3. Method of Assessing Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes (LOs) specify that after graduation, learners (LEs) will acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes, technological awareness, and problem-solving abilities; the jobs that LEs can undertake after graduation; and other specific requirements. Assessing learning outcomes (LOA) is a crucial step in ensuring the achievement of LOs. LOA aims to evaluate the ability to apply knowledge, skills, and attitudes to problem-solving, assess students' learning progress, and measure cognitive levels through examinations.

Based on Circular No. 08 issued by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) on the promulgation of the "Regulations on Undergraduate and College Training under the Credit-Based System," the University of Transport and Communications (UTC) has issued guiding documents for implementation and has amended and supplemented certain provisions of these regulations to align with practical conditions, as stipulated in Decision No. 2006/QĐ-ĐHGTVT dated November 5, 2021. The methods for assessing academic performance are specified in Decision No. 2006/QĐ-ĐHGTVT regarding the implementation of the credit-based training regulations. Additionally, the university has developed a plan and implemented innovations in assessment methods to ensure adherence to fundamental principles in testing and evaluating learners.

The assessment of academic performance in UTC adhere to the following principles: accuracy, fairness, and objectivity (aligning with course content and accurately evaluating learners' competencies); training objectives-based (linked to learning outcomes and the competency scale of each course); comprehensiveness (assessing not only knowledge and skills but also attitudes and learning behaviors); regular and well-planned (conducted continuously to reflect the learning process); and feedback-oriented (analyzing results to improve teaching methods, assessment formats, evaluation criteria, and update the curriculum). Some concrete critera include:

- The number of credits for the courses that students register for at the beginning of each semester (abbreviated as registered course load workload).

- The semester GPA is the weighted average of the courses that students registered for during that semester, with the weights being the corresponding credits for each course.

- The accumulated knowledge is measured by the total number of credits for the courses that have been assessed with letter grades A, B, C, and D from the beginning of the program.

- The cumulative GPA is the average of the courses assessed with letter grades A, B, C, and D that students have accumulated from the beginning of the programme up to the time assessed at the end of each semester.

Learners' attitudes, study habits, knowledge accumulation, cognitive abilities, and skills are assessed through continuous assessment scores (40-50%) and final exam scores (60-50%), according to Articles 19 and 21 of the training regulations.

Continuous assessment scores: Include regular assessments (learning attitude, class attendance, punctuality, self-study preparation) and periodic assessments (knowledge and skills through midterm tests, essays, projects, lab work, etc.).

Final exam scores: A mandatory evaluation at the end of the semester, which may take the form of written reports, essays, multiple-choice or essay exams, presentations, oral exams, practical tests, or a combination.

Course grade: A comprehensive score combining both components, reflecting learners' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and study discipline. The course grade, based on a 10-point scale, is rounded to one decimal place and then converted into letter grades and a 4-point scale according to the university's academic regulations.

Based on the LOs and the LO matrix, exam questions and answer keys are designed to align with the Bloom's taxonomy levels of the course. The implementation of assessment based on Bloom's scale has been applied to courses starting from cohort 62, depending on the flexibility and adaptability between instructors and learners, the academic differentiation among student groups in the class, and the learning outcome measurement objectives set by the instructors.

6. Guidelines for Implementing and Organizing the Training Program

6.1 Registration for Study Load

•  The Faculty of International Education will announce the registration schedule at least 1 week before the registration begins.

•  Academic advisors are responsible for advising students on the courses they need to register for, ensuring compliance with the regulations in the training programme, as well as being suitable for the nature of the course types and the academic capability of the students.

•  Students must register for their courses through the university’s education management system.

•  Students who do not register for classes or register but do not meet the minimum credit requirement during the university's stipulated time or register but do not pay tuition will face disciplinary actions as per regulations.

•  Official schedule: The results of each student's course registration will be processed and announced as the official schedule (which may differ from the registered schedule) for each student. The schedule will clearly detail student information, courses, the number of credits for each course, total credits registered, the study timetable for each course, and the location of classes. Students must keep the official schedule to check the required tuition fees and examination schedules.

•  Course transfer: At the end of the course registration period, students must follow the official schedule. In case of force majeure, students may request to transfer classes for already registered courses. The procedures for transferring courses include:

o Students submit a request to transfer their registered course to the Faculty of International Education

o Present the registration form to the instructor responsible for the course to add to the class list.

•     Any case of students unilaterally transferring course classes will not be recognized.

6.2 Withdrawal of Registered Courses

Students are allowed to withdraw from the registered study load within 2 weeks from the beginning of the main semester and 1 week from the beginning of the supplementary semester. During this period, students will not have to pay tuition for the courses they withdrew from.

After this period, students may submit a request to withdraw from a course so that it does not count towards their academic record, but they must still pay tuition for the withdrawn course. The deadline for submitting a request to withdraw from a course should not exceed 2/3 of the course duration. Withdrawal from the registered study load must not violate the minimum credit requirement.

The Faculty of International Education determines the time for receiving requests for course withdrawal for each semester and informs students accordingly

The university provides students with implementation and training organization guidelines through the student handbook for each cohort.

Students in the ATPCE in TCE are required to complete 20 additional English credits alongside the mandatory 7 English credits to achieve level 4 in the Vietnamese 6-level language proficiency framework, equivalent to an IELTS score of 5.5.

  • Method 2: Admission based on high school academic performance (high school transcripts) for most academic programs: Candidates who have graduated from high school must have a total score of three subjects in the admission subject combination (average score of Grade 10 + average score of Grade 11 + average score of Grade 12) plus priority points (if applicable) that meets the minimum threshold for application submission. Additionally, no subject in the combination should have an average score below 5.5.
  • Method 3: Admission based on the results of the competency assessment test conducted by Vietnam National University, Hanoi in 2025 for some programs offered in Hanoi, and the competency assessment test conducted by Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City for programs offered at the Ho Chi Minh City campus.
  • Method 4: Admission based on the results of the 2025 Thinking Assessment Test conducted by Hanoi University of Science and Technology for certain programs offered in Hanoi.

For Method 1 and Method 2, candidates using a subject combination that includes English may substitute the high school transcript/exam score for English with an IELTS certificate (minimum score of 5.0, valid until June 30, 2021), converted according to the university's regulations.

The admission policy is developed based on the 2012 Higher Education Law and its 2018 amendments, the MOET's university admission regulations, the credit-based undergraduate and college education regulations, and other relevant regulations issued by the government and the university.Bottom of Form

3. Method of Assessing Learning Outcomes

The learning outcomes (LOs) specify that after graduation, learners (LEs) will acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes, technological awareness, and problem-solving abilities; the jobs that LEs can undertake after graduation; and other specific requirements. Assessing learning outcomes (LOA) is a crucial step in ensuring the achievement of LOs. LOA aims to evaluate the ability to apply knowledge, skills, and attitudes to problem-solving, assess students' learning progress, and measure cognitive levels through examinations.

Based on Circular No. 08 issued by the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) on the promulgation of the "Regulations on Undergraduate and College Training under the Credit-Based System," the University of Transport and Communications (UTC) has issued guiding documents for implementation and has amended and supplemented certain provisions of these regulations to align with practical conditions, as stipulated in Decision No. 2006/QĐ-ĐHGTVT dated November 5, 2021. The methods for assessing academic performance are specified in Decision No. 2006/QĐ-ĐHGTVT regarding the implementation of the credit-based training regulations. Additionally, the university has developed a plan and implemented innovations in assessment methods to ensure adherence to fundamental principles in testing and evaluating learners.

The assessment of academic performance in UTC adhere to the following principles: accuracy, fairness, and objectivity (aligning with course content and accurately evaluating learners' competencies); training objectives-based (linked to learning outcomes and the competency scale of each course); comprehensiveness (assessing not only knowledge and skills but also attitudes and learning behaviors); regular and well-planned (conducted continuously to reflect the learning process); and feedback-oriented (analyzing results to improve teaching methods, assessment formats, evaluation criteria, and update the curriculum). Some concrete critera include:

- The number of credits for the courses that students register for at the beginning of each semester (abbreviated as registered course load workload).

- The semester GPA is the weighted average of the courses that students registered for during that semester, with the weights being the corresponding credits for each course.

- The accumulated knowledge is measured by the total number of credits for the courses that have been assessed with letter grades A, B, C, and D from the beginning of the program.

- The cumulative GPA is the average of the courses assessed with letter grades A, B, C, and D that students have accumulated from the beginning of the programme up to the time assessed at the end of each semester.

Learners' attitudes, study habits, knowledge accumulation, cognitive abilities, and skills are assessed through continuous assessment scores (40-50%) and final exam scores (60-50%), according to Articles 19 and 21 of the training regulations.

Continuous assessment scores: Include regular assessments (learning attitude, class attendance, punctuality, self-study preparation) and periodic assessments (knowledge and skills through midterm tests, essays, projects, lab work, etc.).

Final exam scores: A mandatory evaluation at the end of the semester, which may take the form of written reports, essays, multiple-choice or essay exams, presentations, oral exams, practical tests, or a combination.

Course grade: A comprehensive score combining both components, reflecting learners' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and study discipline. The course grade, based on a 10-point scale, is rounded to one decimal place and then converted into letter grades and a 4-point scale according to the university's academic regulations.

Based on the LOs and the LO matrix, exam questions and answer keys are designed to align with the Bloom's taxonomy levels of the course. The implementation of assessment based on Bloom's scale has been applied to courses starting from cohort 62, depending on the flexibility and adaptability between instructors and learners, the academic differentiation among student groups in the class, and the learning outcome measurement objectives set by the instructors.

6. Guidelines for Implementing and Organizing the Training Program

6.1 Registration for Study Load

•  The Faculty of International Education will announce the registration schedule at least 1 week before the registration begins.

•  Academic advisors are responsible for advising students on the courses they need to register for, ensuring compliance with the regulations in the training programme, as well as being suitable for the nature of the course types and the academic capability of the students.

•  Students must register for their courses through the university’s education management system.

•  Students who do not register for classes or register but do not meet the minimum credit requirement during the university's stipulated time or register but do not pay tuition will face disciplinary actions as per regulations.

•  Official schedule: The results of each student's course registration will be processed and announced as the official schedule (which may differ from the registered schedule) for each student. The schedule will clearly detail student information, courses, the number of credits for each course, total credits registered, the study timetable for each course, and the location of classes. Students must keep the official schedule to check the required tuition fees and examination schedules.

•  Course transfer: At the end of the course registration period, students must follow the official schedule. In case of force majeure, students may request to transfer classes for already registered courses. The procedures for transferring courses include:

o Students submit a request to transfer their registered course to the Faculty of International Education

o Present the registration form to the instructor responsible for the course to add to the class list.

•     Any case of students unilaterally transferring course classes will not be recognized.

6.2 Withdrawal of Registered Courses

Students are allowed to withdraw from the registered study load within 2 weeks from the beginning of the main semester and 1 week from the beginning of the supplementary semester. During this period, students will not have to pay tuition for the courses they withdrew from.

After this period, students may submit a request to withdraw from a course so that it does not count towards their academic record, but they must still pay tuition for the withdrawn course. The deadline for submitting a request to withdraw from a course should not exceed 2/3 of the course duration. Withdrawal from the registered study load must not violate the minimum credit requirement.

The Faculty of International Education determines the time for receiving requests for course withdrawal for each semester and informs students accordingly

The university provides students with implementation and training organization guidelines through the student handbook for each cohort.

Students in the ATPCE in TCE are required to complete 20 additional English credits alongside the mandatory 7 English credits to achieve level 4 in the Vietnamese 6-level language proficiency framework, equivalent to an IELTS score of 5.5.
