Institutional accreditation
- 21/09/2020
Accreditation is not only a mandatory requirement for Vietnamese educational institutions but also a social responsibility of the university. Therefore, on the morning of July 9th, 2018 Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology welcomed the official representatives and assessors of the Center for Education Accreditation - the University of Danang to conduct the external quality assessment at HUTECH.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quang Giao - Permanent Deputy Director of the Center for Education Accreditation gives his congratulatory speech to HUTECH
The set of education accreditation standards applied to the quality assessment at HUTECH was issued according to the Circular No. 12/2017/TT-BGDDT dated May 19, 2017 of the Ministry of Education and Training, including four areas (Strategic Quality Assurance, Systemic Quality Assurance of System, Functional Quality Assurance, and Outputs), 25 standards and 111 criteria (according to AUN-QA's set of standards). The set of standards ensures a high degree of scientific quality and is based on the principle of total quality management. These criteria have been verified through practical application at higher education institutions within the ASEAN university system. Furthermore, the set of standards is deemed suitable for the Vietnamese context and the international integration trend. HUTECH is proud to be the first university in the country to be accredited according to this new set of standards.
