During the visit, Minister Greg Hands and the British Ambassador to Vietnam Gareth Ward visited BUV Ecopark campus.

 

They also attended an online meeting with the 2021 British Ambassador’s Scholarship candidates and held a panel discussion with BUV students.

 

Minister Hands and the Ambassador opened the inauguration ceremony for the expanded learning area of BUV’s Ecopark Campus and toured the newly finished campus expansion which includes modern lecture halls and multi-functional classrooms.

 

With the integration of state-of-the-art educational technologies, BUV will provide an even greater array of study opportunities in an international-standard environment for the young generation of Vietnam.

 

 

Located within the BUV Ecopark campus, which holds a total investment of up to $70 million for its three phases, the newly inaugurated learning area, including specialised practice rooms for such fields as Tourism Management, International Hospitality Management, Computer Science, and Computer Games Design and Programming.

 

The campus is fully equipped with the world's most advanced computer systems and equipment.

 

The area can now offer students high-quality learning spaces to encourage creative conversation between students and faculty, inspire students to explore and improve their capacity for impactful study and research.

According to Minister Hands, with the UK - Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA), which officially came into force this May, the focus of the agreement in 2021 is on strengthening business ties, eliminating trade barriers, and increasing access to services including education.

 

Education holds a special place in the relationship between the two countries, with the UK being among the top five destinations for Vietnamese students to study overseas alongside holding the highest number of joint educational programmes with Vietnam.

 

BUV currently offers 11 undergraduate programmes and 01 MBA programme, fully taught in English, by 100 percent international faculty and awarded by not only BUV but also two prestigious UK institutions: Staffordshire University (SU) and University of London (UoL).

 

BUV's training programmes and lecturers are regularly assessed by both universities to ensure that they meet the exacting standards, which are governed by UK Government and endorsed by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) who grants permission for degrees to be offered and ensures that the quality of the institutions and their awards are of the highest level.
