HÀ NỘI — The Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) handed over a certificate to the National Economics University (NEU) and 15 training programmes of the university for meeting its educational institution quality standards, at a ceremony in Hà Nội on Thursday.

NEU is one of the first universities in Việt Nam to complete FIBAA’s quality accreditation process, meeting and exceeding 100 per cent of the required standards, and also to complete the foundation's quality accreditation process with 100 per cent of criteria meeting and exceeding standards.
