The Bachelor of International Trade program is the result of training cooperation between Ho Chi Minh City Open University and Rouen Normandie University, starting in 2018. Students study full-time for 3 years in Vietnam and are awarded a degree by the French side. The program is designed according to European educational standards, focusing on practicality and international integration.

Students study 100% in English, with an emphasis on a second language (French or Vietnamese for international students). More than 50% of the study time is spent on practical experience through business projects, case studies, internships and training at internationally recognized companies. In addition, students participate in French-Vietnamese cultural activities, community projects and domestic and international academic events.

After 7 years of implementation, the program has trained more than 150 bachelors in the field of international trade, contributing to providing high-quality human resources for the global labor market.
