Speaking at the program, Dr. Nguyen Huu Phu, DTU Provost, said: “On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the Federal Republic of Germany, we are honored to welcome the ‘Career Bus’ to DTU today. This is a valuable opportunity for DTU students to know more about German culture, education, and career opportunities. With the motto ‘All for the study and employment rights of students,’ DTU continually strives to expand international cooperation, exemplified by events such as the German-Vietnam Science Day 2023, and by facilitating opportunities for German students to study and exchange at our university. We sincerely thank the German Embassy and related organizations for organizing this meaningful program. We wish for the partnership between our two countries to grow sustainably, contributing to the mutual development in all fields.”
With the aim of bringing Vietnamese students closer to the education system, culture, and career opportunities in the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Career Bus offered a range of engaging interactive activities and experiences, attracting a large number of DTU students.
