The MU AUN-QA Assessment 4.0 is Mahidol University’s quality assurance framework for academic programs, developed based on the principles of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and aligned with the ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) framework. It evaluates academic programs across eight key criteria: Expected Learning Outcomes, Program Structure and Content, Teaching and Learning Approach, Student Assessment, Academic Staff, Student Support Services, Facilities and Infrastructure, and Program Output and Outcomes. This assessment serves as an important mechanism for promoting systematic and continuous program quality enhancement. It also supports ICT Mahidol’s mission to develop graduates and researchers with the knowledge, competencies, and capabilities to create research and innovation that respond effectively to changes in society and technology at the international level.
