Quality Assurance and Accreditation Policy

All education policies

1. Purpose

To embed a continuous quality-assurance system across the University and to secure and maintain national and international accreditation of the institution and its programmes.

2. Scope

This policy applies across Future University in Egypt — all faculties, the Dental Hospital, the training Pharmaceutical Factory, student housing and administrative units — and to students, faculty, staff and, where stated, contractors and suppliers.

3. Definitions

Accreditation

Formal recognition by a competent authority that an institution or programme meets defined quality standards.

Self-study

An institution's documented self-evaluation prepared for accreditation review.

4. Policy statement

• The University maintains a documented internal quality-assurance system covering teaching, assessment, research and community service.
• The institution and its faculties hold NAQAAE accreditation, and programmes pursue relevant international accreditation.
• Quality is evidence-based, drawing on performance indicators, student and stakeholder feedback, and external review.
• Findings from reviews and accreditation drive documented improvement plans.

5. Procedures

1. Each faculty operates a Quality Assurance Unit that collects evidence, prepares annual reports and maintains accreditation documentation.
2. The University's quality function coordinates self-study, external review and accreditation submissions.
3. Key performance indicators are monitored and reported to the University Council.
4. Improvement actions are tracked to completion and verified in the following cycle.

6. Roles and responsibilities

• University Quality Assurance Centre — coordinates the quality system and accreditation.
• Faculty Quality Assurance Units — maintain evidence and reports at faculty level.
• University Council — receives quality reports and endorses improvement.

8. Legal and cultural alignment

Grounded in the mandate of NAQAAE (the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education) and the oversight of the Supreme Council of Private and National Universities. The institution and all faculties hold NAQAAE accreditation; Pharmacy holds ACPE (USA) accreditation and Computers & IT holds ABET (USA) accreditation.

9. The policy in practice

The University applies this policy in its day-to-day work. Examples, by academic year, include:

Academic year 2021/2022

• May 2022 — the University applied it through petroleum-engineering field training at Qarun Petroleum.

Academic year 2022/2023

• October 2022 — the University applied it through a cooperation protocol with SAP for digital-skills training.

Academic year 2024/2025

• January 2025 — the University applied it through a QS Ranking Workshop to help elevate Egyptian universities.

Academic year 2025/2026

• September 2025 — the University applied it through the renewal of its strategic partnership with University College Cork in the presence of the Minister of Higher Education.

Academic year 2026/2027

• October 2026 — the University applied it through the renewal of NAQAAE accreditation for its Faculty of Oral & Dental Medicine.

Together these show the policy at work across the University’s teaching, research and community life.

10. Monitoring and review

Reviewed at least every three years, or sooner if Egyptian law, regulations of the Supreme Council of Universities, or THE/accreditation requirements change. The policy owner is responsible for monitoring how it is applied.
