The Ho Chi Minh City National University Training Board has proposed three draft pilot regulations, including: Building and implementing a block of credits that can be recognized and converted; Recognizing credits from high school in the form of MOOC; Interdisciplinary training.

The regulations on credit blocks allow for the recognition of learning outcomes between programs within the Ho Chi Minh City National University system. Students can transfer credits from accumulated credits or micro-credits to other programs in full, partial or conditional form, depending on the level of equivalence in content and output standards.

The regulation on recognizing credits from high school through MOOC creates opportunities for students to study early. Students can study some university courses in advance on the online platform of Ho Chi Minh City National University or taught by training institutions. Learning results will be considered for credit recognition if they meet the assessment requirements and are admitted to a member school.

With interdisciplinary training, member units can coordinate to build integrated programs, organize teaching and jointly award degrees. This model requires transparency, integration between majors and compliance with unified procedures, including tuition fee mechanisms and legal responsibilities between the associated parties.

Currently, Ho Chi Minh City National University has 8 member universities including: Polytechnic, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities, Information Technology, Economics and Law, International, Health Sciences, An Giang.

Associate Professor Dr. Tran Cao Vinh, Vice Director of Ho Chi Minh City National University, requested the Training Department to soon complete the pilot regulations to ensure compliance with the Party and State's policies on education and training development. Mr. Vinh emphasized that in the current context, institutions must play a role in promoting development. The regulations issued by Ho Chi Minh City National University need to promote the strength of the system and at the same time create breakthroughs in training.

Ho Chi Minh City National University aims to be among the Top 100 universities in Asia by 2030. To achieve this goal, training is the core task, linked to scientific and technological research. The need for innovation requires the implementation of interdisciplinary and inter-school training models - demonstrating systematic, distinctive and innovative nature. In the context of rapidly changing higher education, Ho Chi Minh City National University needs to be creative, expand training methods and build a legal framework to pilot and replicate new models.
