Dean’s Message

Deanship of Development and Quality Assurance

Dear Visitors,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the page of the Deanship of Development and Quality Assurance at the University of Science and Technology – Sana’a (UST). This page serves as one of the university’s institutional platforms supporting its mission to provide quality higher education, meaningful scientific research, and responsible community service, all guided by clear standards and measurable evidence for continuous improvement.

The Deanship works in close partnership with colleges, academic programs, and supporting administrative units to promote a culture of quality as a daily institutional practice, rather than a temporary procedural requirement. This commitment is reflected in the development of program and course specifications, the formulation and assessment of learning outcomes, the analysis of performance results, the follow-up of improvement plans, and the preparation of supporting evidence for institutional and program accreditation in accordance with national standards and relevant regional and international practices.

At the current stage, the Deanship gives particular attention to updating published academic data, unifying program and course specification templates, and enhancing the clarity of study plans and learning outcomes. These efforts enable students, faculty members, external reviewers, and decision-makers to access accurate, updated, and reliable information. The Deanship also supports colleges in preparing reports, documenting evidence, and translating measurement and evaluation results into actionable development procedures that can be implemented and followed up.

The quality of a university begins with the accuracy of its data, the clarity of its processes, and the sincerity of its commitment to continuous improvement. From this perspective, we affirm that this page is not merely an introductory interface, but also a channel for work and communication through which guides, forms, reports, and services needed by university members and partners are made available.

We look forward to continued cooperation with all colleges, programs, and administrative units in order to strengthen institutional readiness, improve performance efficiency, and consolidate the university’s position locally and regionally.

Sincerely,

Prof. Dr. Amin Mohammed Ahmed Al-Kustaban Dean of Development and Quality Assurance
