Expand and improve
Building on the areas highlighted in the ASIC Standards, Platinum is an additional level of accreditation that will expand and improve on the areas assessed in your initial ASIC Accreditation. A refreshing counterpoint to the disproportionate emphasis on reputation and research at the heart of traditional world ranking criteria, Platinum Crowns helps you celebrate the attributes which make your institution stand out in the crowded international market.
Although we have designed Platinum as an alternative to current world ranking methods, we understand that the existing systems hold weight with students and their sponsors. During the evaluation stage of Platinum, we can also assist with improving your World University Ranking (if appropriate) and work on your QS Star Rating - with Platinum Crowns providing a complementary way for you to display achievement in areas not recognised in other systems.
Crowns
Crowns from 1 - 5 are awarded across the following areas:
- Teaching Quality and Motivation for Learning
- Employability
- Research
- Internationalisation
- Learning Environment
- IT Infrastructure
- Cultural and Social Enhancement
