Ajman University’s Mass Communication Program Awarded Prestigious AQAS Accreditation

We are pleased to announce that Ajman University (AU) has been awarded yet another international accreditation, adding to our growing list of accreditations and global rankings. Our College of Mass Communication’s Bachelor of Art degree program –with specializations in Radio and Television; Public Relations and Advertising; and Graphic Design – was awarded the prestigious AQAS (Agency for Quality Assurance through Accreditation of Study Programs) accreditation after a rigorous review process.

AU is now part of an elite network of 6,600 institutions around the world with a program holding this coveted accreditation.

AQAS is a non-profit organization dedicated to the accreditation of higher education institutions in Germany and is listed in the European Register for Higher Education. It is a certified member of the European University Association, the European Consortium for Accreditation, the European Network for Quality Assurance, and the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education.

The review process for the AQAS accreditation was conducted entirely online, which created unique challenges. However, the diligent efforts of our staff and faculty at the College of Mass Communications and of the wider AU community ensured that all the intensive criteria to qualify for the accreditation were met and exceeded.

Impressed by the commitment of AU stakeholders, the head of the visiting team from AQAS remarked, "Positive cooperation that was not only highly professional but also a very pleasant personal experience."

Commenting on this feat, Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor, Ajman University said, "This achievement has been possible due to the tireless efforts of our faculty and staff, each of whom strived hard to set the highest standards of professional and academic excellence. We hope to keep replicating this success across other colleges and programs in the days to come."
