 Challenges - education
1. Decreasing in the number of students: Estimated that
the number of students reduced to just over 20000 in the
next year
2. Educational programs are not competitive: 5 years
program, education program not up-to-date
3. No international integration for the educational
programs
4. Difficult for graduates to be competitive in globalization
environment: English skill, soft skills
 Challenges - research

Quality of research is a problem: Not enough

international references, lack of research exchange

Lack of funding for the research: short of funding from

the government, shorts of research ideas

Need more international cooperation in research

HUMG: Autonomy innovation high quality
Changing to cope with the new challenges - new
leader board new slogan: Autonomy Innovation
High Quality
Autonomy:
Less depend on the government
to find the new resources
develop own research fund

Innovation:
Innovation in education: Internationalize the
educational program, create a new international
environment for students through exchange
program
Innovation in research: encourage international
publications

High quality:
Develop high quality educational program with
international syllabus
Joint research with international institutions
Create strong research group between the faculty
in the university
Potentials on cooperation with AGH University

Education
Exchange program for student
AGH students may come to Vietnam to make
educational environment more international
HUMG students to AGH
Syllabus innovation with AGH
Invite lecturers from AGH and Poland
Develop new educational programs: social sciences,
language education

Research
