Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Hong Sinh, a member of the Delegation, emphasized: in terms of training program design and implementation, all three training programs demonstrate many strengths: general and specific goals are determined in accordance with the mission and vision of the University and in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Higher Education, regulations and rules of VNU; The goals of the training program have been specifically determined, updated regularly (latest in 2023) and widely disseminated to learners on the University's communication channels. The University has a team of highly qualified and dedicated lecturers and researchers, who are regularly facilitated and encouraged by the University to improve their qualifications and professional capacity, and update modern teaching and learning methods. Regarding facilities and support for learners, the Report emphasized: Although the campus at 336 Nguyen Trai is still modest in area, the University has tried its best to arrange a system of airy lecture halls, dedicating a significant part of the space for self-study and rest of students; the office area for staff and lecturers is green, beautifully decorated, and friendly. In particular, the Library Information Practice Room of the Faculty of Information - Library is invested in modern equipment, which is a model for all training institutions in Vietnam to learn from, not just VNU. The University has a clear strategy in accompanying and supporting learners: managing and monitoring progress in learning, training, implementing consulting activities, extracurricular activities and support services to improve learners' learning. There are policies to encourage and invest in scientific research, the rate of students doing scientific research and publishing domestically and internationally is very high compared to other training institutions. In addition to the achievements, the report also proposes some recommendations: In designing training programs, it is necessary to establish common goals that clearly reflect the identity of each training program and of the learners, diversify the forms of assessment and evaluation, there should be effective measures to attract the interest and participation of learners in extracurricular activities of the Faculty/School, a specialized psychological counseling unit should be established at the School, and the database of textbooks and learning materials should be updated for learners to refer to.
Finally, on behalf of the External Evaluation Team, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thi Hong - Head of the Team presented the conclusion of the Report, emphasizing: The University of Social Sciences and Humanities is one of the leading training institutions with a long tradition and prestige in Vietnam in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities, especially always a pioneer in quality assessment. To achieve that position, the University has promoted the common resources in the VNU system to serve learners; the Board of Directors is dedicated and closely follows the work of quality assessment; the teaching staff is enthusiastic, loves their profession and the school; the learners are very dynamic and creative. To help improve the quality of training programs, the Evaluation Team hopes that in the coming time, the School needs to have a plan to review and ensure the systematicity and appropriate compatibility of the training program's learning outcomes, teaching and assessment activities in each subject and between subjects contributing to the achievement of the training program's learning outcomes, which must meet the labor market; Strengthen training and foster soft skills for learners; Diversify forms of collecting feedback from stakeholders (especially alumni and employers) in the process of building and improving training programs.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, lecturers and students of the University, Principal Hoang Anh Tuan expressed his deep gratitude to the Evaluation Team for their encouragement and recognition of the achievements of the University in the fields of training, scientific research and community service.
