As we navigate the complex tapestry of the twenty-first century, where change is constant, the global higher education landscape is undergoing profound shifts that define its present and signal its future. In this book, the author probes the mechanisms of quality assurance to not only ensure excellence but also resonate as responses to the contemporary landscape shaped by the challenges of globalization, technological advancement, and societal transformation. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
