Currently, 53.6% of the Bachelor's training programs of VNU member schools have been accredited, of which international accreditation accounts for 30% of the total. These are remarkable figures, demonstrating the university's continuous efforts in improving training quality, consolidating the position and standing of VNU member universities in the national and regional higher education system.
To fulfill this mission, VNU organizes the Opening Ceremony of External Evaluation of 04 training programs, marking an important milestone in the continuous effort to achieve excellence in education.”
According to Dr. Nghiem Xuan Huy, when complying with AUN-QA educational accreditation standards, important aspects of the training program such as: program objectives and expected learning outcomes, teaching content, pedagogical methods, assessment methods, quality assurance activities, lecturers and students, facilities and student support, etc. will be evaluated and proposed for improvement. This evaluation process is a valuable opportunity for VNU to receive international comments and experiences from educational experts from leading universities in the region.
The feedback from AUN-QA experts on the training programs will help VNU member schools identify the strengths and weaknesses of the evaluated programs, as well as opportunities to improve the overall training quality at VNU. In particular, the results of this process will help improve the competitiveness of VNU students in the labor market, while contributing positively to broader social development.
