EIU Leadership and AU Leadership Sign Cooperation Agreement on Student Exchange Programs

Under the agreement, Asia University (AU) committed to sending students annually from February to March to EIU to study English and learn about Vietnamese culture through collaborative cultural exchange activities. In return, EIU will host AU students for internships at the Industry 4.0 Innovation Center (IIC), the Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC), Becamex Tokyu, and Becamex Hotel. Additionally, online academic exchanges in Business Administration are among the discussed and agreed-upon activities to be implemented soon.

Building on the success of the agreement with Asia University (AU), EIU continued its working visit in Japan by meeting with Tokyo City University (TCU), Tokyo University of Technology (TUT), and ARIS, a cybersecurity company. During these meetings, EIU shared with its partners details about ongoing and upcoming engineering projects.

At TCU, both institutions agreed to expand their online sharing programs, focusing on the topic of the circular economy. In the near future, EIU plans to send students to participate in a 1–2 week exchange program at TCU. Conversely, TCU will organize programs for its students to come to EIU to study English and engage in internships at EIU’s projects and partner enterprises.
