Promoting joint training programs with Catholic University of Korea

After the success of the Scientific Conference to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Department of Korean Studies' establishment, LHU on January 16, 2024, received and worked with a delegation from Catholic University of Korea (CUK).

The delegation was represented by Mr. Park Heechan - Head of General Graduate School; Mr. Kim Joon Suk - Head of Office of International Affairs; Ms. Koo Min Ji - Director of Korean Language Education Center. On behalf of LHU, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoang Oanh - Head of Office of International Affairs; Mr. Hoang Tien Dung - Deputy Head of Office of International Affairs; Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhu Thuong - Vice Dean of Faculty of Oriental Studies; Ms. Do Thi Thuy - Head of Department of Korean Studies and Ms. Nguyen Hoang Kim Ngan - Chief Specialist of Department of Korean Studies warmly welcomed the delegation.

At the meeting, the two sides introduced their training programs, at the same time discussed cooperation potentials on exchanging lecturers and students; establishing a scholarship fund; implementing 2+2, 3+2, master's, doctoral programs... not only for Korean Studies majors but also for others.

In addition, LHU and CUK expressed their desires to build a strong, long-term relationship to bring many benefits and opportunities to students of both sides.

The year 2024 marks the 32nd anniversary of Vietnam-Korea diplomatic ties. Over the past 32 years, Vietnam-Korea relations have developed rapidly in many fields, in which education and training hold an important position and have achieved many remarkable achievements. In particular, during the 20 years of the Department of Korean Studies' establishment and development, LHU has established cooperation ties with 16 Korean educational organizations and units, aiming to build a comprehensive strategic partnership in the future.

Regarding joint training, a number of universities in Korea and Vietnam have currently implemented the "Regulations on mutual recognition of scores", typically LHU and Busan University of Foreign Studies have implemented "Double degree" regulation (joint degree). Accordingly, LHU students will study phase 1 (2 - 3 years in Vietnam) and transfer to phase 2 (2 years in Korea). Hopefully, this regulation will be implemented between LHU and CUK in the coming time.

The establishment of training support and scholarship funds between Korean training facilities and LHU contributes to promoting educational cooperation between the two countries. Promoting cooperation and joint training programs helps LHU students access one of the world's advanced educational environments, contributing to building a better Vietnamese education system.
