Quality Assurance has become a defining feature of higher education in the last two decades. External agencies for quality assurance and accreditation have flourished across the world, and these are matched by government requirements and internal quality assurance processes. Rigorously operated, quality assurance is a powerful force for development and improvement; it serves accountability, transparency and public reassurance that universities are 'doing their job' well. A key feature of quality assurance is fitness for purpose, and this touches all aspects of a university's operations, from learning and teaching to administrative features and the management and leadership systems that support these. Quality touches input, process and outcome, and these feature in the university's systematic quality assurance activities.

Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) accords a high priority to quality assurance in all its work. Its Quality Assurance Office has been established to develop, implement and ensure quality across the university. Its work is matched by the steps that have been taken in academic and administrative departments to ensure that the highest quality of learning, teaching, curricula, research and the academic pursuit of knowledge is maximized, and that this is supported by efficient and effective administration and management. The Quality Assurance pages on the MUST website attest to the developments in this field within the university.
