The discussions centred on the possibility of developing transnational education (TNE) programmes following the 2+2 and 3+1 models, combining periods of study in Vietnam and the United States. If implemented, these models would offer students additional international study pathways. Student exchange programmes were also discussed as a means of broadening academic experiences, encouraging cultural exchange, and helping students adapt to multinational environments.
Further discussions will lay the groundwork for HUTECH and NAU to explore academic collaboration, joint programmes, and student exchanges in greater depth
Both sides agreed to continue sharing information to assess the potential for collaboration and identify suitable opportunities, particularly in joint programmes and student exchanges. They also discussed the possibility of arranging visits and meetings in the coming months to facilitate more detailed discussions and advance potential partnerships.
