The Education 4.0 model is a smart education model that connects together universities, policy makers, and business employers, as well as incorporating information technology into the schools to enhance teaching efficacy and allow the teaching-learning activity to take place anywhere or anytime. The Education 4.0 environment is not only a place for research and training but also a center for nurturing creativity, spurring entrepreneurship spirit among students, and increasing intellectual productivity in order to deliver high social values and meet the development demand of Vietnam in this era of industrial revolution 4.0.

Understanding this trend of education 4.0, Nguyen Tat Thanh University has already integrated the model into teaching activities. Nguyen Tat Thanh University has become a pioneer in updating teaching methods, developing human resource that meets the society demand, registering for international accreditation AUN in advance, and honorably being the first non-public university to be accredited by the Ministry of Education & Training and receiving 3-star international standard from QS-Stars organization.
