Building upon successful collaborative programmes in the fields of Business & Marketing Management, English Language & Linguistics, International Business Management, International Hospitality & Tourism Management, and Communications & Media, in 2024, the two institutions will advance the implementation of new academic programmes such as Logistics Management and Accounting-Finance. This initiative aims to provide students with increased opportunities to pursue contemporary careers, meeting the evolving demands of the current economic landscape.


Numerous collaborative programmes were discussed during the meeting between the UEF leadership delegation and the University of Gloucestershire.

 

It is worth noting that the two universities have extended the long-term collaboration agreement aimed at fostering the advancement of UoG's educational programmes in Vietnam. This agreement offers various benefits, including programme accreditation, professional development opportunities, and faculty exchanges to uphold the quality of education.

This recent business trip conducted by senior leaders served as an opportunity for both institutions to further strengthen their collaboration across various aspects. Additionally, the working trip also successfully secured several beneficial agreements, paving the way for new avenues of international cooperation initiatives.

Mutual promotion of each other’s postgraduate taught courses is also emphasized.

Furthermore, a noteworthy feature of the collaboration agreement between the two sides is the scholarship arrangements for UEF’s top 3 performing students to pursue their final year in the UK. As one of the few institutions in Vietnam to achieve the international standard of 4-star QS Stars with top-notch international cooperation initiatives, UEF has made significant advancements in global educational integration.
