At Hoa Sen University, the percentage of students who have a job before graduation has always reached over 83% continuously for many years.

According to the latest statistics, the rate of new graduates of Hoa Sen University having a job before the 35th graduation ceremony (January 2020) is very high, programs with a 100% employment rate are Management Information Systems, Media Production and Management, and Applied Mathematics.

Solving unemployment problem

Many programs with very high employment rates are Finance and Banking (95.7%), Restaurant Management (95.5%), International Business (94.3%), Hotel Management (94.1%), Information Technology (93.8%), and Marketing (92.3%).

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Dien, President of Hoa Sen University said: “In order to get this result, the university implemented many measures, including two large groups of measures. Firstly, the university constantly promotes connection and cooperation with businesses in general and also with employers in the design as well as in updating and perfecting the content of the academic programs according to the HSU’s direction to meet social needs. Secondly, the university builds and develops high-quality academic programs, taught in English, with international output standards. These programs are considered as a strong base to bring learners into the global working environment in the sense of dedication and conquering�?

Hoa Sen University has a team of highly qualified lecturers, advanced teaching methods, and a lot of practical experience. Throughout the process of developing an academic program, establishing a new program, developing a course outline, etc., there are consultations and criticisms from experienced business partners. Most of the specialized courses have visiting lecturers who are currently holding management positions and holding high degrees in large companies and enterprises.

Every year, each faculty with different major groups of HSU organizes seminars, and workshops with businesses and alumni to exchange and listen to comments on market needs and working capacity requirements in careers. Students have 2 internships at enterprises, including 1 work experience internship in the second year and 1 graduation internship.

Nguyen Thi Ngoc Bich, an alumnus of the Environmental and Natural Resources Management Program (The class of 2014), is currently Deputy Head of the Office of Consulting and Technology Transfer, Envi-School Environmental Training and Consulting Co., Ltd. said: “My knowledge that I learned at Hoa Sen University has equipped me with many necessary skills and opportunities to practice through each internship period at the company. This not only helps me quickly integrate into the real environment but also meets the strict requirements of the business.”

“Hoa Sen University is an ideal environment for each student to experience meaningful youth. Students are equipped with useful knowledge from modern liberal education and create the best conditions for comprehensive development�? said Tran Thi Bao Trinh (a student in the English Language Studies Program at Hoa Sen University).

Besides that, at Hoa Sen University, students are also encouraged to join clubs or organize competitions to accumulate experience and maximize the capacity and interests of each individual. HSU’s students regularly participate in student exchange programs with universities in France, Thailand, Belgium, Finland, etc. to help improve their foreign language skills and integrate into a multicultural international environment.

This explains why Hoa Sen’s students always have a prominent advantage to employers, with good specialized knowledge, soft skills, and fluent in foreign languages. The program follows the credit system that allows students to design their own learning routes to shorten the time and the opportunity to receive 2 university degrees at the same time.

Building a smart-university

Hoa Sen University focused on “digital transformation” in administration and operation a few years ago. The first ERP system is applied in training, student management and other operational management processes are being implemented gradually. Hoa Sen University is taking the first solid steps in the digital transformation of university operations and administration.

Currently, Hoa Sen University is gradually improving its computer software for teaching and learning.

The university is implementing many e-learning classes and “blended learning�?(integrated learning methods between in-person class and online class). According to the roadmap, all programs have a certain number of appropriate courses organized in these forms. The university is also implementing artificial intelligence in teaching and learning as well as in university operations.

Learning outcomes assessment methods as well as feedback and internal information from all courses in the university can be implemented via mobile apps.

With the strength of a multidisciplinary university, in 2019, Hoa Sen University started implementing a research project on STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Art, Math) applied in higher education and the community. This will be a contribution in terms of the practical application of Hoa Sen University in preparing for the young generation to be ready to adapt to the new stage of development.

The paper discusses the research findings related to quality assurance for academic programs. The author has proposed a quality assurance process that can be applied to Hue University by outlining the key concepts of quality assurance, expected learning outcomes, program assessment by AUN-QA (ASEAN Universities Network – Quality Assurance) as well as assessing the current state of academic programs. The proposed process includes quality assurance of learning outcomes, input and output, process, and stakeholders’ needs. This is essential for the implementation of program quality assurance during the integration stage and for faculties/ departments to use when developing or revising academic programs and courses. The research findings are expected to provide valuable guidance to managers and lecturers in their work.

The implementation of a credit-based education system is a crucial step for Vietnamese higher education to meet global standards. This system requires students to take an active role in their studies. However, in practice, many students face challenges in determining their academic direction. Therefore, academic advisors at universities need to have the necessary counseling skills to guide students in selecting their learning style, learning process, academic subjects, study techniques, and graduation timeline based on each student’s capabilities, enabling them to maximize their potential and achieve optimal academic outcomes.

One effective approach to course design is to start by defining the learning objectives. These are concise statements that describe what students will be able to do once they have completed the course. Learning objectives are crucial because they give students a clear purpose to guide their learning efforts, help lecturers in choosing appropriate instructional activities, and guide the assessment strategies of the lecturer. Writing good learning objectives can be challenging because they must be observable and measurable. Therefore, it is important for the lecturer to plot each objective on the taxonomy table, matching each learning objective with the appropriate cognitive process and type of knowledge.

Assessment is an integral part of instruction, as it determines whether or not the goals of education are being met. It is a both way approach, for students can know how they achieve each goal for each subject they learn and lecturers know whether their teaching method or approach is working effectively to reach learning objectives of the subject that they teach. It is, therefore, essential that lecturers learn the significance of classroom assessment, a variety of classroom assessment techniques, and student assessment so as to help them improve instruction and student learning.

This is the perspective of the National Assembly Committee for Culture, Education, Youth, Adolescents, and Children on university autonomy.

On September 12, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly continued to give opinions on the Higher Education Law.

The majority of Standing Committee members evaluated the Higher Education Law project as having undergone significant revisions.

The Law project ensures that it can be passed at the 6th session of the 14th National Assembly.

On some specific issues, the National Assembly Committee for Culture, Education, Youth, Adolescents and Children has given their assessment feedback in the appraisal report.

Regarding university autonomy, Chairman Phan Thanh Bình emphasized that the opinion of the delegates suggested specifying the content, level, roadmap, and conditions to ensure the implementation of autonomy rights in all aspects of academics, finance, organization, and personnel linked to accountability and innovation in university governance in accordance with the conditions and capabilities of each higher education institution; enhance accreditation and publicize of academic quality.

Amend related legal regulations to create unity and synchrony in implementing university autonomy substantively.

After considering the delegates’ opinions, the draft Law has been revised to provide a clearer definition of autonomy. Autonomy is the right of a higher education institution to determine its own goals and choose the methods to achieve them. This includes the ability to operate independently, take responsibility for professional activities, and manage personnel, finances, assets, and other activities in accordance with legal regulations and the capacity of the institution.

At the same time, Article 32 about the autonomy and accountability of higher education institutions was edited to specify the conditions for autonomy.

Specifying the content of autonomy in academic expertise, organization, personnel, finance, and assets as well as detailing the content of accountability and requirements for higher education institutions when implementing autonomy.

Regarding accountability, the draft Law has been edited to clearly define the concept of accountability.

Specify the contents that the institution must publicly disclose, and be transparent with students, society, regulatory agencies, and related stakeholders.

Especially the responsibility to perform independent financial audits, publicize quality, tuition fees, service charges of the institution, be legally responsible if failing to implement the regulations, and commitments to ensure academic quality.

The draft Law stipulates that to be granted autonomy, the institution must achieve accreditation from a government-recognized organization.

Delegates requested clear legal positioning of the University Council; clarify the functions, duties, powers, responsibilities, and the relationship between the University Council and other governances.

Regulate the structure of the Council members, and the standards for the Council Chairman and the University President in an open, flexible manner to select many candidates with sufficient capacity and prestige.

After considering the delegates’ feedback, the draft Law has been edited to unify the name of the University Council in both public and private institutions; and distinguish the University Council from the University Board.

The University Council implements institution governance through specific responsibilities and powers.

The University President executes the right to manage and operate the institution based on legal regulations and the resolutions of the University Council, under the supervision of this body.

Contents about the term, working principles, structure, and proportion of the University Council members; standards, functions, and duties of the Council Chairman as well as the requirements for ensuring the operation of the University Council, the specific powers, and responsibilities of the President and more have all been mentioned very detailed, specific and suitable for the nature of each type of institution as presented in the draft Law.

To facilitate attracting many capable and dedicated candidates to participate in the governance and management of higher education institutions, the draft Law does not specify in detail the standards, age, and consecutive terms of the positions of the Council Chairman and President but leaves it to the institution to autonomously decide according to its organization and operation regulations based on the general legal regulations.

The University Board is responsible for the orientation and coordination to implement the mission of the whole system and participate in the process of key university-level personnel.

National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan evaluated that the draft of the Higher Education Law has incorporated and adjusted the feedback from the delegates.

Some opinions are still concerned about the model of the higher education institution system.

The opinion of the review agency uniformly and coherently regulates the model of the higher education institution system including universities, and university schools.

This opinion does not reflect the reality of the current model of the higher education institution system. The National Assembly Chairwoman believes that this proposal should be considered further in the following aspects.

Current universities include National Universities, regional universities, universities, and academies.

Regarding National Universities, Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan affirmed: “My viewpoint is to raise the position, role of the 2 National Universities in this law rather than diminish.

But how to mention regional universities in this Law, what regulations to make to avoid major disruptions in the current model of education institutions”.

Regarding university autonomy, the National Assembly Chairwoman assessed that the draft has focused more on specifying the content, level, roadmap, and conditions to ensure the implementation of the autonomy rights of higher education institutions in academics, finance, and personnel.

The model of National Universities and regional universities continues to be affirmed in this draft law, but there are no regulations on the autonomy of departments, institutes, centers, and members of National Universities and regional universities.

“The major issue in the model of National Universities and regional universities is the legal relationship and autonomy of the member universities. It needs to be clearly regulated in this law,�?the Chairwoman said.

According to the Chairwoman, regarding governance, the law gives too much power to the University Council, effectively making this body a powerful authority �?too powerful.

Such regulation turns the University Council into a management body, failing to clarify the role and responsibilities of the President.

“Therefore, to ensure the authority of the University Council but also to ensure the rights and responsibilities of the President in managing institution operations, it is necessary to more clearly define what the authority of the University Council is, and what the President’s rights are?�? Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan analyzed.

The Chairwoman added the governance model of private universities needs further clarification on how the governance model of private universities differs from that of non-profit private universities.
