Speaking at a ceremony marking the beginning of the 2015-2016 academic year of the university in the southern province of Binh Duong on Friday, VFF President Nhan expressed his hope that the educational establishment would help increase the position of Vietnam’s education sector in the region and bring it to meet international standards.
The VGU is one of the first new-model public education establishments in Vietnam. It was founded in 2008 in Binh Duong province under a cooperation agreement between Vietnam and the German Federal State of Hessen. It has built 17 modern laboratories for 11 training programmes focusing on robots, automation, technical calculation, pattern manufacturing, technology assembly and traffic management, among others.
