This achievement brings the total number of FIBAA-accredited programs at UEH to 30, marking a significant step forward on its comprehensive internationalization roadmap and its journey to becoming a Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University.

These programs were assessed as fully meeting FIBAA's rigorous standards for training objectives, learning outcomes, curriculum structure, faculty, teaching and assessment methods, practical relevance, and continuous quality assurance, in alignment with European higher education standards.

During FIBAA's external assessment rounds, international expert panels from prestigious European universities conducted on-site surveys, in-depth interviews, and discussions with all relevant stakeholders at UEH, including the leaders of training units, program directors, lecturers, administrative staff, students, alumni, and employers. The evaluation process focused on clarifying the strengths, alignment with learning outcomes, international integration capacity, and relevance to labor market needs of each program.

These programs were assessed as fully meeting FIBAA's rigorous standards regarding training objectives, learning outcomes, curriculum structure, faculty qualifications, teaching-assessment methods, practical relevance, and continuous quality improvement, aligning with European higher education norms, and received full quality certification without any conditions. The international expert panels also provided recommendations for further enhancing the quality of the training programs in the future.

A Journey of Enhancing Quality and Internationalizing Training

Prior to this, as of December 2024, UEH already had 19 training programs recognized with European-standard FIBAA accreditation, spanning both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The addition of 11 more accredited programs in 2025 reflects not only an expansion in scale but also the depth of UEH's strategy for quality assurance and improvement.

In the 2020-2025 period, UEH implemented a comprehensive quality assurance system at both the institutional and program levels, developing modern, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary programs while enhancing the internationalization of its curriculum and teaching methods. Program accreditation has been identified as a mandatory component, serving as both a basis for quality improvement and a testament to the university's accountability and autonomy.

From 2026 onwards, UEH will continue to pursue accreditation for its master's and doctoral programs, while also undertaking re-accreditation for previously certified programs and institutional accreditation in line with its strategic roadmap.

"Achieving 30 FIBAA-accredited training programs is a clear testament to UEH's unwavering efforts to deliver education quality of international standards. This enables our learners to be equipped with the core competencies of global citizens, meeting the demands of the labor market in the context of digital transformation and globalization. This is also a crucial foundation for UEH to continue refining the development, governance, and operation of training programs in line with international benchmarks, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the university and disseminating positive impacts to the community and society," emphasized Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Quang Hung, UEH Acting President.
