Accordingly, there are 4 forms of joint training at university, master's and doctoral levels proposed in the draft.

Firstly, direct training linkage is applied at undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels, in which at least 70% of the total training program volume is taught directly.

Second, online training is applied at the university level, in which 50% or more of the total training program duration (including teaching, guidance, learning and assessment activities) is carried out in a digital environment, based on a system of software, learning materials, and information technology infrastructure that allows management and organization of training via the internet (online training system).

Third, the combined training in the form of direct and online training is applied at the undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels, in which from over 30% to under 50% of the total training program duration is carried out through the online training system.

Fourth, Vietnamese higher education institutions carry out training cooperation with foreign higher education institutions in the corresponding training form that is being implemented or is permitted by competent authorities to be implemented at the headquarters of both parties in the host country.

Regarding the diplomas of joint training programs, the draft circular requires ensuring compliance with the Government 's regulations on cooperation and investment with foreign countries in the field of education and the following requirements: having full information on the diploma according to the regulations of the party granting the diploma; having a diploma appendix (in Vietnamese, English or the native language of the foreign higher education institution implementing the joint training) including information (name of the joint training program, form of joint training; training time in Vietnam and abroad; language used during the study process; training level for which the diploma is granted according to the national qualification framework of Vietnam and the corresponding qualification and diploma system of the foreign higher education institution in the host country).

Diplomas granted by foreign higher education institutions to students of joint training programs conducted in whole or in part in Vietnam must ensure full compliance with the regulations of the degree-granting party so that students can enjoy the same benefits as diplomas granted to students graduating from foreign higher education institutions in the host country.

Vietnamese higher education institutions must publicly demonstrate the legal basis related to the degrees of foreign higher education institutions that conduct joint training in Vietnam; and are responsible for supporting the recognition of degrees granted by foreign higher education institutions to learners in joint training programs with foreign countries for use in Vietnam when requested.
