Four Vietnamese universities have been recognised for the first time by France’s High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (HCERES) for meeting the international standards.
The four universities are members of the high-quality engineer training programme of Vietnam (PFIEV). They are Hanoi University of Technology, Da Nang University of Technology under the Da Nang University, the University of Technology under the Ho Chi Minh City National University, and the National University of Civil Engineering.
Addressing the ceremony to present the certificates of recognition to the universities on October 17, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Bui Van Ga said that the universities are receiving the certificates in the context of comprehensive reforms to Vietnam’s education and training system.
Vietnam has issued many legal documents to facilitate the self-reliance of schools, he said, adding that quality checks are significant in providing transparent information for students and the relevant parties to accelerate the modernisation and international integration of the schools.
Ga asked the four universities to continue on their path towards self-reliance, while mobilising resources for sustainable growth and effectively expanding their engineer programmes.
HCERES’s criteria of evaluation are strategy and governance, training and scientific research, the training process and vocational integration directions, foreign relations, management, quality and ethics.
The certificate is valid for five years.
