Speaking at the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu, Vice President, affirmed that the School of Business Administration is highly regarded for the quality of its education across many fields, including master’s education in Business Administration through its Vietnamese-taught Master of Business Administration (V-MBA) and English-taught Master of Business Administration (E-MBA) programs. In particular, the E-MBA program is one of the most outstanding English-taught postgraduate programs, not only at NEU but also across Hanoi and Vietnam. Over its 30-year history, the School of Business Administration has drawn on and combined the best elements of academic programs from renowned universities worldwide, such as Boise State University and Andrews University in the United States, as well as programs from Sweden and the United Kingdom—countries offering some of the world’s most advanced education.

On behalf of the University leadership, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu also warmly congratulated the 61 new master’s graduates on the efforts and dedication that had brought them to the graduation ceremony. Addressing the graduates, the Vice President emphasized: “Today’s graduation ceremony is a testament to your efforts and hard work over the past two years. Our success today marks the beginning of further progress in the future. I hope that you will continue to build on the knowledge and skills gained at the School of Business Administration, NEU, and apply them successfully in your work and lives. NEU hopes that alumni of the University in general and the School of Business Administration in particular will always succeed in leadership positions at the organizations where you work.” The Vice President also expressed confidence that the graduates would apply and build on the knowledge they had acquired in real life, becoming Business Administration experts, talented leaders of corporations and businesses, or entrepreneurs pursuing their own ventures.
