On May 12th, 2009, according to the Decision no. 859/QD–KTQD–TCCB by the President, the National Economics University, the Faculty of International Training Management was renamed as the International Faculty of Management and Economics. The key task was to focus on building and executing international programs in collaboration with international partners. In addition, the faculty should also be responsible for managing all students studying at National Economics University campus.
At the same time, the faculty continued to implement and develop the Vietnam–Belgium Master Program and the International Bachelor’s Program with new partners and majors. In 2009, the faculty established a new partnership with the University of the West of England (UWE) in the United Kingdom, opening up the Economics major – a new major for the International Bachelor’s Program. Later, in 2010, the faculty expanded its offerings with the Banking & Finance major, providing more opportunities for students studying in the program.
The Faculty of International Training Management (FITM) was formed on November 26th, 2003 according to Decision no. 4684/QĐ–TCCB.
