On June 24, 2025, a delegation from National Economics University (NEU), led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong, Vice President of NEU, paid a working visit to Dongseo University (DSU), South Korea. The visit aimed to strengthen cooperation between the two universities, establish strategic directions for the next phase of development, and help advance international education cooperation amid deepening international integration.

Having completed their first two years at NEU and the following two years at DSU, the students officially became international bachelor’s degree graduates.

In particular, at the meeting, the two sides agreed to expand dual-degree opportunities for students in the NEU – DSU program. Alongside their bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, students will have the opportunity to enroll in additional studies and earn a second degree at Dongseo University in such majors as Korean Language and Business, Film and Visual Effects, Computer Science, Game Programming, AI Applications, and Digital Marketing. This is an important step forward, opening flexible and diverse pathways for students’ academic, personal, and career development while providing additional competitive advantages in a globalized environment.

The joint international bachelor’s program in Business Administration between NEU and DSU follows a 2+2 model, in which students study for the first two years in Vietnam and the following two years in South Korea, receiving a degree awarded by Dongseo University. Over a decade of implementation, the program has attracted many outstanding students, providing a multicultural learning environment, rich international experiences, and extensive career opportunities in South Korea and many other countries.
