The British Council Vietnam would like to invite UK Business and Management Schools to participate in the UK Business Schools Mission – Vietnam March 2019.
The event aims to help participating UK Business and Management Schools showcase the excellence of UK business and management education to prospective Vietnamese undergraduate and postgraduate students, generating leads to student recruitment.
The event also aims to provide opportunities for participating institutions to establish relationships with local academic contacts from business universities, research institutes, executive education organisations and professional bodies. This will enable them to explore partnership opportunities including curriculum development, student and academic exchange, research and TNE development.
EVENT FORMAT
The event will focus on academic lecture tours for profile raising, combined with student recruitment elements and partnership exploration opportunities. Key activities include:
• Introductory lectures to high-school students, followed by individual counselling
• Academic lectures to undergraduate/post-graduate students and/or academic staff at universities and executive education/research institutes
• Public seminars followed by individual counselling
• Partnership discussions with local faculties and researchers
• Market briefing and networking events with an introduction to the UK-Vietnam Higher Education Partnership Fund.
Participating UK B&M schools are requested to send an academic who can deliver a business lecture and a member of their partnership team. Ideally, they should also bring a staff member from their international office to conduct student counselling at public seminars and any necessary follow-up activities.
Participating UK B&M schools are advised to nominate academics from the suggested business and management specialisations below. These are sought after by the human resource departments of local employers and are also of international partnership interest to local institutions in Vietnam:
1. International Business Management
2. Logistics and Supply Chain Management
3. Sales and Marketing
4. Finance and Banking
5. Tourism and Hospitality management
