UTP has been conferred with a TIER 5 (EXCELLENT) rating for D-SETARA ’11.
D-SETARA is a Discipline-Based Rating System which is almost similar to SETARA. It is a measurement tool used by MQA/MoHE to measure quality of teaching and learning for undergraduate programmes in four cluster of disciplines: Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry & Pharmacy, Health Sciences and Hospitality & Tourism.
Participation in D-SETARA is voluntary. Invitations were made to all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) offering undergraduate programmes and have had the first batch of graduates in 2011. The Engineering discipline however, involved only HEIs which offer four-year degree programmes. The number of institutions rated in each discipline were 25 (Engineering), 15 (Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy), 14 (Health Sciences) and 7 (Hospitality and Tourism).
This means that UTP have delivered a 5 Star services to its stakeholders in teaching and learning for Engineering Discipline for undergraduate programmes. Ten (10)other Institutions of Higher Learning were also accorded TIER 5 rating.
