Ms. Hanh said: “We are well aware of the huge requirement to graduate a well-qualified workforce in IT and Tourism in Vietnam, which requires universities nationwide to improve their quality of education. With the support of our WUSC volunteers, DTU lecturers and students will become better qualified to develop and focus on their plans for future careers.”
Over the years, DTU has partnered with many well-known universities and organizations worldwide to transfer their advanced academic programs, send students overseas for further study and develop the On-Site Study-Abroad program. With more diversified education programs, advanced teaching methods and increased teaching capacity, DTU will benefit substantially in the near future.
