The most obvious mark of creation is shown through many newly designed and built training programs, namely the Master of Journalism training program with application orientation and the high-quality Bachelor of Journalism training program with social orientation, which have received positive feedback from public opinion. And most recently, it was the birth of the Master of Journalism and Communication Management Program, an interdisciplinary program between journalism and communication science and management science, and the Master of Journalism and Communication Economics Program (in association with the University of Economics, VNU). The Institute of Journalism and Communication has truly become the focal point for many cooperative activities in training and joint training, and is the destination of many universities and international organizations such as Artevelde University (Belgium), Hallym University (Korea), Stirling (UK), Deakin University (Australia), WCS (World Wildlife Fund of the United States), ...

Over the past 3 years, the image of the Institute has always appeared impressively and won high awards at major events such as the National Press Festival, National PT-TH Festival, etc. Those activities not only contribute to building the prestige and brand of the Institute but also contribute to the overall development of the School and Hanoi National University, recognized by the Party, State and international leaders through certificates of merit, medals and noble awards.
Party work is not just about slogans.
The role of Party work and Party cells is not only in general slogans. Party resolutions at all levels are thoroughly understood and concretized into long-term, medium-term and short-term work programs and plans with the enthusiastic participation and high responsibility of a large number of cadres and students, first of all, all Party members in the Party cells.
The Party Cell of the Institute of Journalism and Communication has only 26 members - but has created a foundation of close solidarity and high consensus in the collective when implementing major development orientations of the School and the unit. The policies of the School Party Committee and the higher-level Party Committee are always closely followed by the Party Cell and concretized in specific directions and action plans. Through democratic exchange and discussion, clear assignment of responsibilities, Party members are attached to each other not only in professional activities but also in daily life.
The Institute received the decision to launch the Master of Journalism and Media Management training program in early 2020.
People are the decisive factor in the strength of a collective. The successes that the Institute has achieved stem from the planning and effective use of staff by the Party Committee. The staff consists of 26 officers and lecturers with an average age of around 30, of which 90% have PhD qualifications, including many teachers trained at the world's leading universities in journalism and communications. The teachers are the core that creates the unique "quality" in the Institute's professional activities, and are experts in core journalism fields such as: print, electronic, television, radio, multimedia journalism, data journalism, journalism and communications management, crisis management, journalism economics, etc. The Party Committee of the Institute has also had solutions to attract experts, managers, and leaders in the journalism and communications industry to collaborate and teach part-time at the Institute. Thanks to that, the research and training activities of journalism and communication at the Institute are both academic and practical due to the close connection with the quality staff of external press agencies. At the same time, journalism and communication students have the opportunity to participate in the "Incubator" project with television stations, work as real reporters at newspaper offices, participate in communication projects with organizations outside the school... while still in school.

In the process of performing its tasks, the Institute's Party Cell has always received direct and effective attention and guidance from the Party Committee of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. At the same time, the Party Cell and the Institute's Board of Directors always identify political and ideological work as an important and regular task. The Party Cell has led the unit to promote solidarity and political courage in the face of challenges and difficulties, creating consensus and unity in the perception and action of all cadres and Party members for the purpose of building and developing the unit, contributing practically and effectively to the cause of building and developing the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (VNU).
Continuing the motto "Proactive - Creative - Development"”
During the process of construction and development, the Party Committee, the Board of Directors and the entire team of teachers and staff have anticipated the rapid changes of the Fourth Industrial Revolution with its impacts on the field of journalism and communication to find the fastest and most effective adaptation methods. Since then, the Institute of Journalism and Communication has actively transformed its training structure to meet the requirements of the country and the times.
But what is there, what core values must continue to be preserved and promoted? What remains unchanged in the team of Party members of the Institute of Journalism and Communication Training is the desire to seek new realities and new goals. What already exists will be replaced by something new, old ways of doing things, old skills, even research products, training and services that are attractive today may have to change tomorrow according to social needs.
