In his remarks, Dr. Huynh Ngoc Tho warmly welcomed the delegation to VKU and introduced the University’s outstanding achievements in recent years. VKU currently enrolls approximately 8,000 students, with continuously improving admission quality, placing the University among the leading higher education institutions in Central Vietnam in terms of entrance scores.

In addition to its standard academic programs, VKU places special emphasis on developing bilingual programs in English–Vietnamese, Japanese–Vietnamese, and Korean–Vietnamese. These programs aim to equip students with language proficiency and international integration skills. In particular, students enrolled in the Japanese–Vietnamese program are expected to achieve Japanese language proficiency levels ranging from N3 to N2 upon graduation, thereby meeting the recruitment requirements of Japanese enterprises.

Furthermore, VKU is one of the pioneering institutions in Central Vietnam in promoting international cooperation and exchange with partners from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and many other countries through a variety of international programs and projects. These activities are implemented based on VKU’s educational philosophy of “Humanity – Dedication – Liberation,” which places learners at the center and aims to cultivate graduates with professional competence, social responsibility, and a strong commitment to serving the community.

Mr. Mukai Hiroshi speaking on behalf of the delegation

On behalf of the delegation, Mr. Mukai Hiroshi expressed his appreciation for VKU’s warm hospitality and highly valued the cooperation achievements between the two sides over recent years. He also shared that VKU and B-Production had successfully co-organized various professional activities, including a student workshop held last year.

Currently, the company is hosting VKU students as interns and has officially recruited several students following their internship periods. According to the enterprise’s assessment, VKU students demonstrate positive learning attitudes, strong critical thinking skills, and professional working styles, making them well-suited to international business environments.

During the meeting, both parties discussed several future cooperation directions, focusing on promoting the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), expanding internship and employment opportunities for students, and enhancing enterprise participation in the educational process.

In addition, VKU and B-Production explored solutions to strengthen international connectivity, update academic curricula in line with emerging technology trends–particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI)–and develop enterprise collaboration models that provide students with greater opportunities for practical experience, learning, and working in real business environments from an early stage of their university studies.

The meeting was conducted in an open and productive atmosphere, opening up promising prospects for practical cooperation between VKU and Vietnamese as well as Japanese enterprises. This activity reflects VKU’s strategy of strengthening industry engagement, promoting educational internationalization, and enhancing training quality, thereby contributing to the development of high-quality human resources capable of meeting the demands of the digital economy and global integration.
