Collaborative research
Supporting joint research projects across member universities to strengthen research capacity in Puntland.
Research & quality
Evidence-based research, assured quality
Strengthening academic quality and research capacity across Puntland's universities.
Our approach
Four areas of focus
APU works with member institutions on research and on the standards that underpin it.
Publications
Publishing findings so they contribute to the wider academic community and to evidence-based policy.
Quality assurance
Establishing quality assurance mechanisms and standards that member universities work towards.
Continuous improvement
Improving the quality of teaching and learning through consultation, information exchange and innovation.
Standards
Raising academic standards together
Quality assurance at APU is a shared undertaking: member universities agree common standards, review progress, and support one another in meeting them.
- Common quality assurance mechanisms for member universities
- Peer review and information exchange between institutions
- Support for staff development and academic capacity
- Publication and dissemination of research findings
