Building a high quality international learning environment with multicultural experience has become a mission of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF). Here, students are given the opportunity to develop and broaden their vision with a variety of international academic programs, cultural and academic exchanges with leading universities in the world.
It is those advantages that many foreign students chose UEF as a preferred destination for their international semester. In 2017, UEF admitted two students from France (Cergy – Pontoise University) on finance and accounting. Notably, an Iraq student decided to apply for a full-time program on IT at the university.

Kévy-Mike Dokoui reveals her reason to choose UEF to experience international semester: “I decided to choose Vietnam as a destination to discover a new culture and to know more about the evolution of the country. I had the choice between two university and I chose UEF because the course and the schedule that they proposed seemed really great for me. And, indeed, the classes are really good, the staff take care of us and students are very friendly. Thank you for your welcoming!”

 “I’m a French student coming from the University of Cergy-Pontoise in France. My major is Finance, and during my BA I have to do an exchange semester abroad to improve my English skills. I choose Vietnam because I wanted to have a very different experience than I had before. My family is Vietnamese so I thought that it was a good way to discover the Vietnamese culture and to travel this beautiful country. I choose UEF because my teacher in France said that your school was a very good one with very good lecturers and great students. As a conclusion, I’m very glad to have the opportunity to study In UEF this semester,” said Claire.
