"I like the practical teaching method, emphasizing practical application. In Taiwan, everyone is encouraged to participate in discussions, contribute ideas and learn from each other. The cultural diversity in the classroom also enriches my learning experience," Nhi said.
Sharing after the trip, student Do Truong Nhat Quang, majoring in logistics technology, said that the most impressive thing about coming to Taiwan was the very fresh and pleasant air.
"In the first semester, I studied basic subjects in Vietnam. In the second semester, I was lucky to have the opportunity to "go abroad". Although I had a good foundation in English, I still felt "stuck" when studying in Taiwan. I studied 100% in English with international professors as lecturers" - Quang excitedly said.
Lecturers combine theory and practical machines to help students better visualize CNC technology.

A group of students from Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics revealed their secret to saving money while studying abroad. Specifically, the group uses a spending management app, stays in dormitories, goes grocery shopping and cooks together, etc. The money saved after the semester is used to visit and experience new services, enjoy delicious food and Taiwanese culture.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Truong Thinh, Director of the Institute of Intelligent and Interactive Technology - University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, said that 2024 is the first year to organize an international semester for first-year students. Notably, students do not have to pay any additional fees.
Within the framework of the program, participating students will study specialized subjects in two majors: robotics and artificial intelligence, logistics technology. Within 18 weeks, students must complete 6 modules including: Machine design, physics experiments, physics, engineering mechanics, mathematics for engineers, and technical economics.

In addition to academic activities at school, students also participate in extracurricular activities such as visiting businesses, learning Chinese, exchanging and cultural exchanges with students from Taiwan and other countries, etc.
Previously, in June 2024, another group of 31 students majoring in robotics and artificial intelligence, logistics technology, completed an exchange semester with many interesting experiences at Rajamangala University of Technology, Thailand.
Associate Professor - Dr. Thinh commented that international semester programs, exchange semesters, and short-term study exchanges are very necessary.
"After each trip, students' communication skills, problem-solving skills, creative thinking, etc. are significantly improved. Besides the knowledge learned in the classroom, soft skills are very important to help students reach out to the "big sea"" - Associate Professor - Dr. Thinh said.
According to Associate Professor Dr. Thinh, not only Vietnamese students come to study abroad, many students from Australia, Japan, and South Korea also come to Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics for internships. In particular, the research topics of international students are all related to Vietnamese culture and people.
