From August 2 to 4, 2025, a delegation from the Institute of International Education at National Economics University (NEU) paid an official working visit to British United College (BUC), an international school, and jointly organized a seminar on study opportunities and international scholarships in Vietnam for BUC students in Yangon, Myanmar.

The seminar “Information on International Joint Programs at Vietnam’s Leading University—NEU” drew a large turnout of BUC students and parents in Myanmar.

On the afternoon of August 2, 2025, the seminar “Information on International Joint Programs at Vietnam’s Leading University—National Economics University” attracted considerable interest from BUC parents and students in Yangon, Myanmar. The event marked a strategic step forward in efforts to internationalize Vietnam’s higher education, while opening up opportunities to access global knowledge for Myanmar students—young citizens aspiring to reach out to the world.
To open the program, a BUC representative introduced international study opportunities, scholarships, study conditions, learning environments, facilities, and more in various countries, including information about NEU.

Next, Dr. Trinh Thi Thu Giang, Vice Dean of the Institute of International Education at NEU, presented information to BUC students in Myanmar on international bachelor’s programs, the learning environment, admissions requirements, scholarships, facilities, and more at NEU.

NEU’s international joint programs are designed to meet international standards and taught entirely in English by foreign lecturers and NEU’s leading, experienced lecturers, offering promising international study opportunities at highly affordable costs for Myanmar students. The educational model at the Institute of International Education combines theory with practical projects, helping students develop skills for working in a global environment. Students also have opportunities to transfer to partner universities in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and many other countries. The learning environment at the Institute of International Education is also highly internationalized, with a wide range of vibrant academic and extracurricular activities that enable students to develop both their knowledge and skills comprehensively.

In addition to providing information on international joint bachelor’s programs, the seminar offered an interactive forum to address all questions from Myanmar students directly. The seminar left BUC students with a deep impression of Vietnam as a beautiful, culturally rich country and concluded with a lively exchange of questions about admission review requirements, study pathways, scholarship opportunities, career prospects after graduation, and more.

The program draws interest from BUC students in Myanmar regarding admissions requirements, scholarship opportunities, and facilities at NEU.

As part of the working trip, the delegation from NEU’s Institute of International Education visited BUC’s headquarters and teaching facilities in Yangon for a working session on the morning of August 4, 2025. During the visit, the Institute’s leadership and delegation members had the opportunity to learn more about study conditions and facilities and speak directly with BUC students and lecturers.

A BUC lecturer shared impressions of a previous study experience in Vietnam: “I pursued graduate studies in Vietnam and was deeply impressed by both the people and the study conditions there. Not only did I have a wonderful learning experience in Vietnam, but I also grew very fond of the hospitable, friendly Vietnamese people. I always received enthusiastic support from friends and lecturers throughout my studies in Hanoi. I hope that in the near future, our students will have the opportunity to experience studying in an environment that meets international standards in Vietnam at a highly affordable cost.”

With this milestone in Myanmar, NEU and the Institute of International Education continue to affirm their long-term vision for internationalizing education, opening doors to knowledge for countries in Southeast Asia and beyond. In the coming period, similar engagement activities will continue in strategic markets such as Uzbekistan, Thailand, and Indonesia. The Institute of International Education hopes to soon welcome more outstanding young people from Myanmar—new representatives of a generation of global citizens who are confident, resilient, and ready to integrate. This also demonstrates the Institute’s ongoing efforts to provide an international educational environment right in Vietnam, where students from around the world can learn and develop together and share the value of knowledge across all geographical boundaries.
