Inha University has had a long-standing relationship with the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. The starting point for this relationship was the personal relationships between professors and researchers of the two universities, and now it has progressed to joint programs on education as well as academic exchanges. The achievements of this relationship are demonstrated through the exchange results of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities with the member schools of Inha University and we hope that this relationship will continue to develop, so that academic development and research can be better and better.

Geographically, Korea and Vietnam are somewhat distant, but they have many similarities, so in the future there are tasks that we can do together. Through the discussion, both sides hope to further develop the good relationship, thereby developing the relationship between the two countries and developing academic exchanges.
