Continuing our collaboration with Wismar University (Germany).

During the meeting, Associate Professor Pham Quang Minh briefly introduced the history of training and research at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, highlighting its status as a leading institution for social sciences and humanities education in Vietnam. The university currently has numerous collaborative relationships with German foundations such as DAAD, KAS, Rosa Lumxembourgh, and the Goethe Institute.

Professor Jeffrey Marc Peck welcomed the proposal from Associate Professor Pham Quang Minh and stated that Wismar University wishes to learn more about the activities of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. In particular, he proposed developing a joint training program in several fields such as computer science, library and information science, information management, quality management, etc. Accordingly, students from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities would study one semester in Vietnam and one semester in Germany, then complete a master's thesis to earn 30 credits under the ECTS system. In addition, Wismar also proposed a distance learning program in computer technology and business.

Wismar University of Applied Sciences was established in 2004, offering distance education and certification training in the fields of technology, economics, and design at both Bachelor's and Master's levels.
