This Self-Assessment exercise for Makerere University is conducted in order to measure the performance of the University in its core functions of Teaching & Learning, Research and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships. This exercise reflects on the position that the university occupies in the key core functions at the advent of the collegiate structure. This is done in order to assess the efficiency gains with the introduction of this system.
The self-assessment is based on national, regional and international benchmark metrics. From the regional point of view, the guidelines specified in Volume 4: The Implementation of a Quality Assurance system,which is part of the Handbook for Quality Assurance in Higher Education were followed. To place this exercise in international perspective we have incorporated performance indicators from the Organization for Economic Corporation for Development (OECD) as published in European Universities Association’s Quality Assurance: A Reference System for Indicators and Evaluation Procedures.
The Objectives of the self-assessment:
To improve student learning/experience;
To provide feedback for quality assurance of academic programs;
To obtain a structured reflection on the university support services and operational competencies;
To provide feedback on the university Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis;
