As one of Vietnam’s leading science and engineering universities, HUST prioritizes internationalization, preparing students with not only technical knowledge but also global awareness, intercultural skills, and creative thinking.

During their three-day visit, University of Tennessee students will attend classes, tour the campus, engage with faculty and students across various disciplines, and visit key industrial partners. These activities offer a firsthand look at Vietnam’s dynamic science, technology, and industry landscape and demonstrate how the education system at HUST integrates with the country’s innovation ecosystem.

Prof. Yem encouraged students from both universities to make the most of their time together—sharing stories, asking questions, and building lasting friendships. He emphasized that despite their diverse backgrounds, students share common dreams, challenges, and passions, and that HUST is a place where learning goes beyond the classroom to shape global citizens.

He also acknowledged the University of Tennessee’s efforts in expanding students’ global perspectives and fostering a long-term partnership with HUST.
