Through its quality management system, that is based on continuous enhancement and improvement, BUC seeks to assure quality standards in its academic provisions and administrative and support services and resources in a way that enables BUC to contribute to the well being of the nation. The core goal of the BUC quality management system is to assist with creating standard procedures and shared practices in order to spread the best practices and support continuous improvement of learning, research and community engagement. To this end, BUC has opted for a quality management system that is based on the PDCA Deming cycle as introduced in the following four main steps:
