Raffles University is central to the very successful development of high quality relevant education through the Raffles Education Corporation (REC). REC has many years of experience of offering strong academic and professional programmes within Raffles Design Institute, Raffles College of Design and Commerce (RCDC), Raffles Education Corporation College (RECC), Raffles School of Psychology and Raffles School of InfoComm.

Raffles University extends this by offering a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, initially in Design, Business and Science & Technology. The University's programmes will be delivered through REC's already extensive network of Colleges in South East Asia, China, India and Australasia.

The University operates as a self-accredited institution. Its quality assurance systems and academic standards are attested by a rigorous internal QA system, drawing upon external expertise from a number of established international universities. REC already has many years of experience of working with university partners in the UK and Australia and of operating successfully within different quality assurance systems in those countries. Oversight of the University's standards is undertaken through an Academic Advisory Council which includes experienced senior academics from the UK, Australia, the US, China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

Raffles University works in partnership with a number of well known international universities within a major international education network that offers its students a wide range of opportunities to study either locally or through a combination of local and international study. RU manages quality assurance and programme development for the REC Group delivering its own degrees and those of RCDC and University of Wales (Uow). This network supports the University's commitment and determination to offer first class professionally relevant education programmes that equip its students to compete successfully within a global economy.

At the heart of all the University'sis a philosophy of offering curricula and student experiences that encourage the development of creativity and entrepreneurship in individuals so as to empower them to maximize their potential in their lives and their careers.
