Exchange of experiences on quality assurance assessment among universities.

The meeting was attended by representatives from the Cooperation and Development Department and the Training Quality Assurance Center. The purpose of the meeting was to exchange and learn from experiences in implementing quality assessment and accreditation activities at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Associate Professor Tran Thi Minh Hoa shared a lot of information and the results the University has achieved in accreditation and quality assurance over the past period. The University is one of the first universities to participate in quality accreditation according to the standards of the Ministry of Education and Training. The University is a leader in accreditation and quality assurance with 91% of the criteria meeting the Ministry's standards. The University has 3 undergraduate programs accredited according to AUN-QA standards: Linguistics, Oriental Studies, and Philosophy. It is expected that by 2020, the University will complete the entire plan for accreditation of undergraduate programs. Of these, 1/3 of the programs will be evaluated according to the AUN-QA standards. Accreditation has become a regular activity to improve the quality of training programs towards meeting regional and international standards; thereby contributing to the formation of a culture of quality in the University's activities. Vice Rector Tran Thi Minh Hoa also expressed her desire to establish cooperative relationships with universities both domestically and internationally in the field of accreditation and quality assurance.
