Towards the milestone of its 50th anniversary of establishment and development, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) is launching a Series of 50+ Inspirational Glo-cal Classes, simultaneously inviting experts, managers, and entrepreneurs to participate in teaching and sharing as UEH Practical Lecturers, contributing to strengthening the connection between academic knowledge and professional practice.
50+ Inspiring Glo-cal Classes Program
Promoting the Glo-cal Education Model at UEH
Nearly half a century since its establishment and development, UEH has become a key national public university, holding prestige and quality, and belonging to the 501+ leading universities worldwide (THE Ranking).
Implementing the Multidisciplinary and Sustainable University Strategy, UEH defines Glo-cal Education as a differentiated educational model, connecting global thinking with local context and development needs. Accordingly, training programs are designed to link academic knowledge with market practice, while encouraging learners to apply interdisciplinary knowledge to solve socio-economic problems.
Inspiring Glo-cal Classes aiming at linking academic knowledge with market practice
The Series of 50+ Inspiring Glo-cal Classes is being implemented to gradually transform courses at UEH towards greater practicality, through the participation of experts from businesses, organizations, and external agencies.
Program of 50+ Inspiring Glo-cal Classes: Connecting Academic Knowledge with Practice
The Glo-cal classes are developed with the objective of enhancing applicability in training, with the following key characteristics:
- Participation of experts in the field from businesses, organizations, or external agencies outside UEH
- Class content connecting academic theory with practical issues, encouraging integration of topics on sustainable development, social responsibility, and global context
- Students undertake exercises, projects, or practical case analyses, applying interdisciplinary knowledge to solve problems
- Class output is a major assignment or project, demonstrating student engagement in solving practical issues at businesses, localities, or communities
The Glo-cal classes are implemented across UEH’s 12 training fields (corresponding to 57 training programs), aiming to provide a learning experience linked to practice and help students directly access professional perspectives from experts in various fields.

Connecting Practical Experts in the Glo-cal Classroom
Concurrently with implementing the class series, UEH is developing a team of UEH Practical Lecturers – experienced experts, managers, and entrepreneurs who participate in teaching, sharing, and accompanying learners. This force contributes to bringing practical issues of businesses, localities, and the market into the classroom, thereby helping students access multi-dimensional professional perspectives and enhance their ability to apply knowledge to solve real-world problems.
Experts can participate in the program through two forms of part-time collaboration: Senior Industry Fellow and Industry Fellow. Participation is flexible according to specific courses, topics, or projects, aligned with the expertise and work schedules of the experts.
Accompanying with UEH as Practical Lecturers
Through the participation of this practical lecturer team, UEH expects to create a learning environment where academic knowledge is closely connected with professional experience, while expanding the cooperative network between the university, business community, and domestic and international organizations.
Interested experts can learn more details about 54 proposed class topics scheduled for implementation in 2026 at the Brochure UEH 50+ Inspiring Glo-cal Classes.
