IFTM is also the world\u2019s first higher education institution to pass the \u201cInternational Quality Review (IQR)\u201d of QAA in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>IFTM has been recognised as having a strong regional and international reputation. This new accolade will further strengthen its reputation and critical standing regionally and across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cQAA Global Accreditation\u201d, launched in November last year, is awarded to institutions that have passed the QAA\u2019s rigorous \u201cInternational Quality Review (IQR)\u201d, an independent peer review measuring global institutions against the 10 standards of the internationally respected European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Fanny Vong, IFTM President, said: \u201cThe Global Accreditation gives us the confidence and motivation to keep enhancing the quality of our programmes and overall management of the Institute. We will continue to nurture talents for the tourism and service industry of Macao, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and other countries and regions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By securing the Global Accreditation with QAA, international institutions can clearly spotlight their quality standards internationally, and more easily open dialogue with institutions outside their domestic market.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Douglas Blackstock, QAA Chief Executive, said: \u201cThis is a fantastic achievement for IFTM, demonstrating that they operate at the highest level of quality assurance. Successful institutions rely on collaboration and benchmarking, and that\u2019s exactly what IQR provides: allowing international institutions to measure their own quality assurance against European quality standards. It also allows international institutions to demonstrate and improve their effectiveness, improve public perception and promote themselves in partnerships with U.K. and European institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more about International Quality Review and Global Accreditation at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qaa.ac.uk\/training-and-services\/iqr\" target=\"_blank\">qaa.ac.uk\/iqr<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IFTM has become one of the first 3 higher education institutions in the world to receive \u201cQAA Global Accreditation\u201d from the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), U.K.\u2019s independent body and a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":2553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[136,1704],"tags":[458,1336,1334,1335],"class_list":["post-5686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main_headline","category-university-news","tag-international-quality-review","tag-iqr","tag-qaa-global-accreditation","tag-quality-assurance-agency"],"views":203,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5686"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5686\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5690,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5686\/revisions\/5690"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.utm.edu.mo\/NewsPortal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
