Agreeing with Prof Hoang Thi Hong Ha, Ms. Hedwig Alfred hoped that many Vietnamese students would choose to study at WKWSCI in the future although the requirement for English at the university is very high. However, the UEF team explained that UEF students are already attending various courses in English here, so it would be no problem for students. Besides, UEF suggested opening exchange programs in summer for UEF and WKWSCI students.
