Signed MOU with major university in Vietnam to promote exchange programs
Over 200 Vietnamese students at YU in undergraduate school and language programs
[November 9, 2018]
At 2 p.m. on the 9th, HCMC University of Technology and Education President Do Van Dung and his team visited YU to agree on comprehensive exchange between the two universities such as joint research of professors and exchange of undergraduate and graduate school students. Last year, the YU Department of Automotive Engineering signed an exchange MOU with the HCMC University of Technology and Education College of Automobile Energy Engineering, and this time around, they agreed on strengthening exchange between the two universities in all of its departments.
The two universities will review actual academic exchange programs such as exchange of students and faculty, the ‘2+2 dual diploma program’, and the ‘3+1+2 YU graduate school linked program’ where students can earn bachelor’s at the HCMC University and master’s at YU.
Recently, Korean dramas and entertainment shows have been hugely popular in Vietnam, which has resulted in a huge growth for demand to study in Korea to learn more about Korea. Meanwhile, Korean universities are focusing on attracting international students from Vietnam. With this MOU, it is expected that YU will gain momentum for attracting Vietnamese students.
YU President Sur Gil-soo said, “I hope that through this MOU, our exchange with Vietnam will become more widespread. We will provide full support so that international students at YU can study in an optimal environment.”
In addition to the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, YU has signed MOUs with major universities around Vietnam such as the Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages Information Technology, Vietnam National University of Agriculture, etc. and are actively interacting with each other. There are currently about 200 Vietnamese students studying at YU in undergraduate school, graduate school, and Korean language education center.
