Van Lang University welcomes university partners from Netherlands and Thailand to expand international collaboration

On October 11, 2024, Van Lang University (VLU) was honored to welcome distinguished representatives from two prestigious international universities, including Fontys University of Applied Sciences and Kasetsart University. 

Dr.  Maurice Cuypers, Director of the International Relations & Research Department (Netherlands), and Prof. Matthew P. Downs, Senior Advisor at Kasetsart University (Thailand), shared valuable insights into exchange programs, providing Vietnamese students with opportunities to immerse themselves in international academic environments, explore culture and enhance their language proficiency. Notably, the representatives proposed developing a joint short-term study program for students from all three institutions.

Mr. Doan Duy Thai Lam, Head of the Honors Program Department, introduced concrete proposals to foster effective collaboration. The "Get Ready to Work" project,  tailored for second-year and third-year Honors Program students, garnered significant interest from partner universities.  This program aims to equip VLU students with essential soft skills to integrate into the labor market through activities simulating a professional working environment.

Van Lang University has consistently demonstrated a proactive approach to expanding its international partnerships, offering students numerous opportunities to engage in global academic exchanges and achieve holistic development.
