1. Education objectives
The high-quality program and the standard program of the E-commerce major have similar learning outcomes and program structure, but the learning outcomes of the high-quality program are qualified foreign language and professional competence, which are higher than in the standard program. The high-quality program’s foreign language learning outcomes are one level higher than those of the standard program, and a number of significant learning outcomes for soft skills and technical abilities are more advanced than those of the standard program. The following significant elements contribute to this distinction:
- To help students easily acquire the high-demand foreign language skills and improve the effective interaction of teachers in foreign language teaching, the foreign language training program is specifically designed in the direction of increasing the number of lessons in small classes. Students are divided into classes according to their level. Additionally, students can take some specialized subjects in foreign languages, which will have a noticeable difference from the standard program.
- Smaller classes in high-quality programs enable lecturers to closely monitor students’ learning. Additionally, the class is set up with teaching assistants to aid the theoretical lecturers in guiding students and grading assignments in class, along with a group of additional lecturers to assist students in practice. High-quality students’ professional skills are improved and tracked through each stage of each subject by applying more theory and practice.
UIT has a system of staff members to serve and support the high-quality program, which brings high efficiency and helps students in this program achieve their learning outcomes.

These activities include company visits, team-building exercises, foreign language clubs, gifted clubs, and business workshops to share interview experiences, CV writing, soft skills, and professional skills. In order to facilitate students in the standard program and high-quality program to be able to change the program during their studies, the high-quality program curriculum for the E-commerce major is built like the standard program curriculum for the E-commerce major. However, some subject learning outcomes in the high-quality program curriculum will be higher than that of the standard program curriculum, emphasizing the element of achieving the objective of foreign language proficiency and practice, especially basic and specialized subjects study in English.
