He highly appreciated the efforts and contributions of the coordinators, specialists and collaborators of the program in coordinating teaching and learning activities, and supporting activities in the past years.

“We hope to continue to receive the valuable and effective cooperation of the lecturers and colleagues so that together we can provide higher quality human resources for society,” he said.

Currently, the university’s postgraduate training has five doctoral programmes and 12 master’s programmes and many joint programmes with foreign educational institutions from Belgium, Australia, Germany and France at both master's and doctoral levels.

Most of the university’s domestic postgraduate training programmes are accredited according to FIBAA standards (Europe) and domestic standards of the Ministry of Education and Training. — VNS
