DUE seeks to expand academic partnership with South Korea’s Kyung Hee University

On November 9, 2026, as part of an official working visit to South Korea, a delegation from The University of Danang - University of Economics, led by its President, Prof. Le Van Huy, visited and held a working meeting with Prof. Kim Jin-Sang, President of Kyung Hee University, to explore opportunities for cooperation in education, scientific research and high-quality human resource development.

Kyung Hee University is one of South Korea's well-established higher education institutions, ranked 237th globally in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2027 and 309th in the QS World University Rankings 2027. The university has recognised strengths in business and management, tourism and hospitality, medicine and other fields, supported by an extensive international academic network.

During the meeting, representatives of both universities discussed strategic directions for cooperation, focusing on three key areas:

Student exchange: Promoting semester exchange programmes and academic exchanges to create opportunities for students from both universities to study and gain international educational experience.

Academic programme transfer: Exploring opportunities to transfer and deliver Kyung Hee University's advanced academic programmes at DUE, particularly in economics and management. The initiative aims to broaden access to international-standard education for students in Vietnam.

Postgraduate education and research cooperation: Strengthening collaboration in master's and doctoral training, academic exchanges, joint research and international scientific publications, contributing to improvements in educational quality and research capacity at both institutions.

The meeting marks a positive step in the partnership between DUE and Kyung Hee University, opening up prospects for international academic programmes, deeper research collaboration and stronger higher education links between Vietnam and South Korea.
