International accreditation

AUN-QA Accreditation

The ASEAN University Network – Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) is a quality assurance framework established by the ASEAN University Network (AUN). As of 2026, the Faculty of Marketing – Communication at Hoa Sen University has two academic programmes accredited by AUN-QA: Marketing and Media Production Management. These programmes have undergone a comprehensive quality assessment covering the entire educational process, from programme objectives and curriculum design to teaching and learning, student assessment, and learning outcomes.

AUN-QA accreditation provides significant benefits for both academic programmes and higher education institutions. It enables objective evaluation of programme quality, promotes continuous quality improvement, strengthens internal quality assurance systems, and enhances graduate outcomes through the principles of Outcome-Based Education (OBE). In addition, AUN-QA fosters transparency, accountability, and stakeholder engagement, thereby enhancing the University’s academic reputation, international recognition, and overall quality of education.

ASIIN Programme Accreditation

On April 10, 2025, HSU officially achieved institutional accreditation under European university quality standards from ASIIN (Germany). This makes HSU the first private university and the second university in Viet Nam to receive this prestigious international accreditation. This marks a significant stride in HSU’s journey towards international stature, achieved by fulfilling all four criteria: Governance and Strategic Objectives, Study Programmes and Student Support, Resource Management and Staff Development, and Transparency and Documentation System.

ACBSP Programme Accreditation
