With around 20,000 postgraduate and undergraduate students, it is one of the biggest universities in terms of enrolment in Malaysia. In total, USM offers 111 full-time programs and 72 e-learning programs at three campuses - a main campus on the island of Penang, a health campus in Kubang Kerian, and an engineering campus in Seri Ampangan. We found that DTU is one of the biggest universities in Central Vietnam. Hopefully, we will broaden our partnership in the near future.”
