They met 18 standards of training quality, earning the highest scores among the 65 programmes that have undergone AUN-QA examination in Viet Nam.

By having its programmes tested under AUN-QA standards, the city-based university wants to renew its commitment to ensuring training quality.

Speaking at the granting ceremony, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Bui Van Ga highly valued the university’s achievements, stressing that personnel training is critical to national development.

Quality verification is compulsory for all universities to standardise their training and research activities.  It is also important to publicise their training quality so that those who want to pursue higher education can choose a suitable university for them, he added.

The Da Nang University of Science and Technology plans to register for AUN-QA verification of 7 other training programmes in 2018.
