According to Associate Professor Dat, the school will review the entire training program from undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels; refer to the training programs of universities in advanced countries; refer to and integrate subjects of training programs of prestigious professional organizations in the world ; associated with the process of digital transformation of the economy, green economy, circular economy...

Regarding testing, the school will gradually change the forms of testing and assessment to reduce stress for students during the learning process.

In addition to the training program, the university also has a policy on lecturers. Mr. Dat said that it is necessary to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the academic staff when attracting and appointing them. The university will move towards applying a roadmap to reduce financial support for the implementation of academic titles and degrees and increase support for other mechanisms and policies. At the same time, the university plans to increase scientific research hours and reduce teaching hours for lecturers.

Also in the workshop, the issue of whether there should be departments in universities was also raised. Regarding this issue, Associate Professor Dr. Pham Quoc Khanh, Deputy Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training), said that with the current academic autonomy mechanism, the school can completely experiment with a new model of departments. However, according to Mr. Khanh, the model of faculties and departments is very diverse in the world, in which the main departments are the important core. Therefore, the school needs to research and consider more about this adjustment.
