Welcome to the School of Economics, Finance, and Accounting (EFA) at the International University (IU), Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU HCMC). The EFA School was established with the aim of transforming International University into a leading institution in education, research, knowledge development, and application to meet the increasing demands of the domestic as well as international markets.
We recognize that knowledge and research extend beyond the boundaries of classroom, having a profound impact on societal development. Therefore, we have a crucial mission to effectively apply the results of learning and research to economic and financial development, as well as to overall social prosperity. We encourage students to engage in research projects, consulting activities, and economic and financial development initiatives for social organizations, businesses, and communities. This not only enhances their practical skills but also contributes to the sustainable development of society.
Our training programs are carefully designed to strike a balance between theory and practice, enabling students to apply their knowledge to real-world situations. Our faculty members possess in-depth expertise in their fields and actively integrate practical applications into their teaching methodologies, ensuring that our students acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for success in their careers. Furthermore, several research works by our faculty members have been published in leading international journals – a firm demonstration of our commitment to knowledge development and contribution to the academic community. Moreover, realizing that economic and financial development exists not only at the national level but also influences international relations, we provide opportunities for students to explore the international aspects of Economics, Finance, and Accounting. Through training content and program affiliations with internationally recognized professional organizations such as ACCA, ICAEW, CMA, CFA, CPA, our students can become experts who actively contribute to the sustainable development of the region.
We take pride in our Finance and Banking program, which is one of the only two programs in Vietnam currently affiliate with CFA Institute. This affiliation allows our students to receive international recognition for their knowledge and skills in the field of Finance and Banking. We are committed to providing students with a quality program that aligns with international standards, enabling them to become highly competent professionals capable of competing in the global job market.
