In August 2018, during the 116th assessment of the AUN organization, all four initial programs evaluated were found to meet international quality standards in accordance with AUN-QA standards. IUH distinguished itself as the first university under the Ministry of Industry and Trade to attain such standards. Notably, it was the sole university at that juncture where every participating training program in the accreditation process not only met but exceeded the established standards, earning high praise from the delegation.
Representing the university, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Huynh Trung Hieu conveyed heartfelt appreciation to AUN-QA for its support throughout the evaluation process. "Since our initial assessment in 2018, we've implemented a targeted quality assurance strategy encompassing both curriculum and institutional aspects. The genuine feedback from the assessors has proven instrumental in enhancing our programs, contributing to numerous successes in accreditation and the ranking of educational institutions. The university is equally honored to host observers during this assessment."
