Preliminary Survey of Hanoi Metropolitan University
On the morning of July 8, the external evaluation expert team from Thang Long Center for Education Quality Accreditation conducted a preliminary survey with Hanoi Metropolitan University regarding the external assessment of the University's training programs.
Attending the survey were Dr. Nguyễn Văn Đường, Director of the Thang Long Center for Education Quality Accreditation, along with experts and members of the evaluation team. Representing the university in the working session were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Anh Tuấn, Chairman of the University Council; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Đỗ Hồng Cường, Rector of the University, along with leaders of departments, faculty members, and staff.
In his speech at the survey session, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Anh Tuấn, Chairman of the University Council of Hanoi Metropolitan University, emphasized that education quality accreditation plays a crucial role. It is not only a compliance activity but also a valuable opportunity for the university to review all aspects of its operations—from personnel and teaching staff, training programs, and infrastructure, to student support services and scientific research. This process allows for an objective assessment of both strengths and areas needing improvement, providing the University with a comprehensive and realistic view of its quality. From there, the University can define a sustainable development direction, build a specific roadmap to enhance education quality, and better meet the expectations of society and learners.
