Implementing a new process for organizing thesis and project defenses: Streamlined, professional, and student-centered.

The Faculty of Information and Library Science was the first unit selected by the University to pilot this process, with a centralized thesis defense format in Building E. The arrangement of a centralized defense space, with standardized facilities and technical equipment, ensures a dignified and professional atmosphere while also facilitating the thesis defense process for students.

Student Nguyen My Linh defended her thesis in room 302, building E.

The first two students to defend their projects and theses under the new procedure were Nguyen My Linh and Duong Thi Huong Giang, both majoring in Information Science and Library Science. Sharing their thoughts after the defense, the students expressed their satisfaction and thanked the Faculty and the University for the streamlined organization, the spacious and beautiful auditorium, as well as the dedicated and thoughtful support from the faculty and staff.

Furthermore, the thesis defense committee members also expressed strong agreement with the new implementation method. According to the professors, organizing the thesis defense in a streamlined manner helps standardize the academic environment, reduce organizational pressure on students, and allow the committee to focus more on scientific content, research quality, and academic exchange. This approach not only enhances the seriousness and professionalism of the defense but also contributes to ensuring fairness, transparency, and consistency in thesis evaluation.

Speaking at the thesis defense, Dr. Dinh Tien Hieu – Head of the Training and Student Affairs Department – ​​stated that these were the first students to defend their theses under the university's new organizational procedure. In the future, the university will continue to monitor, evaluate, and test this model in practice, gradually refining it to better support students, placing them at the center of learning, and continuously improving the quality of postgraduate education.The changes to the thesis defense process reflect the University of Social Sciences and Humanities' efforts to innovate in training management, aiming for professionalism, transparency, and efficiency. These changes will continue to be flexibly adjusted to suit practical conditions and the needs of students in the future.
