Ajman University Secures Renewal of International Institutional Accreditation from the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency (QAA)

Ajman University has achieved another milestone in its distinguished journey with the renewal of its International Institutional Accreditation by the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). This achievement reaffirms AU’s position as one of the leading institutions regionally and globally in academic quality assurance. The University first obtained this prestigious accreditation in 2020 for a five-year term.

The International Quality Review (IQR) is a rigorous process designed to benchmark higher education institutions worldwide against international quality assurance standards, based on the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ESG). The review panel confirmed that Ajman University successfully met all ten ESG standards for internal quality assurance, underscoring the University’s adherence to international benchmarks and its ability to deliver high-quality academic programs.

Commenting on this achievement, Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor of Ajman University, said:

“The renewal of QAA’s International Institutional Accreditation is a powerful endorsement of Ajman University’s strategic trajectory and our commitment to embedding world-class standards across teaching, learning, and research. It reflects our role as a non-profit institution contributing to the UAE’s national priorities in innovation, sustainability, and the knowledge economy, while expanding our impact on the global higher education landscape.”

This accreditation renewal reinforces Ajman University’s long-term commitment to growth, innovation, and impact. By embedding best global practices and continuously elevating its academic and research capacity, AU is advancing its role as a leading non-profit institution in the UAE and an influential contributor to the global higher education landscape.
