On March 2nd, 2022, VNU-IS hosted an online meeting with Ms. Vikki Manning, Quality Assurance Representative, University of East London, UK, as well as other colleagues from UEL.

Attending the meeting were representatives of VNU-IS from the Office of Research & Partnership Development, Office of Academic Affairs, Office of Student Affairs and Faculty of Economics and Management.

At the meeting, representatives of both sides engaged in open discussion about the collaborative review of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) of Accounting and Finance program (BAAF) for the 2021-2022 academic year. The review is conducted in line with UEL’s quality assurance regulations and is expected to take place in July 2022. The process involves a panel made up of external specialists and UEL staff, who conduct an on-site visit to VNU-IS campus to review the partnership and courses delivered under the collaborative agreement of the BAAF program. This collaborative review is anticipated as a good opportunity for the parties to enhance their communication and mutual understanding of the joint training program, thereby making necessary adjustments for further academic improvement.
