“This exhibition is a great opportunity for Vietnamese students who wish to study abroad and work in Taiwan, providing more chances to learn, interact and connect with universities – a big preparation for their future" - Prof.Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan emphasized. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Minh - Deputy Director of the Department of International Cooperation, Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam, informed that every year, Taiwan's education management agency provides many long-term scholarships and Chinese language scholarships for Vietnamese students to study in Taiwan. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Minh shared: "Hopefully through this collaboration, both sides will press onwards in promoting Vietnam - Taiwan university education cooperation." In recent years, economic, cultural and educational cooperation between Vietnam and Taiwan has made remarkable progress. Among Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam is one of the most sought-after locations for Taiwanese investors, marking Taiwan as the fourth largest investor in Vietnam. Possessing an advanced education system that meets international standards, Taiwan provides international students with great learning opportunities at more competitive tuition fees than many other education systems in the same region, attracting a large number of Vietnamese students to come and advance their education careers.
According to Mr. Thach Thuy Ky - Chief Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Vietnam, in 2022, 23,728 Vietnamese students were studying in Taiwan, making Vietnam a country with the highest number of international students in Taiwan. “When studying abroad in Taiwan, you can choose a program taught in Chinese or English, or study both languages at the same time. Experience in Taiwan can nurture and promote career development, as well as contribute to the future achievements of students." - Mr. Thach Thuy Ky informed.
Within the framework of the exhibition, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU and several Vietnamese universities signed MOUs with universities in Taiwan on cooperation in training, scientific research, and student/lecturer exchange.
