Vietnam has around 400 universities/colleges, but accreditation can only be done by an accrediting agency of the Ministry of Education & Training (MoET) [10]. Only 40 universities have been accredited by the MoET and this effort stopped short due to limited resources. Unaccredited Vietnamese universities and colleges, as a result, are trying to get international accreditations. The problem is no Vietnamese university/college has ever acquired international accreditation, and there is no experience to learn from. This paper argues that under the legal, technical and social environment of Vietnam, CDIO will better prepare Vietnamese universities/colleges for international accreditation than other approaches.
