Many new “privileges” for students of NEU's BIFA International Bachelor program

As a typical training program of NEU in the field of finance and accounting, the International Bachelor of Accounting and Finance (BIFA) Program is becoming the top choice of many young people, because of its international standard learning path and open future development opportunities globally.

The graduation ceremony for 302 new graduates of the 8th cohort of the BIFA International Bachelor's Program will take place in November 2025.

BIFA's appeal comes not only from its optimal training program in the context of integration, but also from the high appreciation of major employers for its outstanding quality, which is confirmed through the success of 8 graduating cohorts who have entered the labor market. In order to further improve the quality of training, in the coming time, the National Economics University (NEU) and Cardiff Metropolitan University (UK) will promote the internationalization of learning activities, expanding many more "privileges" for BIFA students in the UK.

Training programs that anticipate the trends of globalization.

The digitalization and integration era is posing new requirements for accounting and finance human resources, not only with solid expertise but also with global thinking, technology adaptability and foreign language skills to work effectively in a global environment. Since 2018, NEU has cooperated with Cardiff Metropolitan University to implement the BIFA international joint program, both training a generation of human resources to meet new market demands and opening up opportunities for international standard learning and career opportunities worldwide for the young generation of Vietnam.

The program is designed to be taught entirely in English and taught at NEU by a team of Professors, Associate Professors, and PhDs who have been trained in advanced countries. BIFA students study in an international standard environment, participate in academic exchanges and seminars with lecturers from NEU and Cardiff Metropolitan University.

The BIFA International Bachelor's program lasts 3 years, and students receive a bachelor's degree awarded by Cardiff Metropolitan University.

The BIFA International Bachelor's programme lasts for 3 years, students can choose to study fully at NEU or transfer to the UK to study at Cardiff Metropolitan University for the last one or two years. Students who do not meet the IELTS 6.0 English requirement will study a year of English preparatory course, before entering the official training stage. After completing the programme, students will receive a bachelor's degree from Cardiff Metropolitan University, an international degree that opens up global study and career opportunities.

Honoring 302 new graduates of the 8th cohort and welcoming new students of the 12th cohort.

Recently, on November 9, NEU and Cardiff Metropolitan University held the Graduation Ceremony for the 8th batch and the Opening Ceremony for the 12th batch of the BIFA International Bachelor's Program. Of the 302 new graduates, 138 achieved Excellent grades - an impressive number reflecting the quality of training and the serious learning spirit of the students.

At the graduation ceremony, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu - Deputy Director of NEU expressed his pride and sent a message to the new graduates: an international bachelor's degree not only marks the past journey of knowledge, but also opens a new path, where each student needs to continue to learn, develop their capacity and be ready to integrate and compete in the global labor market. With a solid foundation of knowledge, comprehensive skills and international thinking, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu believes that BIFA students will become dynamic and creative global citizens, contributing to affirming the position of the National Economics University on the international education map.

At the graduation ceremony, Professor Nguyen Thanh Hieu - Vice Director of NEU - expressed his belief that BIFA students will become dynamic global citizens.

On the side of Cardiff Metropolitan University, Dr. Mukul Madahar - Deputy Dean in charge of Cooperation, Dr. Ramakanta Patra - Senior Lecturer in Economics and Finance, and Dr. Ingy Shaaban are all people who have accompanied the Program through many major events, seminars and directly supported BIFA students over the years. Directly awarding the degrees to the students, Dr. Mukul Madahar expressed his pride that the 8th batch had successfully completed their learning journey to become new international bachelors.

Dr. Mukul Madahar expressed his hope that the students would effectively apply the knowledge and skills they had acquired to their future work and life, and congratulated the new students, hoping that they would continue to nurture their creativity and passion for learning to achieve many successes in the course and on their future journey.

Increasing international "privileges" for students.

One of the great advantages of BIFA students is the companionship of international professional organizations, of which the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) is a typical example. ICAEW has worked closely with BIFA to support students in pursuing international professional qualifications and connecting with employers. ICAEW's global network of partner businesses opens up many job opportunities for BIFA students at home and abroad.

According to NEU leaders, in the coming time, the BIFA program will continue to strengthen the internationalization of learning activities, creating conditions for students to participate in international seminars and conferences at Cardiff Metropolitan, as well as joint academic projects with local students and lecturers of Cardiff Metropolitan University. The two schools aim to deploy the Global Classroom model, allowing BIFA students at NEU to attend online practical lectures at Cardiff Metropolitan, to enhance the international learning experience and academic connection between the two schools.

With an advanced training program that meets the requirements of the financial and accounting market in the integration period, along with increasing international opportunities for students, the BIFA International Bachelor Program continues to affirm itself as the optimal choice for young Vietnamese people who want to develop their careers in this promising field./.
