Abstract

Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is one of the well-known topics of decision making. Very often in MCDM problems, data are imprecise and fuzzy. In a real-world decision situation, the application of the classic MCDM method may face serious practical constraints, because of the criteria containing imprecision or vagueness inherent in the information. In such situations fuzzy systems can be helpful to make good decisions. If a fuzzy measure is available on a referential, it is interesting to have tools able to summarize all the pieces of information provided by a function in a single value; this value would be computed by aggregation functions, in terms of the underlying fuzzy measure. Such tools are the fuzzy integrals. Admission is the first important mission in education process of universities and colleges and has a great impact on the quality of teaching and learning. Well-constructed admission lead to recruit students with knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are suitable to the vision and core value of the education units, and orientate the learning process of students. To conceive, design and implement mixed criteria are the best-practice solution for admission improvement purpose. For that reason, aggregated information from different criteria into one which apply fuzzy integrals and conduct with a real data set from Viet Nam Nation University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) are the main goal for this paper. This paper result would lead to new approaches in undergraduate admission policy for VNU-HCM in the near future.
