Internal Evaluation Committee

The University of Nicosia has established a comprehensive internal programme evaluation process to ensure the continuous enhancement of academic quality and student learning outcomes. The Department of Digital Innovation, through its Departmental Council, appoints both internal and external evaluators who are responsible for assessing the programme’s quality, effectiveness, and alignment with academic and professional standards. Based on their findings, evaluators provide recommendations aimed at further strengthening the programmes.

The Departmental Council also appoints a three-member Internal Evaluation Committee comprising:

  • the Head or Associate Head of the Department;
  • a faculty member with experience and expertise in quality assurance and program evaluation; and
  • a student representative from the programmes.

The Committee regularly reviews the programmes’ implementation, performance, and development, and submits recommendations for improvement to the Departmental Council.

In addition, at the end of each semester, review meetings are held involving the Dean of the School, the Head of the Department, and the Programme Coordinator. During these meetings, programme performance is examined, and areas for enhancement are identified. Faculty members also contribute to the continuous improvement process by raising issues and proposing recommendations for discussion at Departmental Council meetings.

As part of the quality assurance framework, all course syllabi are reviewed by the respective Course Coordinators and the Programme Coordinator to ensure consistency, relevance, and alignment with programme objectives and learning outcomes. Furthermore, student feedback is systematically collected through anonymous questionnaires, enabling the Department to conduct self-assessments and identify opportunities for improvement.

The Internal Evaluation Committees operate at both the University and the Department, in accordance with the quality assurance guidelines established by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA).
