In the context of increasingly flourishing competency assessment and thinking assessment exams, many universities are also promoting diverse admission methods to increase the chances of admission for candidates, and at the same time select learners suitable for the training program.
Dr. Vu Van Ngoc - Director of the Institute of Advanced Education, High Quality & POHE, National Economics University - said that according to the admission regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, currently candidates have many choices for admission consideration instead of just relying on high school graduation exam scores.
For candidates, the important thing is to choose the most advantageous method when converted to a 30-point scale to have the highest chance of admission" - Dr. Vu Van Ngoc said.
For the National Economics University, Mr. Ngoc said that the school always develops admission plans in the direction of ensuring compliance with regulations and fairness in admission consideration, but still must select the group of candidates most suitable for the training objectives.
In addition to the method of considering high school graduation exam scores, the school also uses many competency assessment and thinking assessment results such as SAT, HSA of Vietnam National University, Hanoi University of Science and Technology's thinking assessment exam or exams of Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City.
For advanced, high-quality and POHE programs, foreign language requirements are prioritized by students who study most modules in English.
“We want to enroll students with foreign language skills because with the advanced program, students study 100% of modules in English, except for political theory or national defense and security education subjects. Thus, foreign language ability and thinking are very important,” he said.
This year, the total enrollment quota for Advanced, High-Quality and POHE training programs is 3,500 students. Among them, the CLC 3 admission code has the largest number with about 1,900 quotas.
After registering the admission code and combination, candidates continue to choose the training program according to their aspirations.
Not only innovating admissions, the school also adjusts its training programs to adapt to the trend of digital transformation and AI, which are strongly impacting the economic sector.
According to Dr. Vu Van Ngoc, in 2026, the school will review the advanced, high-quality POHE training program for course 68, which will strengthen modules on big data, data analysis and artificial intelligence in economics and business.
“We include in the training program many modules of data analysis, AI content in economics and business so that graduates can use big data and AI to make intelligent and accurate decisions,” he said.
However, according to Mr. Ngoc, AI is just a supporting tool and students need to know how to use technology responsibly.
Students need to grasp and use AI responsibly to turn it into an effective tool for themselves," he emphasized.
Regarding output, Dr. Vu Van Ngoc said that the employment rate of students after graduation of the school currently reaches over 90% and is publicly announced in the enrollment project as well as on the school's website.
One of the highlights of the training programs is their openness and international interoperability through the 2+2 model and transitional programs.
According to international standards, what international students can do after graduation, our students must also do the same" - Mr. Ngoc said.
Currently, the Institute for Advanced, High Quality Training & POHE is recognized by many prestigious universities in the United States, UK, New Zealand and the Netherlands, receiving students to study in transfer. For these programs, students also enjoy many scholarship support policies from partner schools.
