Advanced Program in Computer Science

Quality Assurance

How the programme is designed, reviewed and improved; AUN-QA assessment and ASIIN accreditation.

System

Three levels working together

VNU-HCM

Issues the quality policy framework and organises external assessment under the AUN-QA criteria of the ASEAN University Network.

University of Science

Approves the curriculum, runs student surveys and manages the internal QA system (Office of Testing and Quality Assurance).

Faculty of Information Technology

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

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

    End-of-course surveys each quarter, homeroom-lecturer meetings and student forums; yearly surveys of lecturers, alumni and employers.

  2. Analyse

    The Faculty compares feedback with learning results, progression and labour-market needs, and benchmarks against the partner curriculum and international criteria.

  3. Propose and approve improvements

    Course, content and assessment changes follow University approval procedures. Updates in 2023–2025 replaced older courses and added Deep Learning and Large Language Model.

  4. Issue and publish

    Changes are issued in the curriculum of each intake and published on the Faculty and programme-office pages.

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

Accreditation

Quality accreditation

Completed

The programme was assessed under the AUN-QA criteria of the ASEAN University Network in 2021.

In progress

The 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.
