Implemented on the foundation of collaboration between the National Economics University and French academic partners, CFVG’s academic programs have developed for over three decades in Vietnam. Through this, CFVG has gradually affirmed its role as a Vietnam-France academic bridge, contributing to the exchange of knowledge, management experience, and the training of high-quality human resources in an international environment.

In his congratulatory speech to the new students, Mr. Didier Le Bret – French Ambassador to Vietnam, and Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Anh – Vice President of the National Economics University, both emphasized the role of CFVG in promoting educational and training cooperation between Vietnam and France.

Over more than three decades of formation and development, CFVG has become one of the symbols of Vietnam-France academic cooperation, creating an environment for generations of students to access international knowledge and management methods, while also contributing to expanding the network of connections between the academic community, businesses, and managers of the two countries.

Enhancing International Connections, Bringing the Vietnamese Experience Closer to French Students

Alongside 120 new MBA and MMS students, CFVG Hanoi is also delighted to welcome 21 students from France participating in the international exchange program during the Fall semester of 2026.

The students come from prestigious French higher education institutions and business schools such as IESEG School of Management, NEOMA Business School, and IMT Nord Europe, within the framework of CFVG’s international collaboration network.

For French students, the exchange program at CFVG not only provides an opportunity to study and experience the educational environment in Vietnam but also serves as an occasion to gain deeper insights into Vietnam’s history, culture, and people through cultural exchange activities, cultural experiences, company visits, and exploring Vietnam’s socio-economic realities.

With the participation of students from various countries, CFVG creates a multicultural learning environment where Vietnamese and international students have the opportunity to interact and share different perspectives and experiences.

Continuing the Over 30-Year Vietnam-France Collaboration Journey

Building on the strong partnership between the National Economics University and French partners, CFVG has been playing a crucial role as a bridge in education, training, and the development of high-quality human resources. Welcoming the new cohort of CFVG students along with international students from France continues to affirm NEU’s orientation towards internationalization in education, while also contributing to strengthening and developing educational and academic cooperation between Vietnam and France.

Equipped with knowledge, a spirit of integration, and an international network, CFVG students of the 2026–2028 cohort are expected to continue to uphold the values of the CFVG community, make positive contributions to the development of organizations, businesses, and society, and serve as bridges enhancing cooperation and understanding between Vietnam and France.
