The Department of Environmental Management (DEM) has conducted this Self-Assessment Report (SAR) of its Bachelor of Engineering in Environment and Natural Resources Management (BEENRM) programme according to AUN-QA criteria to review the training process as a whole to point out its strengths and weaknesses. On that basis, it is possible to identify measures to improve the training quality to meet the development requirements of Can Tho University (CTU), the society as well as the desire for integration into regional and international education. This is also CTU’s commitment to society and employers regarding the quality of its training programmes. The preparation process of SAR of the BEENRM programme is based on Plan No. 814/KH-DHCT-QLCL dated March 30, 2022, by the Rector of CTU and Plan No. 1134/KH-DHCT-MT&TNTN, dated on April 25, 2022, by the Dean of the College of Environment and Natural Resources (CENRes).
The SAR consists of four parts:
- Part I_ INTRODUCTION: includes the executive summary, the organisation of the self-assessment, and an overview of CTU, the CENRes, and DEM
- Part II_ AUN-QA CRITERIA: details 8 criteria of the AUN-QA version 4.0 written up to meet the requirements of the AUN-QA Version 4.0.
- Part III_STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ANALYSIS AND QUALITY ENHANCEMENT PLAN: provides detailed analyses of the strengths, weaknesses, self-evaluation, and quality enhancement plan of BEENRM programme.

The BEENRM programme started in 2008 with 138 credits (111 compulsory and 27 electives; training duration of 4 years) was applied for Cohort 34 and 35. After 4 modifications, the current programme has 161 credits (111 compulsory; 50 electives; training duration of 4.5 years). It has been applied for Cohort 48 since Semester 1, 2022-2023, including 3 blocks of knowledge: General knowledge; Fundamental knowledge and Specialised knowledge. The BEENRM 13 learning outcomes are aligned with the objectives stated in the Vietnam's Law on Education, CTU and CENRes. Teaching and learning methods (direct teaching, indirect teaching, self-study, group discussions, situation-based teaching, scientific research projects) and assessment methods (attendance, assignments, presentations, group work, essay exams, multiple-choice exams, graduation thesis defense) are implemented using the Plan Do Check Act (PDCA) process to ensure that expected learning outcomes are met.

The number of CENRes teaching staff is relatively stable and well meets the requirements of training, research and public service activities. Currently, the CENRes has 48 teaching staff, including 01 professor, 16 associate professors, 17 doctorates an 14 masters. 100% of lecturers have postgraduate qualifications. The facilities of CTU and the CENRes are well-suited for teaching, learning, and research, and they are regularly renovated using funds from domestic and foreign sources, particularly the ODA project.
