Names of programme leader and key members of staff responsible for designing, maintaining and overseeing the programme.

Sale management staff of livestock breeding, animal feed and veterinary medicine

Staff of trade production management of livestock breeds, animal feeds, veterinary medicines.

Start-up of jobs and businesses (animal farms, veterinary drug stores, animal feed, veterinary clinics, animal breeds, breeding equipment)

The program that follows this philosophy is based on two principles:

1) Learning only really begins if the learner is interested in learning

2) People actively construct knowledge from their own experience.

Learners will participate in study and work at veterinary enterprises, through which they will apply the knowledge learned to practice, discover new knowledge, develop creative thinking and form career competencies.

How does the programme promote internationalisation and encourage students to develop cross-cultural capabilities?

How will good practice in ensuring equality, diversity and inclusion be embedded in the design, content and delivery of the programme?

The program is designed to be comparable to with the best content of prestigious national programs (Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry, Vietnam National University of Agriculture) and foreign programs (Gadja Mada University, Indonesia; Mahidol University, Thailand; UC Davis University, USA; Queensland University, Australia; University of London, UK)

Cumulative GPA of the whole course  is from 2

Hold a certificate of national defense and physical education

Have B1 foreign language certificate or pass 4 modules of non-major English, soft skills (4 certificates)

Please explain how the programme’s design maximises the value of students’ contact time with staff (which may be face-to-face, virtual, synchronous or asynchronous), including through the use of technology-enhanced learning. For example, giving students resources for their independent study which then enables a class to be more interactive with a greater impact on learning.

 Please outline key features of how independent study and formative work has been designed to support the progressive achievement of the programme learning outcomes. (For example, the use of online resources, which may also incorporate formative feedback; opportunities for further learning from work-based placements).

Lecturers also post documents, images and videos related to the subjects they teach through E-learning system as online resources for students

Please outline how summative assessment within and across courses has been designed to support and evidence the progressive achievement of the programme learning outcomes. (For example, the use of different assessment methods at the ‘introduction’ stage compared to those used to evaluate deeper learning through the application of skills and knowledge later in the programme).

Introductory courses are assessed by answering short questions, presentations, oral and written exams

Subjects that are practical and reinforce key topics are assessed by giving students presentations (rubric assessing presentations), case studies, group exercises, rubrics for assessing practice exams

In addition, for specialized subjects, students are assessed through the implementation of a project and each lecturer will give specific rubrics to assess to group activities, attitudes, content and products

For the graduation thesis, students report to the Board and are assessed based on the project scorecard including content, form, style, attitude, and knowledge when answering questions
