On June 3, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) held the Opening Ceremony for the official external evaluation of three Master's degree programs: Automotive Engineering, Finance and Banking, and Veterinary Medicine. The evaluation is conducted in accordance with the program quality assessment standards issued by the Ministry of Education and Training under Circular No. 04/2025/TT-BGDĐT.
The official opening ceremony took place on June 3 at Saigon Campus
In her opening remarks, Dr. Ly Thien Trang, Vice President of HUTECH, expressed her appreciation to the Center for Education Accreditation of Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City and the external evaluation team for their support throughout the quality assessment process. She emphasized that accreditation is not only a recognition of a program's compliance with quality standards but also an opportunity for the University to review its operations, pursue continuous improvement, and further enhance the quality of education and research.
Dr. Ly Thien Trang emphasized that quality accreditation serves as a driving force for continuous improvement
According to Dr. Ly Thien Trang, HUTECH implemented an ISO-based quality management system in 2007 and has continuously strengthened its internal quality assurance framework. To date, the University has successfully completed two cycles of institutional accreditation under the standards of the Ministry of Education and Training. It has also achieved domestic accreditation for 20 academic programs, AUN-QA accreditation for 14 programs, and FIBAA accreditation for four programs, while many others are currently participating in international evaluation and accreditation activities.
Representing the external evaluation team, Dr. Nguyen Quoc Chinh, Director of the Center for Testing and Quality Assessment of Training at Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City and Head of the External Evaluation Team, noted that the evaluation takes place at a time when higher education institutions are increasingly focusing on quality assurance, international integration, and strengthening their capacity for self-assessment through internal quality assurance systems.
He shared, “Over the next four days, the University and the external evaluation team will work closely together to carry out site visits and assessment activities in accordance with the latest requirements for quality assurance and enhancement. The external evaluation team is committed to fulfilling its responsibilities with objectivity, accuracy, and effectiveness. Both the University and the external evaluation team share the same overarching goal of continuously improving the quality of education.”
