HUTECH and Tongmyong University continue developing joint education and research initiatives
- 17/07/2026
Developing highly skilled talent in emerging fields while expanding international research collaboration continues to be a shared priority for Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) and Tongmyong University (South Korea). These directions were further advanced during a working session held on July 15.
Representing Tongmyong University were Mr. Dennis Kim, Marketing Manager of the Office of International Affairs, and Prof. Shin Sanghoon, Logistics Program Manager
During the meeting, both universities focused on plans to develop an internationally oriented K-Beauty (Aesthetic Technology) program. Under the proposal currently being explored, the program would be offered through two study pathways: a 4+0 model and a 2+2 model. In the 4+0 pathway, students would complete the entire program at HUTECH. In the 2+2 pathway, students would study for two years at HUTECH before transferring to Tongmyong University for the remaining two years.

The K-Beauty program is expected to provide students with a Korean standard learning environment
This initiative opens the way for the development of an academic program aligned with Korean educational standards while addressing the growing demand for highly qualified professionals in the aesthetic technology industry. Through the program, students will gain specialized knowledge, practical skills, and professional competencies in an internationally oriented learning environment, enhancing their readiness for the rapidly evolving job market.
In addition, HUTECH and Tongmyong University agreed to continue preparations for the International Research Network Conference, which is scheduled to take place in November 2026. The conference aims to serve as an academic platform bringing together researchers, faculty members, and experts from diverse disciplines, creating opportunities to expand research networks, promote scholarly publications, and strengthen collaboration among higher education institutions.
