Quality Assurance of Australian Universities
Some of the measures that operate to safeguard and improve quality of Australia’s Universities include:
- The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) took over from AUQA in 2011
- Universities Australia(Universities Australia)
The Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency
TEQSA is an independent body with powers to regulate university and non-university higher education providers, monitor quality and set standards. TEQSA registers providers, carries out evaluations of standards and performance, protects and assures the quality of international education and streamlines current regulatory arrangements. It joins together the regulatory activity previously undertaken in the AustralianStates and Territories with the quality assurance activities undertaken by AUQA.
TEQSA is currently operating in a quality assurance capacity and began its regulatory functions in January 2012. TEQSA continues to establish links with international quality and accreditation agencies worldwide.
Universities Australia
Universities Australia operates a Code of Ethical Practice in the Provision of Education to International Students by AustralianUniversities, and associated Guidelines.
The code provides ethical practice guidelines for universities about promotion and marketing, and agents and partners. It also provides information about
- the admission of students,
- arrival and orientation,
- student support,
- fee-charging and refunds,
- university infrastructure,
- returning home support.
The Code of Practice provides overseas students with clear assurances in respect of:
- maintaining academic standards,
- being accurate and honest in the provision of information to prospective students,
- the welfare of international students,
- being sensitive to the culture, customs and linguistic needs and characteristics of international students,
- delivering to students the commitments made to them by education agents or others representing the University,
- the refund policy for overseas students.
How Good Are Australian Universities?
Australia has traditionally been the home of inventors and scientists right from its early settlement. This has happened partly out of necessity because in our early days, we were a long way from the rest of the industrialised world and we had to rely on what could be produced locally. However, it is also true that our education system (especially our universities) is responsible for developing a culture of innovation and discovery.
This culture of innovation aims to:
- make the best use of national and international information networks,
- encourage creativity in all forms of research,
- promote collaboration between university researchers and industry,
- disseminate the outcomes of research to the wider community.
Australian scientists and researchers have been responsible for many advances in business and industry, and have made significant contributions in medical science. Their investigations over the years have had a profound impact on the lives of ordinary people around the world.
Australians have won prestigious international awards including these eight Nobel Prizes:
2005 – Medicine
1996 – Medicine
1975 – Chemistry
1973 – Literature
1963 – Medicine
1960 – Medicine
1945 – Medicine
1915 – Physics
Australians are acknowledged as being dynamic and innovative. Australia has been a pioneer in solar energy research and Australian scientists are investigating other potential energy sources. Australian advances in technology include the development of an internationally accepted aircraft landing system, the black box flight recorder, bionic ear implants, a heart pacemaker, the vaccine for cancer of the cervix, and computer hardware and software.
Australia is also at the forefront of producing new technologies such as wave-piercing ocean catamarans, solar-powered cars and the revolutionary orbital engine.
Innovations in science and technology are strong drivers of economic growth. Australia is both well-positioned and well-resourced to make a difference in global innovation.
Significant Australian inventions include:
- Penicillin – (Howard Walter Florey)
- Ultrasound scanners – (Sonography)
- Radio telescopes
- Photovoltaic cells (Solar cells)
- The Xerox photocopying process
- The Electric Drill
- Postage stamps
- Regular ‘around the world’ airline services
- The inflatable aircraft escape slide
- The automatic letter-sorting machine
- The two stroke lawn mower
- The rotary hoist washing line (hills hoist)
- Lithium as a treatment for manic depression
- Latex gloves
- Flexible wine casks – (Box wine)
