Several civil servants have been discovered among over 600 individuals implicated in a scandal in which a Hanoi university had been issuing fake second bachelor’s degrees in English studies. An investigation by the Ministry of Public Security recently revealed that Dong Do University, located in Thanh Xuan District, Hanoi, had granted as many as 626 bogus English bachelor’s degrees, 216 of which have been verified. Among the verified cases, 23 people had their degrees deemed invalid as Dong Do University is not licensed to offer training programs for a second bachelor’s degree. The other 193 people had never enrolled in the school or had failed to meet requirements to be granted their degrees. Fifty-five of them had already used the degrees to apply for postgraduate education or to defend their doctoral thesis.

An inspector used the fake degree to take part in an examination for rank promotion, and two public officials declared the qualification in their personal background.
