In a visit to the Vietnam-Japan University in May, the Prime Minister of Vietnam stressed the need for the university to design flexible, creative and effective training programmes to suit Vietnam’s demand and meet world quality. He also asked the university to develop visions and skills to students, while combining training with researching and maintain close relations with business community.
According to Prof. Furuta Motoo, Head Master of the university, special features of the Vietnam-Japan University include its focus on researches on high technology and inter-sectoral science, areas that are much needed by Vietnam.
Vietnam-Japan University was established on July 21, 2014, aiming to become a facility to regional and international standards, where students enjoy the world’s education advances as well as strengths and values of both Vietnam and Japan’s education sector. The facility has been assisted by 30 famous Japanese universities, including Tokyo, Osaka and Tsukuba Universities as well as great attention from the Hanoi National University.
