On November 12–13, 2025, VNUHCM - University of Information Technology (UIT) welcomed the ASIIN Accreditation Delegation from the Federal Republic of Germany for an on-site visit to evaluate UIT’s academic programs under international quality assurance standards. This marks the third time UIT has participated in the ASIIN accreditation process — one of the world’s most prestigious and reputable organizations in science, engineering, and technology accreditation.

ASIIN (Accreditation Agency for Study Programs in Engineering, Informatics, Natural Sciences and Mathematics) is a quality assurance organization under the European Network for Quality Assurance (ENQA). In Vietnam, ASIIN is authorized to conduct assessments and certifications for higher education institutions and programs in natural sciences, engineering, mathematics–statistics, computing–information technology, educational sciences, and teacher training. ASIIN’s accreditations are internationally recognized and serve as a trusted mark of academic quality across global higher education systems.

The ASIIN Evaluation Team consisted of:

• Prof. Dr. Stefan Fischer – University of Lübeck
• Prof. Dr. Bruno Studer – University of Applied Sciences of the Grisons
• Prof. Dr. Christina Class – Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena University of Applied Sciences
• Mr. Dang Ngoc Hai – Branch Director at Axon Active Da Nang & Vice Chairman of the Da Nang Software Association
• Mr. Nguyen Hoang Anh Tu – Student, International University, VNU-HCM

UIT programs under ASIIN accreditation review in 2025:

• Bachelor of Science in Data Science
• Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
• Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering
• Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
• Master of Science in Information Technology

During the visit, ASIIN conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the programs, covering aspects such as learning outcomes, curriculum design, faculty qualifications, facilities, quality assurance processes, and the connection between the university, students, and industry. The review provided the experts with an in-depth understanding of UIT’s academic quality, innovation capacity, and alignment with ASIIN’s rigorous international standards.

The delegation participated in a variety of activities, including meetings with university leadership, employers, faculty, and students, as well as visits to classrooms, laboratories, and research facilities to assess the academic environment and resources available at UIT.

Previously, UIT successfully achieved ASIIN accreditation for several programs, including:

• Bachelor’s in Information Systems

• Bachelor’s in E-Commerce

• Master’s in Information Systems

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science

• Bachelor’s in Computer Networks and Data Communications

• Master’s in Computer Science

• Master’s in Information Security

The continued engagement with ASIIN not only reinforces UIT’s academic reputation and training quality but also demonstrates the university’s strong commitment to maintaining international standards. This effort ensures that UIT graduates are well-prepared to meet the demands of a high-quality workforce in the era of digital transformation and global integration.
