Quality & Institutional Insights

Reporting to the Deputy President, the Quality & Institutional Insights Office (QIO) has two distinct but interconnected functions: quality enhancement and assurance and institutional research and analysis.

A core function of the QIO is to promote, support and facilitate continuous quality improvement activities across the University. Working closely with the Quality Promotion Committee, the Office plays a key role in ensuring that DCU meets its statutory obligations in relation to quality assurance and enhancement.

The QIO also provides institutional research and analysis to support evidence-informed decision-making, strategic planning and performance monitoring across the University. In addition, the Office coordinates the University's engagement with and analysis of international university rankings, helping to inform institutional planning and benchmarking.
