Message from the Director – Centre for Quality Assurance, University of Ruhuna
At the Centre for Quality Assurance (CQA) of the University of Ruhuna, we believe that quality is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing process embedded in every academic and administrative function. Rather than focusing solely on end results, our approach emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement, good practices, and a shared commitment to excellence. Quality assurance at our university is centered on fostering a culture where planning, implementation, review, and refinement are routine. This involves the systematic use of internal reviews, stakeholder feedback, and benchmarking to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of our programmes and services.
We work closely with faculties, departments, and administrative units to strengthen internal quality mechanisms, promote best practices, and ensure that quality assurance is integrated into decision-making and everyday operations. Our commitment is to support academic excellence, learner-centered teaching, and responsive curricula through transparent, participatory processes. Staff development, peer review, curriculum alignment, and constructive self-assessment are key tools we use to ensure our processes remain dynamic and relevant.
Aligned with our Vision “to assure the highest quality in all study programmes of the University that is respected
worldwide,” we strive to ensure that our academic offerings meet international standards while addressing national priorities. The CQA’s Mission “to ensure continuous quality improvements and to achieve standards of academic excellence through quality assurance mechanisms” guides us in implementing effective, sustainable quality systems.
As we face the evolving demands of higher education, the CQA remains dedicated to upholding academic integrity, fostering innovation, and creating an institutional culture of accountability and excellence. We encourage every member of the University of Ruhuna community—academic staff, non-academic staff, and students alike—to actively contribute to this ongoing journey of quality enhancement. Through collective effort and shared responsibility, we aim to build an institution that not only meets expectations but continuously sets new benchmarks in higher education.
