At the conference, delegates heard MSc. Bui Duc Dung, Head of the Department of General Affairs, present the report reviewing third-quarter work and setting out key tasks for the fourth quarter of 2024. According to the report, under the close direction of the Party Committee and the NEU Board of Presidents, the key tasks for the third quarter of 2024 had largely been completed. Highlights included the successful series of admissions activities and the announcement of official admission results for full-time undergraduate programs across all admission review methods, with more than 8,000 students enrolling. A synchronized University-wide timetable was developed and published for the fall 2024 semester, with the difference in teaching schedules between the new cohort and earlier cohorts expected to decrease to just two weeks…

The University’s Journal of Economics and Development was honored with inclusion in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), a significant step contributing to NEU’s strategy to internationalize its image.

The University continued to advance information technology applications and digital transformation through the implementation of the Cyber work project—work management software. Testing and quality assurance also continued to receive attention, with the University concluding its work with the external evaluation team assessing 15 academic programs against FIBAA standards. Repairs and renovations to facilities continued according to plan, preparing the best possible conditions for the launch of a new academic program in cooperation with Andrews University, USA…
