Pursuing international benchmarks and continuously advancing education quality remain core commitments of Fulbright University Vietnam. From September 15 to 17, 2026, Fulbright welcomed an external review panel from the Agency for Quality Assurance through Accreditation of Study Programs (AQAS) for an on-site visit to evaluate the Bachelor of Arts in Art and Media Studies (AMS) program.
This visit marks a pivotal milestone in the program’s international accreditation process, reflecting Fulbright’s dedication to quality assurance and continuous improvement.
The review panel brought together distinguished experts and representatives from Europe:
- Prof. Dr. Matthias Bruhn – Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, Germany
- Dr. Paul Moody – Royal College of Art, United Kingdom
- Mr. Benjamin Leers – Labour Market Representative, Benda Film GbR, Germany
- Ms. Anna Zanke – Student Representative, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
- Ms. Jana Newiger – Consultant for International Accreditation, AQAS
Across the three days, the panel conducted in-depth working sessions with university leadership, academic managers, faculty, students, alumni, and industry partners. They also toured campus facilities and reviewed academic learning resources to gain a comprehensive view of the program and Fulbright’s learning environment.
The discussions evaluated key program pillars, including program objectives and curriculum structure, teaching and learning methodologies, student assessment, student experience and academic support, learning resources, and mechanisms for quality assurance and continuous enhancement.
At the preliminary findings meeting, the AQAS review panel commended Fulbright with encouraging initial feedback, noting strong impressions of the faculty’s commitment, the interdisciplinary curriculum framework, and the critical thinking and creative capabilities demonstrated by AMS students.
This review not only recognizes the academic strength of the Art and Media Studies program, but also serves as an important step in Fulbright’s broader roadmap: systematically introducing undergraduate programs to international accreditation standards, driven by a commitment to continuous improvement that delivers world-class education rooted in the Vietnamese context.
