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.
