The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) of Vietnam has officially authorized three foreign educational accreditation organizations to conduct operations and quality assurance assessments within the country.
The decision, signed by Deputy Minister Hoang Minh Son on June 16, marks the first time that international quality assurance agencies have been granted recognition to evaluate and accredit higher education institutions and programs in Vietnam.
The approved agencies are FIBAA, AQAS, and ASIIN, all based in Germany. Each has been granted a five-year license to operate in Vietnam.
FIBAA (Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation) is authorized to assess and accredit Vietnamese higher education institutions and programs in fields such as law, business and management, and social and behavioral sciences. Currently, nine undergraduate and graduate programs at Vietnamese universities have been accredited by FIBAA.
ASIIN (Accreditation Agency for Degree Programs in Engineering, Informatics, Natural Sciences and Mathematics) is approved to conduct evaluations and accreditation for programs in natural sciences, engineering, mathematics and statistics, computer science and IT, as well as educational sciences and teacher training.
AQAS (Agency for Quality Assurance through Accreditation of Study Programs) is authorized to evaluate and accredit higher education institutions and academic programs in accordance with Vietnamese regulations across various disciplines.
This development reflects Vietnam’s commitment to enhancing international cooperation and aligning its higher education quality standards with global best practices.
