My name is Ligia Boca and have been working at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Iasi Romania (UAIC) since September 2008, as a quality assurance officer.

„Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași (uaic.ro)

I work in direct relation and collaboration with the Management of University, aiding the Quality Assurance Committee of the University in developing and implementing the necessary measures regarding the quality assurance of the process of teaching and learning in our institution. I am involved in the process of developing and implementing the quality standards, policies and procedures. A big part of my job consists in collecting and compiling statistical quality data, analysing the information gathered in order to identify areas for improvement in the quality system and inform the university leadership about. Also, I prepare reports to communicate outcomes of quality activities, I provide information on quality assurance to teachers, students and the public. I prepare all documents regarding quality assurance and fulfilling the decisions taken and I offer support to faculties in developing the self-evaluation reports of the studies programs, or any other activities.

Our main concern – the University Management- regarding UAIC is how to create and maintain the image of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iaşi, in its quality of forum for education, science and culture in Romania and abroad, how to make our institution more visible worldwide in order to persuade foreign students to attend the study programs offered by our university, how to offer our students a quality learning environment.
