Four first universities of Vietnam have been recognised by France’s High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (HCERES) for meeting international standards.
The four universities receiving HCERES certificates are members of the high-quality engineer training programme of Vietnam (PFIEV), including: Hanoi University of Technology, Da Nang University of Technology under the Da Nang University, The University of Technology under the Ho Chi Minh City National University, and the National University of Civil Engineering.
HCERES’s criteria of evaluation are strategy and governance, training and scientific research, training process and vocational integration orientation, foreign relations, management, quality and ethics. The certificate is valid for five years.
According to the Deputy Minister of Education and Training, these universities receive the certificates in the context that Vietnam’s education system is under comprehensive reform. These certificates are, therefore, of significant importance for the universities to provide transparent information for students and partners to speed up their modernisation and international integration.
