This direction not only develops from institutes but also takes into account other universities in the area to form Vinh University with member schools, thus requiring the school to have very careful preparation, not only the school itself, but also the harmonious combination and participation of the whole province.

In the process of implementing this development orientation, the school must also calculate and anticipate difficulties, especially in the context of the recent decrease in the number of students and trainees.
