Discussing the Transnational Education Program under the TNE ASEAN - Australia model

In the series of events before the exhibition, MSc. Bui Pham Lan Phuong, Vice President of Van Lang University, participated in the ASEAN - Australia TNE Workshop and discussed hot topics related to transnational education under the TNE model with experts and representatives of universities in Australia and Asia.

"Vietnam is a country with a young population; this is a potential opportunity for Australian universities to exchange cooperation and develop training. Currently, the TNE training model attracts the attention of many parents and students because of the value of international learning experience, good career opportunities after graduation, and globally recognized qualifications.", said MSc. Bui Pham Lan Phuong.

Continuing at the series of conferences, Dr. Ngo Quang Trung – Vice President, Director of the International Education Institute, and MSc. Nguyen Thi Kim Lan – Deputy Director of the International Student Support Center, on behalf of Van Lang University, participated in the seminar "When diversity becomes mainstream – Contextualizing transnational curriculum", to examine the increase in the diversity of students enrolled in transnational education programs in many aspects and provide solutions to adjust the curriculum to suit the context of each country by applying the TNE model.

Dr. Ngo Quang Trung gave his thoughts on the TNE education model that many parents are interested in because of the quality of training, career opportunities after graduation, globally recognized qualifications, and many cultural integration activities and experiences for students.

"Transnational education programs will be balanced and adjusted in the teaching content to bring the TNE model closer to students and the training environment. Up until now, the International Education Institute of Van Lang University has implemented six training programs according to the TNE model, including the International Bachelor of Digital Marketing, Event Management, International Business, Finance, Software Engineering, and Master of Digital Business Administration. In addition, many experiential activities are organized for international students at Van Lang, such as the International Debate Championship (IDEBATE) and the summer experience program SDG Summer School in Vietnam", said Dr. Ngo Quang Trung.
