Founded in 2010, KLU is a young and dynamic private university with strengths in logistics and supply chain management, business administration, business analytics, and data science. In the discussion, KLU Rector Prof. Andreas Kaplan shared that it is time for KLU to further strengthen its international connections to reach more international students and partners, and especially believes that HCMUT, as a representative from Vietnam, will be a reliable partner to work with KLU to develop training and research.
In response to KLU’s goodwill, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mai Thanh Phong affirmed that with the HCMUT’s strategy of internationalizing higher education, especially in the context of the shift from “outside” to “inside” the university, the university is always ready to seize potential cooperation opportunities from foreign partners in general and KLU in particular.
In this cooperation, KLU and the HCMUT will build joint degree programs in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, exchange lecturers and students, and cooperate in research.
After signing the MOU, representatives of the two sides continued to discuss the development of the Master’s Program in Global Supply Chain and Logistics Management, including the training model, training program, learner support policies, etc.
