Recently, International University under the Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) announced it had become the third Vietnamese university to meet university quality assessment at the institutional level under the ASEAN University Network – Quality Assurance (AUN-QA).
Earlier, the University of Science under the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-HN) and the University of Technology under the VNU-HCM gained AUN-QA accreditation.
The AUN-QA network is a group of chief quality officers appointed by the AUN’s member universities to harmonise educational standards and improve the quality of ASEAN universities.
The evaluation is based on 25 criteria and 111 norms, including some relatively new assessment areas for universities in Vietnam such as intellectual property, risk management and community services.
