FEU earns AUN-QA Institutional Certification 

Far Eastern University (FEU) has earned the ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) Institutional Certification, reaffirming its commitment to quality education,  sustainability, and community engagement. This recognition indicates the overall quality and  governance of the university, ensuring it meets ASEAN regional standards. It strengthens  FEU’s standing not only as an institution but also complements its 18 AUN-QA program  accreditations, which assess the quality of specific academic programs. 

The AUN-QA Institutional Assessment highlighted FEU’s core values, along with its academic  excellence, strong governance, and innovative approach to holistic student development. The  university’s Community Extension Services were commended for their research-based  alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Experts of AUN-QA explored two of FEU’s flagship community initiatives. One is its partnership  with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, which equips female inmates with life and  work skills to help them reintegrate into society. Another is Project Mangyan, an initiative  dedicated to preserving indigenous traditions while providing community members with  sustainable livelihood training and essential resources. 

The university’s environmental sustainability efforts were also recognized. Its 4.4-hectare  Manila campus, known as a “green campus” both literally and figuratively, features lush  gardens, quiet spaces, and five Art Deco buildings cited by the United Nations Educational,  Scientific and Cultural Organization. The university leads in sustainable practices, having  pioneered a chilled water district cooling system and now a centralized potable water filtration 

and distribution plant reducing its overall carbon footprint significantly. Electricity in FEU is  additionally 100% supplied from renewable power providers.  

This certification solidifies FEU’s standing as a premier university in the Southeast Asian region, complementing its distinction as one of only three Philippine universities in the  Quacquarelli Symonds Rankings with AUN Institutional Accreditation.  

“It’s very pleasing to note that we have in place, first and foremost the right personnel and  organization, that our facilities are high level and that our systems and governance practices  robust to deliver consistent quality education,” said FEU President Juan Miguel Montinola.
