Student engagement in quality assurance procedures is an integral aspect of the quality culture of the University. The links below provide opportunities for students to be actively involved in enhancing the quality of programme learning, teaching and assessment and outcomes:
Students for Quality Assurance (S4QA) is an initiative launched by the Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) in October 2024. It aims to build a growing community of students who are keen to contribute to the University’s quality assurance initiatives and foster a strong culture of quality across the institution.
At present, participating students are mainly involved in the Periodic Programme Review (PPR) process. As part of this, S4QA members are assigned to Internal Quality Review (IQR) panels, where they help review and evaluate academic programmes.
Each year in October, a call for expressions of interest is published on Newspoint inviting students to join S4QA. Interested students may also register their interest at any time by sending an email to qac@um.edu.mt with the subject line “Student Representatives on IQR Panels”, including:
