Master of Computer Science

Quality Assurance

How the programme is designed, reviewed and improved; accreditation status.

System

Three levels working together

VNU-HCM

Issues the master's training regulations and the quality policy framework; organises external assessment.

University of Science

Issues the curriculum and graduate training rules, runs student surveys; the Office of Testing and Quality Assurance manages the internal QA system.

Faculty of Information Technology

Designs and reviews the programme using an outcome-based approach; collects course feedback and implements improvements.

QA process

Programme quality assurance process

Feedback from students, lecturers, alumni and employers supports programme review and improvement through the PDCA cycle.

  1. Collect feedback

    Student surveys on courses and the programme; alumni and employer surveys; lecturers' input.

  2. Analyse

    The Faculty compares feedback with learning results, progression, labour-market needs and international benchmarks.

  3. Propose and approve improvements

    Courses or structure are added or adjusted through the University's review and approval procedure (for example, adding courses on emerging technologies).

  4. Issue and publish

    Changes are issued by Rector's decision and published on the Faculty's programme page.

The end-of-course survey is the students' official feedback channel; its results are used in course and programme review.

Accreditation

Quality accreditation

In progress

The Master of Computer Science programme is preparing for accreditation under the ASIIN criteria (the German accreditation agency for engineering, informatics, natural sciences and mathematics) together with four other programmes of the Faculty. Results will be published here when available.

The Faculty's accreditation experience

The Faculty of Information Technology has undergone AUN-QA assessment for its undergraduate programmes; the Advanced Program in Computer Science was assessed by AUN-QA in 2021.
