Experience the Vibrant Exchange of Cultures: VinUniversity welcomes HKUST Students and Staff
In light of the successful outcomes of previous international exchange programs, this summer, VinUniversity is once again extending a warm welcome to a distinguished delegation of students from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology | HKUST (#40 QS Ranking, 2023).
The students from the HKUST delegation, specializing in various fields such as Business, Science, Engineering, and more, exuded enthusiasm and raised their expectations for this trip. Not only will it serve as a valuable learning experience, providing them with insights into Vietnam’s economic development, advancements in science and technology, and the education landscape, but it also presents a unique opportunity to foster cultural diversity and delve into unexplored facets of Vietnamese culture that were previously unfamiliar to them.
From July 29 to August 27, VinUni embarked on a month-long journey alongside HKUST, offering an array of exceptional learning experiences that unfold within our campus. Complementing this academic enrichment are hands-on and immersive encounters during their exploration of Hanoi, the storied thousand-year-old capital.
