Assuring Quality Education within Monash Academic Plan 2015-2020

Professor Sue Willis, Vice-Provost (Education Programs) at Monash University, will be presenting a seminar for staff on the significance of Quality Education within the framework of the newly launched Monash Academic Plan 2015-2020.

This seminar will cover the broad aspects of assuring quality education at Monash Australia, what it means to be a self-accrediting university in Australia, how does the University ensure quality education is consistently applied across the Monash campuses, what is Monash Academic Plan 2015-2020 and how is quality education assured within the four pillars of the Monash Academic Plan: Excellent, International, Enterprising and Inclusive.

This seminar will endeavour to help you see your role in quality education and how you can contribute to the Academic Plan from where you are – right now and right here at Monash Malaysia.
