This is an educational transformation of a scale and pace that very few universities anywhere in the world have been able to achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the Block Teaching model, students focus on one module at a time rather than several simultaneously, providing greater flexibility in how they study, travel and balance academic life, work and personal commitments. Since DMU pioneered this approach, more than <strong>40 other universities<\/strong> have consulted DMU&#8217;s experience and applied elements of the model within their own institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Results_Speak_For_Themselves\"><\/span>The Results Speak For Themselves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Block Teaching model has not only demonstrated innovation in theory. It has produced clearly measurable outcomes in DMU&#8217;s real-world academic performance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The student pass rate has increased by <strong>4%<\/strong>, the continuation rate has risen by more than <strong>9%<\/strong> and student evaluation scores have improved by <strong>10 to 20%<\/strong> across key criteria. These figures reflect the direct satisfaction and progress of students within the programme, not simply academic metrics on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is precisely these substantive results that led the <strong>Times Higher Education Awards 2026<\/strong> to recognise DMU in its most prestigious institutional category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Year_Of_Outstanding_Achievements_For_De_Montfort_University\"><\/span>A Year Of Outstanding Achievements For De Montfort University<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the shortlisting at the <strong>THE Awards 2026<\/strong>, De Montfort University has recorded a series of impressive results across multiple internationally recognised rankings throughout the past year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>#17 nationally<\/strong> at the WhatUni Student Choice Awards 2026, a ranking determined entirely by votes from currently enrolled students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>#10 in the United Kingdom for Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> according to the Shanghai Global Rankings, affirming DMU&#8217;s leading position in technology and AI research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>#12 globally for Peace and Justice<\/strong> according to the THE Impact Rankings 2026, reflecting DMU&#8217;s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Top 10 higher education institution in the United Kingdom for transnational education<\/strong>, a result of particular significance for the DMU-HSU Vietnam programme as it confirms the quality of the international partnership programmes that DMU is delivering across the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Top 20 in the United Kingdom<\/strong> according to the Uni Compare Rankings 2027, with DMU achieving <strong>Top 10<\/strong> specifically for graduate employability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_This_Means_For_DMU-HSU_Vietnam_Students\"><\/span>What This Means For DMU-HSU Vietnam Students<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every achievement of De Montfort University carries direct significance for DMU-HSU Vietnam students. The Honours Bachelor&#8217;s Degree that DMU-HSU Vietnam students receive upon graduation is the degree of the very institution shortlisted for <strong>University of the Year<\/strong> at the <strong>Times Higher Education Awards 2026<\/strong>, ranked Top 10 in the United Kingdom for graduate employability and used as a model by more than 40 universities around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the real value of studying at DMU-HSU Vietnam: not simply an international degree, but a degree from a university that continues to innovate, continues to be recognised and continues to create positive impact on global higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udc49 Send us a message today to get started on building your international personal brand with DMU-HSU Vietnam.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoasen.edu.vn\/demontfort\/en\/experience-dmu-summer-camp-2026\/\">DMU-HSU Vietnam Students Experience DMU Summer Camp 2026 In The United Kingdom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoasen.edu.vn\/demontfort\/en\/field-trip-to-duong-sach-dmu-hsu\/\">Field Trip To Duong Sach (Book Street) With DMU-HSU Vietnam 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoasen.edu.vn\/demontfort\/chuong-trinh-lien-ket-dmu-hsu\/\">DMU-HSU STUDENTS LEARN FROM LOUIS VUITTON EXPERTS AND EXPLORE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN THE WORLD OF LUXURY BRANDS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p><div style=\"font-family: Inter, sans-serif;\n            background:#fff;\n            max-width:100%;\n            line-height:1.55;\n            box-sizing:border-box;\n            border:1px solid #e3e3e3;\n            border-radius:10px;\n            padding:16px 18px;\n            font-size:15px;\">\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\n            font-weight:700;\n            font-size:19px;\n            letter-spacing:0;\n            color:#111;\">\n    150 YEARS OF UK EDUCATION EXCELLENCE AT HOA SEN UNIVERSITY\n  <\/p>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 8px; color:#222;\">\n    <span style=\"white-space:nowrap;\">\ud83c\udfe2 <strong>\u0110\u1ecba ch\u1ec9:<\/strong><\/span>\n    Room&nbsp;804, 8 Nguyen Van Trang Street, Ben Thanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City\n  <\/p>\n <div style=\"margin:0 0 8px; color:#222;\n            display:flex; align-items:flex-start; gap:8px;\">\n  <span style=\"white-space:nowrap;\">\ud83d\udd0e <strong>Fanpage:<\/strong><\/span>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/demontforthsuvietnam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#1a73e8; text-decoration:underline;\">\n    facebook.com\/DMUHSU\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 14px; color:#222;\">\n    <span style=\"white-space:nowrap;\">\u260e\ufe0f <strong>Hotline:<\/strong><\/span>\n    <a href=\"tel:0888275276\" style=\"color:#222; text-decoration:none;\">\n      0888 275 276\n    <\/a>\n  <\/p>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoasen.edu.vn\/demontfort\/dang-ky-tu-van\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"\u0110\u0103ng k\u00fd t\u01b0 v\u1ea5n ch\u01b0\u01a1ng tr\u00ecnh De Montfort t\u1ea1i HSU\" style=\"display:inline-block;\n            background:#c62828;\n            color:#fff;\n            text-decoration:none;\n            font-weight:700;\n            font-size:15px;\n            padding:12px 18px;\n            border-radius:8px;\n            box-sizing:border-box;\">\n    REGISTER FOR CONSULTATION\n  <\/a>\n<\/div><p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Written by: Ms. Nguyen To Quynh Ngan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Institute of International Education and Global Engagement<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A proud new milestone for the DMU-HSU Vietnam community: De Montfort University (DMU) has officially been shortlisted for the University of the Year category at the Times Higher Education Awards 2026, a prestigious accolade honouring higher education institutions that have demonstrated outstanding achievements and remarkable innovation in the field of global higher education.
