The Deanship of Quality and Development is the newest deanship at the University of Jeddah. It was established on October 3, 2023, by merging three central and vital entities within the university: the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Administration, the Curriculum and Academic Programs Administration, and the Institutional Transformation Office. The deanship is responsible for all tasks and activities related to both administrative and academic quality assurance, the creation and development of academic programs, and strategic planning processes.
These tasks are structured into three agencies, in addition to the Institutional Transformation Office as an independent entity. The deanship contributes to improving the performance of the university's sectors and entities, building stakeholder trust, enhancing competitiveness, and ensuring that leadership and staff are committed to practicing quality and continuous improvement in all aspects of academic and administrative work. It also plays a role in managing the university's institutional transformation process and achieving strategic and national goals.
The aim of these efforts is to enable the university to compete with similar educational institutions and to meet the standards for institutional and programmatic accreditation, as well as comprehensive administrative quality accreditation requirments.
