HCM City pledges to back Fulbright University Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City will provide all necessary support for the establishment of Fulbright University Vietnam (FUV) which is due to open during the visit of US President Barack Obama to Vietnam in May this year .
FUV, which will be based in Ho Chi Minh City, is one of the city’s key projects that are expected to enhance local higher education quality, Thang said.
US$70 million will be invested in FUV in its first five years, with the first class of students slated for enrollment in September.
The country’s first private, non-profit institution of higher education will use the Fulbright Economics Teaching Programme, a public policy master’s programme that Harvard’s Kennedy School established in 1994 with the University of Economics, Ho Chi Minh City.
