The PhD program in English at the Institute of Sustainable Development, National Economics University was the ideal choice for my PhD. I highly recommend the training courses, seminars and seminars that I have been participating in so that I can become an independent researcher with potential for further development in the academic field. From a young researcher still confused, now I can do a research and write articles in the journal Scopus or ISI. Another special feature of this program is that all the teachers at the Institute of Sustainable Development are always ready to support and instruct graduate students. Staff of the office at the Institute are also very enthusiastic to help when needed. All create a learning environment that gives me a great experience.

For the 6 years after the completion of my MBA, I had been on the constant quest for the right phd program, considering dozens of options from both Vietnam and abroad. My top priorities were: Support from supervisors and administrative, academic excellence, international curriculum and reasonable tuition fees. The EPHD program at NEU is young but I have heard nothing but all the wonderful feedbacks/recommendations from my colleagues and mentors. And speaking from my experience as a current student of the program, I have every reasons to believe that the EPHD program has totally lived up to its reputation and satisfied every criteria that I have: supervisors and teachers are internationally recognized, the staffs were incredibly kind and supportive, the curriculum is rigorous, and the tuition is a fraction of other programs in English. I know the road ahead is long but I’m excited and never feel alone in my journey, all thanks to the amazing people of the program.

Not until I was enrolled into EPhD program was I engaged in such immersive learning and on the right track to enhance critical thinking as well as academic research competence. The supportive environment at EPhD combined with the well-structured program has step by step guided me through this challenging but rewarding journey to become an independent researcher.
