Dr. Dinh Hoang Bach, the head of International Cooperation, Research & Training Institute of TDTU, delivered the Welcome Speech. He greatly appreciated AUN-QA Standards which provide a sound basis for the comprehensive appraisal of the University’s training programs, especially in relation to input-process-output standards, curriculum frameworks, lecturers, students, facilities, quality assurance tasks, and linkages with enterprises.

In 2019 and at the beginning of 2021, TDTU had 8 programs successfully assessed and recognized by AUN-QA.

On behalf of AUN-QA and assessor team, Prof. Dr. Anel Onesimo O. Uy, Lead Assessor of AUN Council made opening remarks and thanked TDTU’s leaders, academic staff, support staff and students, especially 3 programs under this assessment.

Prof. Dr. Anel Onesimo O. Uy emphasized that the 236th online AUN-QA assessment would last from 27 September 2021 to 1 October 2021. AUN-QA assessors would work with TDTU and programs to help the University and programs be aware of the strengths, weaknesses and give recommendations for quality improvement of the programs.
