In the morning of May 23rd, 2013, at Le Van Thiem Hall - 19 Le Thanh Tong, Hanoi, VNU University of Science (VNU-HUS) was in collaboration with the University Network of Southeast Asia (Asian University Network - AUN) to open the ceremony assessment at the program level following the AUN standard - the training program of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Biology.
This was the AUN 18th actual quality assessment at the program level following the AUN-QA (Asian University Network - Quality Assurance) was held at the university member of Viertnam National University, Hanoi and was the second to be held at VNU-HUS from 23 to 25 of May, 2013.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Duy Cam - Rector of VNU-HUS sent the warmest greetings to the assessor team. He emphasized, is a member of Vietnam National University, Hanoi, and is one of the leading universities in Vietnam on training and research of the basic science, VNU University of Science is striving to become an advanced research university in the region.
Therefore, the verification and standardization of undergraduate education programs under international standards is essential, including assessment of the quality of university education program following AUN-QA standard.
In 2012, the Training Program of Bachelor of Science in Chemistry of the University, and the first training program of basic science of Vietnam to take part in the standard external assessment AUN-QA and has achieved high result (it was ranked the first among the programs that were evaluated by AUN in Vietnam and the second in Southeast Asia).
Also in 2012, according to the ranking results of the QS, HUS-VNU has the natural sciences ranked No. 61 and the life sciences and biomedical ranked No. 83.
In 2013, VNU-HUS continues to register for verification 02 training programs of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Biology.
In the meeting that followed the opening session, the assessment teams worked with the Faculty of Mathematics-Mechanics-Informatics and Faculty of Biology: exchanged, interviewed the academics staff, support staff, administrators, students, employers, alumni. The assessment teams also spent time for sightseeing facilities, laboratories, lecture halls, health center and library of university.
After 02 working days, the representative of assessment team presented preliminary conclusions about the training program for Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Biology at the closing session (dated 05/25/2013). The team analyzed the strengths and the points that need to be improved of the 02 programs under the standards of AUN-QA (includes 15 criteria).
