Conference on implementing the planning of training sectors and majors for the period 2014-2020. University of Social Sciences and Humanities took place on June 11, with the participation of heads of units. Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Van Kim (Vice Rector) chaired the Conference.
At the Conference, delegates listened to Dr. Tran Ngoc Lieu (Head of Training Department) present the plan for the school's industry and major planning.
Accordingly, the continued development and planning of training majors and specialties is identified as a key task in the coming period of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. The school advocates maintaining, consolidating and developing basic science majors and specialties as traditional scientific fields, while taking advantage of existing resources and investing in new resources in an appropriate roadmap to develop majors and specialties that combine theory and practice and highly practical majors. As a multidisciplinary training institution, the training programs have a high degree of interconnectivity between majors and training levels - this is an advantage in the development and planning of majors and specialties.
The planning of majors and specializations is implemented according to the following principles: building new majors/specializations with high social demand; ensuring systematicity and connectivity between training programs at all levels; prioritizing the building of majors/specializations that are interdisciplinary, unique and promote the strengths of the units; consistent with the overall planning in training, the plan for developing majors/specializations and the development strategy of the School and VNU; playing a pioneering pilot role for the Vietnamese education system; associated with investment and development of conditions to ensure quality; promoting the effectiveness of international cooperation in program development and training organization.
At the Conference, opinions expressed the need to review and evaluate the current status of training sectors and majors, as well as the conditions for ensuring quality in each unit. On that basis, the units will develop a project to develop the sector and major based on their strengths and development strategies, thereby building a general plan for the whole school. The Project Steering Committee will be established with the participation of representatives of relevant units and functional departments.
