QA (Quality Assurance)

The Quality Assurance Department was established by a Scientific Council decision on December 17, 2021. On May 18, 2022, the "Quality Management Department" was renamed to the "Quality Assurance and Learning-Teaching Center." On July 23, 2023, the unit adopted its current name — Quality Assurance Department. The department functions as a "student-centered teaching environment support structure," implementing quality planning, monitoring, analysis, control, and continuous improvement across all university activities. Quality Assurance is a system that ensures the university maintains and improves the quality of education, research, and services through continuous monitoring and evaluation. QA helps improve teaching quality, ensure transparency, support accreditation, and increase stakeholder satisfaction.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are used at Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU) to measure the effectiveness of the university's activities in the areas of teaching, research, management and service. These indicators serve to assess the implementation status of strategic goals, continuously improve quality and organize the decision-making process more efficiently. Through KPIs, the university's academic results, student and graduate indicators, scientific activity, international cooperation and infrastructure level are regularly monitored and analyzed.

As part of quality assurance, regular surveys are conducted among various stakeholders (students, academic staff, alumni and employers). The main purpose of these surveys is to assess the quality of education, management and services, identify problems and determine measures to eliminate them. Surveys are mainly carried out through online platforms (Google Forms) and the results are analyzed and included in the decision-making process.

Quality culture is a core value system that supports quality assurance and sustainable development in all areas of activity at Azerbaijan Technical University. This approach is based on the principles of responsibility, transparency and cooperation in teaching, research, management and service processes. In order to form a quality culture at the university, the active participation of all stakeholders - students, academic and administrative staff - is ensured. Activities are analyzed and improved through regular monitoring, evaluation and feedback mechanisms.
