Vietnam-Germany University advised to focus more on science research
State President Truong Tan Sang visited Vietnam-Germany University in southern Binh Duong province on October 4 on the occassion of celebrating the 40th founding anniversary of the Vietnam-Germany diplomatic ties.
The Vietnam-Germany University (VGU) is one of the five training projects that Vietnam has cooperated with foreign partners.
It was founded in 2008 on an area of 50.5 ha in Binh Duong province and was financed 200 million USD by preferential loans of the World Bank, under a cooperation agreement between Vietnam and the German Federal State of Hessen.
According to the VGU's managing board, the unit has trained nearly 1,500 students through 11 training programmes in English and German so far, focusing on science-technology, engineering, information technology, business management.
The VGU currently offers Bachelor’s and Master’s courses, covering the fields of engineering and natural sciences, economics and management, which are suitable with Vietnam’s development and international integration demand.
It has targeted to raise the number of students to 5,000 by 2020 and 12,000 by 2030.
The number of students who found jobs after graduating at present has accounted for 91% of graduaters.
During the working session with the VGU's managing board, President Truong Tan Sang praised the university's efforts during its construction and development, adding that the university should provide international-standard training for not only local students but also those from other Southeast Asian countries.
The President noted that the university should focus more on practice, technology application, and science research, aiming to produce a workforce of high calibre meeting Vietnam’s development goals.
This should be viewed as a breakthrough in the country’s university and postgraduate education reform effort in service of national industrialisation and modernisation by 2020, the State leader stressed.
