This article focuses on examining the delivery of pre-service teacher education programs and suggestions to improve teacher education at a key university in Vietnam – Ho Chi Minh City University of Education-from the perspectives of final year students. Findings show that teacher education programs at HoChiMinh City University of Education are able to help students achieve most of the qualities and professional competences as pre-defined. The findings also show that there are some competences requiring actions from the institutional level, including the competence of "counseling and supporting students". It is then suggested that the university review and modify the programs to improve the overall quality of the programs.
