On behalf of the University’s faculty and staff, Assoc.

Throughout that time, NEU has affirmed its standing as one of the leading universities. As an autonomous public university, it has been implementing a development strategy with the vision of “becoming one of the five leading multidisciplinary research universities in Vietnam and one of the 100 leading universities in Asia in economics, management, and business administration.”

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong also shared that the education quality accreditation organization FIBAA had recently recognized and awarded institutional quality accreditation to NEU.

It accredits, evaluates, and develops educational organizations and programs worldwide in the social sciences and humanities, law, management, and economics. FIBAA is also a member of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) and the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE)…

Reflecting on its development, Assoc. Prof. Bui Huy Nhuong said that in 2006, in line with global educational development trends, NEU established the Center for Distance Education to deliver and develop E-Learning distance education offerings. Over the 17 years since its establishment, the Center for Distance Education has taken pride in pioneering the application of advanced technology in higher education, fulfilling the noble mission of ensuring that “Everyone has opportunities for learning and lifelong learning.”

The Vice President also affirmed that, guided by the principle of “Putting learners at the center,” students would have access to today’s most advanced learning methods, enabling them to take an active role in their studies. The University’s highly qualified and experienced lecturers and academic management staff would always support and accompany them throughout their studies. “I believe that the NEU-Elearning program will deliver genuine value to you, helping you build your path to future success.”

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Doan Xuan Hau, Deputy Director of the Center for Distance Education, announces the Decision on admission.
