'Reversing' Korean students coming to study in Vietnam

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Vu Quynh, Vice Principal of Lac Hong University, said that the current cooperation between Vietnamese and Korean universities is a two-way relationship, not only Vietnamese students go to Korea but also Korean students go to Vietnam.

For example, since 2019, Namhae University has sent students to Dong Nai to study Vietnamese and participate in short-term study programs.

Or many officials of the Gyeongsangnam Province Representative Office in Ho Chi Minh City when working in Vietnam studied Vietnamese at Lac Hong University.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Vu Quynh also emphasized the importance of expanding international educational cooperation, especially when Korea has many programs to support international students and an advanced educational environment.
