AUN-QA Welcomes 11 New Associate Member Universities

On 30 April 2025, the ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) Council approved 11 new Associate Member Universities to join the AUN-QA family. As this growing constellation of institutions continues to expand under the umbrella of quality assurance in ASEAN higher education, AUN-QA deepens its strengths and credibility. The addition of these institutions reinforces the network’s long-lasting mission to create an ecosystem where knowledge can smoothly flow between each university–a factor that thereby propels the momentum of this well-established thematic network which ensures the communication and engagement between AUN-QA and its member universities contribute to one another’s growth.

The acceptance of these universities into the AUN-QA family reflects a strong foundation and commitment in quality assurance, and showcases the depth of understanding of the AUN-QA system among QA experts in these institutions. As new members, they are positioned to participate in an expansive range of vibrant workshops and training such as The Assessors Training Workshop for AUN-QA Programme Assessment (Tier 2 Training) and The AUN-QA Training Course for Accomplishing Institutional Assessment (Tier 3 Training). These trainings will ultimately pave the way for AUN-QA to conduct assessments at the programme and institutional level. Through this entrance, member universities will be able to leverage the network to exchange knowledge, build long-lasting relationships and facilitate mutual learning that can lead to more comprehensive quality assurance in the ASEAN higher education.
