摘要

Applying the international quality accreditation standards to perform the internal quality assurance; focusing on assessment at the program level rather than at the institution level; and becoming a member of one of the international quality assurance networks are the trend which is chosen by the majority of Vietnamese universities to set up the system that ensures their educational quality. This general trend becomes more and more growing, which has been expressed through recently national and international workshops such as: 2009 Asia-Pacific Quality Network Conference and Annual General Meeting ＂Quality Assurance in Higher Education: Balancing the National Contexts and International Aspiration＂; 2013 AQAN Seminar and Roundtable Meeting ＂Building Quality Culture and National Qualifications Framework＂; Workshop on ＂Independent Quality Accreditation, Quality Culture organized＂ by Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training; 2014 APQN Conference and Annual General Meeting ＂Higher Education Quality Assurance in a Changing World: Envisioning the Future of Asia Pacific.＂ This paper provides the information about European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance (ESG); the advantages and limitations of the quality assurance trend that the universities in Vietnam pursue in the context of the current integration as well as proposes some practical solutions to support Vietnamese universities in enhancing their internal quality system.
