12/28/2023

In the first semester of the academic year 2023 - 2024, UEF welcomed 15 students from the international exchange program who came from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Poland, and China. After their study period at the university, these students shared many memorable experiences with UEFers.

Before starting the academic year, they were engaged in activities and provided with detailed information about the schedules, student accounts, communication and student support service channels, etc. Additionally, exchange activities between international students and UEFers helped break the ice and got closer.

The international students' learning process was also strongly supported by various departments within the university. Many extracurricular activities were organized to help them learn about Vietnamese culture, which left them with an unforgettable feeling.

It is the same with the UEFers since we create group-workings and help each other with our best. I also made many new friends, and we went out together. They introduced me to a variety of delicious dishes.”

International students quickly adapt and create unforgettable memories at UEF

Joining an exchange study program at UEF, international students also invested their time in visiting Ho Chi Minh City as well as other popular destinations in Vietnam. This was a great opportunity for them to socialize and explore captivating cultures.
