Dr. Hoang Ngoc Nhung, also Deputy Head of the Department, shared insights on the international projects HUTECH has participated in, highlighting the UK TNE Development Project and the Gender Equality initiative supported by the British Council.

On behalf of the University of Nottingham, Ms. Kylie Colvin, Chief Strategy and Operations Officer, presented the university’s academic programs. As one of the UK’s leading universities, Nottingham is globally renowned for its excellence across a wide range of disciplines, including Arts and Humanities, Languages, Engineering, Sciences, Medicine, and Social Sciences. The programs are distinguished by their academic rigor and practical applicability, meeting workforce demands in the digital era.

The majority of the meeting focused on potential collaboration models. Both HUTECH and the University of Nottingham agreed that joint undergraduate or foundation programs are viable options. These initiatives would ensure that Vietnamese students receive degrees equivalent to those awarded to students studying in the UK or Malaysia. The University of Nottingham’s campuses in the UK, China, and Malaysia provide opportunities for students to study in multiple countries. Additionally, both institutions aim to develop flexible programs that allow students to choose study locations based on their individual circumstances, prioritizing key fields such as business, engineering, and computer science.
The meeting also covered student exchange programs. HUTECH warmly welcomed students from the University of Nottingham to study and experience Vietnamese culture while expressing a strong desire to launch short-term programs for HUTECH students at Nottingham. These opportunities would enable HUTECH students to immerse themselves in the rich academic traditions of a historic institution.
Dr. Hoang Ngoc Nhung shares HUTECH’s experience in fostering trust with international partners
In terms of postgraduate studies, HUTECH expressed interest in collaborating on master’s programs in TESOL and proposed potential scholarship packages for the university’s faculty and staff. Dr. Hoang Ngoc Nhung also highlighted HUTECH’s experience in implementing joint programs, citing the partnership with the University of Lincoln as an example to build trust with international partners.
The meeting created opportunities for learning and research for HUTECH students
At the conclusion of the meeting, HUTECH and the University of Nottingham agreed to maintain communication to finalize collaborative ideas, aiming to effectively implement projects and training programs. Both parties committed to working closely to develop sustainable education models, providing high-quality learning and research opportunities for students and faculty at both institutions.
