(\u0110BND) – National Economics University (NEU) identifies ensuring and improving educational quality as its foremost strategic priority. Achieving educational quality accreditation standards set by reputable international organizations is a specific objective in both the short and long term.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking with a reporter from Dai Bieu Nhan Dan newspaper, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong, Vice President of NEU, said: \u201cOver the past year, NEU continued to feature in the overall THE Impact Rankings. In the coming period, the University will continue participating in THE Impact Rankings while preparing to participate in THE World University Ranking and QS.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Achieving Educational Quality Accreditation Standards Set by Reputable International Organizations Is the Goal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reporter:<\/strong> NEU placed in the 101\u2013200 band in the 2022 THE Impact Rankings published by Times Higher Education. What further achievements did the University record in world rankings in 2023? What are NEU\u2019s goals for participating in world rankings in the coming period?<\/em><\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong: <\/strong>It must be emphasized that participating in the THE Impact Rankings published by Times Higher Education is part of NEU\u2019s development strategy to enhance its standing and reputation in the region and worldwide.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong, Vice President of NEU<\/em><\/p>\n

First, we need a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of these rankings. THE University Impact Rankings assess universities against the United Nations\u2019 17 Sustainable Development Goals across four areas: Research, Stewardship, Outreach, and Teaching. Participating universities combine their score for Goal 17 with those for three other goals to calculate their overall score. In addition to the overall rankings, THE also ranks universities against each goal.<\/p>\n

In 2022, NEU participated in these rankings for the first time across four goals: Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions; Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth; Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals; and Goal 1: No Poverty.<\/p>\n

NEU was recognized against the criteria for internal governance and cooperation with regulatory agencies under Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, with a score of 71.8\/100. Its placement in the 101\u2013200 band was also the highest ranking among universities in Vietnam for this goal in 2022.<\/p>\n

In addition to Goal 16, NEU was also highly rated against the criteria under Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, placing in the 201\u2013300 band.<\/p>\n

This result once again highlights the University\u2019s efforts to create a work environment that provides the best possible conditions for the development of its faculty and staff, as well as to provide high-quality human resources for the country. It also contributed to the University\u2019s overall ranking in the 601\u2013800 band.<\/p>\n

In 2023, NEU continued to appear in the overall THE University Impact Ranking, as it had in 2022.<\/p>\n

We hope to spread the values of sustainable development not only within the higher education institution but also more widely throughout the community through research, education, and social responsibility activities.<\/p>\n

In the coming period, the University will continue participating in THE University Impact Rankings while preparing to participate in THE World University Ranking and QS.<\/p>\n

Reporter: NEU is known to be the only university specializing in economics with 19 academic programs meeting international ACBSP accreditation standards, and also the university with the most programs meeting these standards in Vietnam. Could you share the University\u2019s plans and strategies for achieving this result?<\/em><\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong: To achieve these results in academic program quality accreditation in general, and accreditation under ACBSP standards in particular, NEU developed a strategic plan for educational quality assurance and quality accreditation.<\/p>\n

First, in terms of strategic objectives, we identify ensuring and improving educational quality as our top priority. Achieving educational quality accreditation standards set by reputable international organizations is a consistent objective in both the short and long term.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

NEU Library<\/em><\/p>\n

To achieve this objective, the University sets specific objectives, measures, and criteria for quality assurance and improvement across its activities, including the delivery of education, scientific research, the provision of financial resources and facilities, campus landscaping and environmental maintenance, educational support, student support, and community engagement.<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s leadership directed the implementation of academic program quality accreditation under ACBSP (United States) standards beginning in 2017.<\/p>\n

In 2022, following a journey marked by considerable effort and strong determination from administrators, lecturers, students, and alumni, 11 academic programs were accredited. In 2023, an additional eight academic programs were accredited under ACBSP standards.<\/p>\n

Alongside academic program accreditation under the United States\u2019 ACBSP standards, the University is pursuing accreditation for 15 academic programs under FIBAA (Switzerland) standards, while 16 academic programs have met the standards issued under Circular No. 04\/2016\/TT-BGD\u0110T. NEU is demonstrating that its strategic approach to educational quality assurance and quality accreditation is appropriate and meets the University\u2019s overall objectives.<\/p>\n

In addition to continuing academic program quality accreditation under domestic and international standards, in 2024 we will gradually implement institutional quality accreditation under the standards of AACSB, United States. This is the world\u2019s most reputable institutional accreditation organization in economics and business administration.<\/p>\n

These achievements in international accreditation can be attributed not only to the decisive direction of the Party Committee and University Council and the determination of the University\u2019s leadership, but also to the committed and coordinated participation of organizations, units, and public employees throughout the University.<\/p>\n

Improving Educational Quality Is the Core Factor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reporter: What investments do universities need to make to gain regional or international recognition of the quality of their academic programs?<\/em><\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong: First, it must be emphasized that accreditation organizations, whether in Vietnam or other countries, share common principles of university governance and educational quality assurance and improvement. NEU therefore identifies investment in educational quality assurance and improvement as the core factor determining success in educational quality accreditation.<\/p>\n

Next, pursuing quality accreditation under the standards of international organizations such as ACBSP or FIBAA involves conducting self-assessments and providing the necessary evidence to demonstrate compliance with their quality standards. This requires determination and consistency in each university\u2019s direction and management.<\/p>\n

We believe that managing the University\u2019s activities requires a quality assurance and improvement perspective on university governance, system-level educational quality assurance, quality assurance for functional activities, and quality assurance for the University\u2019s outcomes.<\/p>\n

Reporter: How many academic programs does the University currently offer? What is its educational strategy for the coming period to maintain its position as one of Vietnam\u2019s leading institutions with a key role in economics education?<\/em><\/p>\n

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong: At the undergraduate level, the University currently offers 37 standard programs taught in Vietnamese, seven Profession-Oriented Higher Education (POHE) programs, and 16 programs taught in English. In addition, the University offers advanced programs and high-quality programs.<\/p>\n

In the coming period, the University plans to explore introducing several new fields of study, including data science, artificial intelligence, software engineering, information systems, information security, and labor relations.<\/p>\n

In its development strategy, the University always prioritizes quality assurance to help maintain its position as one of Vietnam\u2019s leading institutions with a key role in education in economics, management, and business administration. The University will continue to step up implementation of the following groups of measures:<\/p>\n

First<\/em>, ensure and improve educational quality by improving the quality of admissions and the organization of academic delivery, with particular attention to reviewing and improving educational quality through innovations in teaching models and methods, as well as testing and assessment methods. The University has been actively implementing the lecture\/seminar teaching model.<\/p>\n

Second,<\/em> expand the application of information technology across all University activities, with an emphasis on a systematic approach to governance, and complete the smart classroom system and the monitoring system incorporating artificial intelligence technology.<\/p>\n

Third,<\/em> continue to improve the quality of public employees and other staff, particularly lecturers and researchers, through recruitment, training, professional development, and compensation policies. The University recruits only lecturers who have undertaken further study in countries with developed education systems; it also sends them back to developed countries annually for further professional development and to enhance their professional capabilities.<\/p>\n

Fourth,<\/em> the University actively upgrades its facilities, strengthens its financial capacity, and improves support services for teaching and learning. It prioritizes upgrading the Library and databases, treating this as a core activity to create the best possible conditions for teaching, learning, and scientific research.<\/p>\n

Fifth,<\/em> develop and refine the internal quality assurance system, including policies, strategies, organizational structure, regulations, procedures, and personnel responsible for quality assurance and educational quality accreditation.<\/p>\n

Sixth,<\/em> continue to develop and enhance the activities of the network of alumni, former learners, and PhD candidates. Actively engage with and contribute to the community, treating this as a driving force for the University’s development.<\/p>\n
