In his speech at the seminar, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Huynh Cong Phap expressed his pleasure that VKU, together with Phenikaa University, UEF, and Hutech, was honored to be selected to participate in the development of the UK TNE (Transnational Education) system. This advanced training model meets international standards and contributes to spreading the global education system.

Over the past seven months, the project has achieved encouraging results, from enhancing faculty capabilities, introducing new technologies, to sharing experiences between UK and Vietnamese universities. The TNE system has been widely introduced to lecturers, students, and Vietnamese learners, providing opportunities for learning and international connections.

A highlight of the seminar was the initiative to establish the Vietnam-United Kingdom Transnational Education Consortium, marking an important milestone in connecting Vietnamese universities, UK universities, and educational partners from both countries. The network is expected to contribute positively to enhancing education quality, supporting the development of TNE programs, and creating research collaboration and academic exchanges between the network members, benefiting students, lecturers, and education staff.

With the mission of becoming a leading university in training, researching, and specializing in information technology, communication, and the digital economy, VKU continues to expand international cooperation, bringing many opportunities for study, research, and international exchanges for students and lecturers. Participating in the EmpowerTNE project further solidifies VKU’s pioneering position in global education integration, contributing to the training of high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of the digital economy in the future.
