About Informatics Academy

The Informatics Academy has been institutionalized to ensure that its award, bearing the quality assurance mark, will be recognised and accepted by employers and universities for employment and transfer credit respectively.

The Informatics Academic Governance is the backbone on which the quality of our awards is judged. Collectively, the Academic Council interacts with the International Advisory Panel and thereby empowers Examination Council and Examination Board the authority to grant the Informatics Academy awards.

Represented by a group of respected and experienced academic leaders drawn from universities in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States of America, each member of the International Advisory Panel brings with them a wide range of educational leadership and management experience. The Academic Council is responsible for the academic affairs for Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Institute of Business, Finance and Management, Institute of Engineering and Institute of Knowledge Economy.
