Abstract
Abstract: The Quality Assurance（QA）system of higher education in UK was constructed in the root of the tradition of institutional autonomy and external review of higher educational institutions.
Since the enforcement at the end of the 20th century, UK QA went through three stages of developments, respectively as of institutional audit, process-based institutional review and outcome-driven institutional review. During the process of evolution, UK QA system signals significant trends of development in three prospective, including a student-oriented expectation, a more public-facing attitude and a shift of power from two dimensional control to a multi-stakeholder collective governance mode.
