accreditation. Pioneer International University is committed to developing and maintaining a governance and organizational structure that is effective, flexible, sustainable, transparent and viable.

This commitment is outlined in the University’s Strategic Plan 2020-2025 whereby the following goals, in relation to governance and organizational structure, are prioritized:

  • Reviewing and monitoring on a continuous basis the effectiveness of organizational structures and processes within the University;
  • Outlining and revising key areas of accountability, roles and line management functions;
  • Continuing the development of a robust quality assurance system to inform and support governance and organizational structures; and
  • ensuring that strategic targets set for the University have built-in mechanisms for monitoring their effectiveness.

The University Governing Council (U.G.C) is the University’s supreme governing body providing strategic guidance and monitoring the activities and effectiveness of the management. The Council holds the responsibility of ensuring that the University’s overall mission, strategy, and direction are delivered through an effective framework of both governance and management. The Council constructively supports the Vice-Chancellor and the two decision-making bodies within the University, the University Management Board and the University Senate.

Pioneer International University is committed to maintaining and developing an organization that can deliver its mission according to the values of the University. The Directorate of Quality Assurance and Compliance (DQAC) has developed a quality assurance system that is based on these values and enhances the University’s ability to meet our strategic objectives.

We are committed to developing and embedding a quality culture that embodies continuous planning, defining, encouraging, assessing and improving practice. We believe that the students, staff and external stakeholders of our University are the pivotal actors in the process of embedding a quality culture.

The continuous process of QAC for PIU is critical in determining our educational commitment and the maintenance of high academic and programme standards. In this context, our academic review procedures are subject to the authority of Senate through the DQAC, responsible for the coordination, monitoring and implementation of all aspects of the Internal Quality Assurance Process (IQAP). The IQAP functions are dictated by the Quality Assurance Framework which outline the processes by which existing academic programs are reviewed, modified, or discontinued and new programs introduced. PIU’s IQAP will apply to the consideration of all academic programs.
