IAUN-QA Program Accreditation
From July 4th to 6th, 2023, an AUN-QA evaluation for training programme of the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory (BaML) will be held at the Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, a member of Hue University, for the quality assurance work. It was known that in November 2015, the Quality Assurance Council of the Southeast Asian University Network (AUN) officially approved Hue University to become an associate member of this organization.
AUN-QA (ASEAN University Network - Quality Assurance) is AUN’s specialized network for higher education quality assurance. Its mission is to promote quality assurance activities at higher education institutions, improve higher education quality and collaborate with regional and international organizations for the benefit of the ASEAN community.
The AUN set of criteria with a lot of strict quality rules, with clear and specific criteria, will comprehensively evaluate the training programme from many aspects such as expected learning outcomes, programme framework, teaching staff, facilities, quality assurance, a connection between the university and students, alumni, employers, and business in order to ensure the quality of the entire training programme.
The importance of AUN

Furthermore, students who graduate from these programmes will have competitive advantages in finding employment in the regional and international markets.
