Toward the 50th milestone, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) officially launches the program “UEH 50+ Global Partners in 5 Continents – Embracing Global Connection,” to connect and develop comprehensive cooperation with international partners across 5 continents.
UEH’s Internationalization and Global Vision
The UEH 50+ Global Partners in 5 Continents program is a strategic initiative for the 2026 – 2030 period that aims to expand and deepen UEH’s international cooperation network by connecting partners across 5 continents.
Accordingly, UEH aims to establish and develop collaboration with at least 50 international partners, including: (1) universities ranked among the Top 250 in Asia and Top 500 globally (according to QS, THE, and ARWU); (2) reputable academic organizations, professional associations, and multinational research and consulting institutions; and (3) other strategic partners aligned with UEH’s development orientation.
The program focuses on building an international education partner network in both quantity and quality, gradually realizing UEH’s vision of maintaining a Top 250 position in Asia by 2030 and reaching the Top 100 in Asia by 2045.
From Connection to Co-Creating an International Academic Ecosystem
A key feature of UEH’s approach is the shift toward co-creating academic and practical value within a sustainable cooperation ecosystem.
In training, UEH develops double degrees, articulation, and offshore programs, while also coordinating the implementation of high-quality human resource development programs. In academic exchange, UEH promotes credit transfer student exchange programs, short-term programs, summer camps, and faculty-led study abroad experiences, accompanied by scholarship policies for international student exchange.
In research, UEH intensifies joint research projects, forms international research groups, co-organizes academic seminars, and attracts international scholars and experts (“UEH100” – Program on Attracting Top-Tier Faculty and Researchers). At the same time, cultural exchange activities are expanded through competitions and international experiential programs, fostering a multicultural learning environment.
UEH Flag Journey: A Global Connection Ritual
Working sessions with partners are held flexibly in various formats: in person at UEH, overseas, or online. Each meeting is an opportunity for the two sides to exchange views, reach consensus, sign agreements, and implement specific cooperation activities in training, research, and academic exchange. In particular, UEH conducts a flag-exchange ritual between the University and international partners: the UEH Flag Journey.
This activity is both symbolic and marks each milestone in UEH’s internationalization journey, aiming to create long-term value for learners, local communities, the nation, and society.
Since February 2026, UEH has continuously engaged in meetings, discussions, and partnership agreements with a range of notable international partners, including Massey University (New Zealand), the University of Queensland and Flinders University (Australia), Oxford EMI (United Kingdom), the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) (USA), and leading universities in Taiwan. These activities have focused on exchanging orientations to strengthen cooperation in training, enhance English-medium teaching capacity, develop international programs, and connect with global professional organizations.
