The document provides an overview of agroecology (AE) education at the Vietnam National University of Agriculture (VNUA). AE courses have been part of the curriculum since the 1990s and are primarily based on established ecological theories and foreign textbooks. Lecturers typically have academic backgrounds in related fields, though not specifically in AE. Recently, VNUA has started integrating six applied AE models developed by GRET into its MSc program to strengthen the connection between theoretical content and practical agricultural contexts.
