Expanding International Cooperation with Thai and Canadian Partners

As part of its strategy to internationalise education and broaden its global partnership network, the University of Economics - University of Danang on July 8, 2026, held working sessions with King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB) and representatives from the Consulate General of Canada in Ho Chi Minh City. The meetings aimed to promote student exchanges, internships, training, and scientific research programmes.

During the session with KMUTNB, both sides discussed further implementation of the international internship programme for students. KMUTNB representatives expressed their intention to send four to five students to study and intern at DUE for about three months, focusing on strengths in logistics, accounting-finance and digital marketing. The two parties also agreed to continue working with businesses to expand internship sites, enabling students to experience international working environments in Vietnam across enterprises, hotels, and information technology units.
