Following the MoU, the French partners plan to launch a Master of Business Administration (MBA) course, updated technology applications, innovation research and scientific information exchange.

As scheduled, Vietnamese and French students can enjoy education exchange programmes in both Đà Nẵng and France.

Đà Nẵng University is one of the top 50 universities in ASEAN, and a key human resource centre for the central and Central Highlands regions.

The university also plans to establish a teacher training college for engineering and the Việt Nam-United Kingdom University in the central city from next year.

The Đà Nẵng University Village project, which was planned in 1997 with total investment of VNĐ1.7 trillion (US$75.2 million), will resume construction later this year after a 20-year delay.

The university, which has developed 12 college-level education centres in the last 20 years, trains 90,000 students in technology, engineering, science, economics, trade, finance, foreign languages, medicine, culture, tourism and media studies per year. — VNS
