On September 24, 2026, the USSH-VNUHCM held a signing ceremony for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with DYM Vietnam Co., Ltd. at Room A.001, Saigon Campus. The partnership focuses on training, practical experience, internships and human resource development, particularly in Japanese Studies and digital transformation.
Speaking at the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Van Quyet, Vice President of USSH-VNUHCM, highlighted the University's large student and academic community, including approximately 20,000 students, graduate students and PhD candidates, as well as around 1,000 faculty members. Within the Faculty of Oriental Studies, Japanese Studies has a long history of development and attracts a large number of learners, providing a strong foundation for closer cooperation with Japanese businesses.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Van Quyet also emphasized digital transformation as an area of growing importance in the University's education and development strategies. Beyond administrative operations, digital transformation is increasingly integrated into learning models and training programs. He noted that the University's educational resources and human capital, combined with DYM Vietnam's expertise and practical experience in digital technology, could provide a foundation for developing practical training and cooperation programs.
Mr. Matsumoto Yuki, Director of DYM Vietnam, hopes that the two sides would build on their respective strengths to develop joint projects. He also discussed potential training programs to provide students with additional professional and technological skills, particularly for students with a strong foundation in Japanese who wish to develop expertise in technology-related fields.
From the academic perspective, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Tuan, Chair of Oriental Studies, noted that the partnership would create opportunities for both the University and DYM Vietnam while giving students greater access to real-world working environments. He proposed cooperation between the Faculty of Oriental Studies and the company through talks on Japanese corporate culture in the context of digital transformation, company visits for faculty members and students, and expanded internship opportunities for Japanese Studies students and graduate students.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Van Quyet also shared the University's experience in working with Korean businesses to provide approximately six-month professional technology training programs for students with foreign language backgrounds. The two sides discussed training models that combine foreign language proficiency with professional expertise. Upon completion, students receive certificates and opportunities to access employment at partner companies or other businesses.
The MOU provides a framework for USSH-VNUHCM and DYM Vietnam to further develop specific cooperation activities, particularly in training, company visits, internships and human resource development. The partnership is expected to strengthen university-industry connections and create more opportunities for students to apply their knowledge, gain practical experience and prepare for their future careers.
