Continuing the series of end-of-term academic reporting activities, on the morning of June 28, the Faculty of Law organized the thesis defense councils for students of the Class of 2021 majoring in Law and Economic Law. With serious preparation in both content and presentation skills, the six students who participated in the defense clearly demonstrated solid research thinking and confident demeanor in front of the Evaluation Committee. All theses received positive evaluations, professional feedback, and approval.
Thesis Evaluation Committees
Corresponding to the number of topics, the Faculty of Law established six Evaluation Committees for the two majors. Members of the committees included Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang, Dr. Bui Thi Hang Nga, Dr. Tran Vang Phu, Dr. Gian Thi Le Na, M.A. Vu Anh Sao, and M.A. Nguyen Nam Trung. The students defending their theses were all those with good academic performance and with the necessary qualifications and research capabilities.
The six thesis topics completed were:
“Application of Vietnamese Law on Interest Rates in Loan Contracts” by Hoang Xuan Bach Khoa;
“Ensuring Ownership Rights to Non-Fungible Digital Assets (NFTs) – International Legislative Experiences and Lessons for Vietnam” by Le Dong Han;
“Law on Recognition and Protection of Works Created by Artificial Intelligence” by Le Quoc Khai;
“Identifying Legal Signs of ‘Greenwashing’ Conduct under International Law and Lessons for Vietnam” by Pham Thanh Thao;
“Law on Corporate Governance in Commercial Banks in Vietnam” by To Thi Quynh Trang;
“Law on Cross-Ownership in the Banking Sector in Vietnam” by Tran Ngoc Bao Tram.
Thesis Presentations and Academic Quality
The topics pursued by the students were closely aligned with the academic orientation of their disciplines—Law and Economic Law. In terms of content, most topics offered novelty and high applicability, focusing on resolving practical legal issues currently arising, such as ownership rights over digital assets (NFTs), legal frameworks surrounding AI-generated works, and “greenwashing” conduct in the global context. Each thesis not only demonstrated deep understanding but also showcased the students’ effort to approach issues independently and scientifically.
Each student had 15 minutes to present their thesis before the Committee. Relying on the knowledge they had learned and their process of research and exploration, the theses clearly identified issues and effectively applied theoretical foundations in analysis and evaluation. Research methods were flexibly applied, suitable to each author’s original research objectives.
Feedback and Final Outcomes
After the presentations, the students listened to feedback and directly answered the Evaluation Committee’s questions. Alongside recognition of strengths in content and presentation, the Committee also provided detailed suggestions regarding research subjects, scope, theoretical foundations, and citation methods. These comments serve as a basis for students to revise and complete their final theses.
At the conclusion of the evaluation session, all six theses were successfully defended before the Committee. This achievement is a worthy result of the students’ continuous effort, serious study, and persistence throughout their academic journey. Once again, UEF congratulates all of the students and is confident that this will serve as an important stepping stone for them to pursue higher levels of education or secure quality employment opportunities in the future.
