Signed a memorandum of understanding with Konyang University (South Korea)

The Rector took the time to introduce the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. According to him, the University has nearly 400 staff members, over 10,000 students, and cooperative relationships with over 300 international partners, including Korean partners such as Daegu University of Foreign Studies, Busan University, and Sanmyung University. The Department of Korean Studies (Faculty of Oriental Studies) is a leading institution for Korean studies training in Vietnam, providing Korean language training for employees of Korean companies in Vietnam, such as Samsung Electronics. The Rector expressed hope that cooperative activities between the two universities will be rapidly promoted in the near future.

On behalf of the Konyang University, Mr. Seok Nam Yoon (Head of the Institute of International Education) expressed his gratitude to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities for accepting four students from Konyang University to study in the Department of Vietnamese Studies and Vietnamese Language. He hoped to send more students to study and conduct research in Vietnam. According to him, this would create job opportunities for Konyang University students, as they could work in Vietnam immediately after graduation. In return, Konyang University is ready to welcome Vietnamese students to Korea.

Following this, representatives from both sides signed a memorandum of understanding. Specifically, the two sides will carry out the following activities: exchange of undergraduate and postgraduate students, exchange of scholars and researchers; participation in seminars and workshops; cooperation in research; exchange of publications, academic materials, and other scientific information; and cooperation in ensuring and evaluating the quality of education. The memorandum is valid for 5 years from the date of signing.
