In the process of performance evaluation, quantitative and qualitative data are analysed, valuable&nbsp;feedback is shared between community members, social partners and other stakeholders. National and international experts provide recommendations during institutional, course and research evaluations. The quality of the University\u2019s studies and the results of its research activities are compared in national and international rankings of higher education institutions. Those responsible for analysing data on internal quality processes systematically collect and analyse the data, make it publicly available to the community, and provide it to the University\u2019s management for evaluation, identifying successes and areas for improvement that promote progress.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tabs-h md:flex border border-gray-300 mt-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"js-tabs full-v-color-tabs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"current\" id=\"organising-feedback\"><a href=\"#tab-01\">Organising feedback<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li  id=\"monitoring-analysis-and-reports\"><a href=\"#tab-02\">Monitoring, analysis and reports<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li  id=\"internal-audit-and-internal-control\"><a href=\"#tab-03\">Internal audit and internal control<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li  id=\"external-expert-assessment-and-audits\"><a href=\"#tab-04\">External expert assessment and audits<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li  id=\"national-and-international-rankings\"><a href=\"#tab-05\">National and international rankings<\/a><\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tab-c active\" id=\"tab-01\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"prose md:prose-lg smh-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In order to raise the calibre of the university\u2019s operations, input is gathered from the community, social partners, and other interested parties.
