DTU provided students the opportunity to take part in an exchange
program called “Passage to Asean 2013 (P2A)”. The program was hosted by Rangsit
University from 12th to 22nd March 2013. The objective was to enable Architecture and
Construction students to broaden their knowledge after graduation.
Twenty seven
universities from Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia participated in P2A 2013. DTU was the first Vietnamese university to
join the program.

After attending a two-day seminar at Rangsit University, the
students started their journey to Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. On arrival,
they toured tourism sites famous for their architecture. Students of
Architecture and Construction were able to learn about well-known buildings,
cultures and people. They visited places such as the Twin Towers and the Old
Town in Malaysia and the Lion Fountain in Singapore.
Hoang Mien Vien of DTU K17CSUKTR
remarked:” I have many interesting
memories of the trip. I met people from Thailand and Cambodia during the trip,
who were very friendly and sociable. We had an interesting time talking about
our different cultures. This experience will be particularly useful to me in my
ongoing studies and future career”.
The 2013 P2A program inspired a love for Architecture
and Construction. The program also cemented the relationships between students
of the different ASEAN countries.
