Internal quality assurance

Internal Quality Assurance Policy

1. Basic Concept of Internal Quality Assurance

Based on our founding spirit of "the spirit of Self-help and Cooperation," our university adheres to an internal quality assurance system in order to realize our educational philosophy of "cultivating creative human resources who will take on the challenge of pursuing diverse dreams and leap into the future of Asia." fulfill its social mission as
Educational activities are central to internal quality assurance, and inspections, evaluations, and improvements are constantly carried out based on three policies (degree awarding, curriculum development and implementation, and student acceptance).

2. Organization responsible for promoting internal quality assurance

Under the leadership of President, the Internal Quality Assurance Evaluation Committee is responsible for promoting university-wide internal quality assurance. Under the Internal Quality Assurance Evaluation Committee, there is the Self-Inspection Committee, under which are the faculties, research schools, and other organizations.

3. Internal quality assurance procedures

(1) Faculties, research schools, and other organizations work on priority issues set by the Internal Quality Assurance Evaluation Committee, and submit this as a self-inspection report to the self-inspection committee.
(2) The Self-Assessment Committee compiles self-inspection reports from faculties, research schools, and other organizations by priority issue and submits them to the Internal Quality Assurance Evaluation Committee.
(3) The Internal Quality Assurance Evaluation Committee evaluates internal quality assurance (improvement issues, correction recommendations) based on the self-inspection report submitted by the Self-inspection Committee, and presents the evaluation results as a self-inspection/evaluation report. In addition to announcing it inside and outside the university, we will set priority issues and reflect them in the next business plan.

Self-check/evaluation activities

In order to constantly conduct self-inspection and evaluation to improve the level of education research and fulfill social responsibilities, the school has established rules for self-inspection and evaluation, and established an internal quality assurance evaluation committee chaired by the President. We systematically inspect and evaluate each field of education, research, and administration, centering on .
In addition, we conduct surveys such as the Graduation Student Questionnaire and the Student Awareness and Learning Survey, which are used to understand and improve the student's academic and living conditions.

Certification evaluation

Since 2004, a system has been introduced in which all national, public and private universities are subject to periodic evaluations by persons certified by the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. This is called an accreditation system. The purpose of accreditation and evaluation is to receive evaluation from society by the publication of evaluation results by accreditation bodies, and to encourage universities to improve themselves based on evaluation results.
 
Asia University was certified as conforming to university standards in 2019, following on from 2005 and 2012.

In addition to the accreditation and evaluation by the Japan University Accreditation Association, in order to ensure the objectivity and validity of our self-inspection and evaluation activities and to further improve the level of education research, we have received evaluations from external experts. We conduct external evaluations with the aim of reflecting this in our self-inspection and evaluation activities.

Various questionnaire surveys

We investigate study life, learning aspects, and the situation before admission, and utilize the results for educational activities, student support, improvement of facilities and equipment, and public relations activities.
