Speaking at the opening ceremony for the seventh intake in 2025, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong, President of NEU, congratulated and welcomed the 400 new learners as they officially joined the NEU E-Learning program. He affirmed that this was an important milestone as the learners joined Vietnam’s leading university in economics, management, and business administration.

According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong, over nearly 70 years of development, NEU has established itself as a reputable national center for education, research, and policy consulting. Under its new development strategy, the University aims to become one of Vietnam’s five leading multidisciplinary research universities and rank among Asia’s top 100 universities in economics, management, and business administration.

Recently, the University was honored to receive institutional quality accreditation from FIBAA, an international education quality accreditation organization. FIBAA is one of Europe’s leading accreditation organizations and a member of ENQA and INQAAHE. This recognition helps affirm the University’s reputation and the quality of its education and research on the international stage.

Emphasizing the role of digital transformation in education, the President affirmed that the distance education program delivered through E-learning is a strategic step in the University’s educational innovation process and puts its “learner-centered” philosophy into practice. With a modern, flexible, and user-friendly online learning system, NEU provides a quality learning environment that enables learners to choose when and where they study, making it particularly suitable for working professionals and learners living far away.

According to the President, applying information technology in teaching and learning is no longer a trend but an essential requirement. It helps improve educational quality and expand access to knowledge for everyone, anytime and anywhere, in keeping with the spirit of a university pioneering digital transformation in education.

On this occasion, NEU’s leadership expressed gratitude to the faculty and staff and the partners who have supported the program, while thanking the new learners and their families for trusting and choosing NEU E-Learning as a companion on their journey to acquire knowledge and pursue personal development.

New student Ha Hong Gam delivers remarks

Speaking at the meaningful opening ceremony, new student Ha Hong Gam expressed her joy and pride in officially becoming a student at NEU—a university that she and many of her fellow students have always regarded as a dream and a goal to strive for.

Ha Hong Gam said that this course holds particular significance as it is linked to the milestones of the University’s 70th anniversary and the Center for Distance Education’s 20th anniversary. “We are always proud to study in a dynamic, professional, and modern environment—one that has nurtured so many generations of students as they have grown and achieved success,” Hong Gam shared.

The new student also expressed her excitement about experiencing a flexible online learning format suited to those combining work and study. Being able to arrange their own study times and locations helps learners develop independent learning habits, while the dedicated support of lecturers and administrative staff provides reassurance and inspiration throughout their studies.

“We understand that the road ahead will bring many challenges, but with initiative, discipline, and determination, we will strive to overcome them and balance work and study, so that we can be worthy students of NEU—a university with a mission to create knowledge and move confidently toward the future,” Ha Hong Gam affirmed.
