Global Future Strategy Advanced Management Program: Vietnam–Korea Educational Cooperation
The closing ceremony of the 2025 Global Future Strategy Advanced Management Program was held on June 27. Jointly organized by the USSH, VNU-HCM, and Seoul National University (South Korea), the program aims to strengthen strategic management competencies for Korean executives working in Vietnam.
The program transcends a typical executive training course, serving as an interdisciplinary academic platform that integrates management principles, sustainable development perspectives, corporate culture, and an in-depth understanding of the Vietnamese context. Furthermore, it has emerged as a pioneering model bridging academic knowledge and practical application between the Vietnamese and Korean education systems.
Speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Ngo Thi Phuong Lan, USSH President, expressed profound appreciation for the journey undertaken by the learners in collaboration with the university and its partners. She also emphasized the program’s value not only in academic content but also in fostering critical thinking, intercultural communicative competence, and long-term professional networks.
