UIII, DEPOK - The Center for Quality Assurance (PPM) at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) is preparing for the university's accreditation, coordinating closely with all internal stakeholders, including faculty members and the Center for Information Technology.
In a meeting held on June 12, 2024, at the UIII Rectorate Building in Depok, West Java, the Head of the Center for Quality Assurance, Suparto, Ph.D., emphasized the need for all instruments for Internal Quality Audit and Monitoring and Evaluation to align with UIII's vision and mission.
“UIII has excellent programs. However, no matter how good our programs are, they will be ‘useless’ if they do not meet the accreditation requirements for both the institution and its study programs,” explained Dr. Suparto.
