In March 2018, students who specialize in Hospitality and Tourism Management from HUTECH Institute of International Education (HIIE) started their exchange semester in Bangkok University (BU). This trip with a variety of interesting activities was organized by HUTECH Institute of International Education and Bangkok University.
HUTECH Institute of International Education has been organizing many exchange semesters with well-known and prestigious universities from many parts of the world in order that students are more likely to experience international education systems. Last March, under the cooperation between HIIE and BU, 43 students from the department of Hospitality and Tourism Management were sent to Bangkok to start their academic semester.

Led by MA. Dinh Hai Yen-Vice Director of HIIE, these 43 students spent 3 days sightseeing Bangkok before the exchange semester officially began.

Studying in Bangkok University, students had to adapt themselves in an international studying background, meaning that all lectures are delivered in English. Furthermore, they had many opportunities to make friends with other enthusiastic and energetic students coming from other countries.
After this semester, these students would return home and continue their studying at HUTECH. All subjects finished from the exchange semester are officially accepted, making sure that they are able to complete their scheduled studying plan.

According to MA. Ngo Tran Minh Nhat, lecturer of HIIE, this exchange program would help students experience an international education system and they would be more likely to improve their English skills through interesting lessons taught in English, supporting students’ present major as well as their future jobs.
The students will also receive a chance to explore Bangkok City
This May, HIIE is carrying out the enrollment for the sophomores who are following the formal training and from the department of Hospitality and Tourism Management.
The program will expand to open for more HUTECH students this May
It is believed that with a keen spirit of learning, confidence and enthusiasm, HIIE students engaging in this exchange semester would make good impression on all lecturers from BU and they themselves would achieve a lot of success from this trip.
