Scientific research of lecturers is one of the main activities of Faculty of Law. Indeed, the Faculty always encourages lecturers to participate in doing research, and creates groups of skilled researchers who are able to work independently to carry out science projects in the university and under the society’s demands. The time of doing scientific research is counted on the standard of the university’s general regulations. Lecturers with good scientific research achievements will be encouraged and rewarded appropriately. For many consecutive years, different lecturers of the Faculty have personally been awarded by the UEL and the VNU-HCM for their excellent achievements in scientific research.

Besides, the faculty of law is clearly aware that scientific research is one of the necessary requirements to enhance the ability of independent research and equip scientific thinking for students to study at higher levels upon graduation, so the Faculty of Law really focuses on the students’ scientific research. The Faculty of Law has assigned a lecturer in charge of students’ scientific research as well as encouraged all faculty members to guide students in scientific research. In addition, the university also encourages the faculty and our students through an annual funding for research activities.

Based on above objectives and orientation, the Faculty of Law organized many seminars and talk-shows to attract all lecturers to join and contribute to the development of training program and education methods in the Faculty.

In parallel with faculty members' scientific research activities, students from the second year are also encouraged to do scientific research. Every year, the Faculty of Law organized different scientific seminars which attracted many students participating in. In scientific activities, students would self-identify problems and select a topic, then the lecturers guide them how to implement the topic.

Throughout the research process, the civil law students have made remarkable progress, such as in 2010, students of the Faculty carried out two scientific research projects and achieved good results (first and second prizes awarded by university). Especially in 2012, the Civil Law students had 6 research projects and among them, one project won 3rd prize and one won consolation prize at university. The number of projects had risen to 8 in 2013 and most of the projects were estimated as good quality, and were financially supported by the university.

In general, the scientific projects of civil law students are associated with their specialized training program. During the research implementation, students showed their efforts when they received projects from the university and they all ended with positive results.
