Representative of Saskatchewan Polytechnic university, Mr. Miles Fahlman - International Project Coordinator showed his willing to become UEF’s partner and in collaboration with UEF organize international exchange programs. Particularly, Saskatchewan Polytechnic university was impressed by the students exchange program lasting over 10 years between UEF and Pittsburgh and they wanted to build such a program. Saskatchewan Polytechnic university is also operating a similar program in China but they want to move the program to Vietnam, that’s why they are searching for a partner university here.

The Canadian university also suggested developing international programs in collaboration with UEF, such as the internship program for Canadian students. Students of Saskatchewan Polytechnic university will come to another country to have their internship so that they have the chance to work and experience internationally. Miles want to organize that internship program in Vietnam, specifically at UEF.

Not only Canada, but universities and organizations from Japan, Thailand, etc., have come and suggested cooperation with UEF. It’s believed that with the international “standards” and appreciation of organizations and universities, UEFers will certainly get more chances for international exchange program, joint program, double degree and work in multinational companies.
