Adjusting and strengthening elective subjects of knowledge blocks M3, M4, M5

At the recent 2017 conference summarizing training activities of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, one of the conclusions that delegates highly agreed upon was the need to increase the connectivity between training majors in the school. This is also a common trend of universities in the world today, aiming not only to ensure the foundation of industry knowledge so that students have enough capacity to work after graduation but also to create opportunities for students to access and expand their background knowledge in related majors. They also have more advantages in studying for a double degree or studying ahead to shorten training time and increase job opportunities. In addition, increasing connectivity also makes training programs more flexible, open and creates more favorable conditions for organization and management.

Vice Principal Hoang Anh Tuan chaired a meeting to discuss adjusting elective subjects in knowledge blocks M3, M4, M5 of the training program.

The School's leaders presented the basic orientation to increase the connectivity of the training programs with the general spirit of adjusting the elective subjects of the M3, M4, M5 knowledge blocks. The core subjects of the compulsory knowledge block of the major are kept intact to ensure the identity of the major. In addition, the faculties will consider and select subjects from related majors that are necessary and suitable for their majors to add to the elective knowledge block of the training program. This elective part will not exceed 15% of the total volume of the training program. The School's training management department will support the faculties in consulting and technical aspects so that this adjustment is in accordance with the regulations and general policies of the School. On the basis of increasing the number of elective subjects, the School will deploy for students to choose subjects according to their needs and career orientation.

Vice Principal Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized that this is not a major adjustment and does not cause much disruption to the overall training program, so the school will strive to complete this work soon so that these changes can be effective immediately for the new class of students this year. At the meeting, representatives of the faculties exchanged opinions and proposed to the school leaders solutions to implement this policy in practice.
