Brilliant Summer Days at IUH for Students from National Yilan University, Taiwan (NIU) 16-08-2024
"We had many unforgettable summer days, exploring a creative and promising learning environment. We enhanced our knowledge and skills through hands-on experiences and gained a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture and its people."
This sentiment was shared by Phinda and Harry, students from National Yilan University, Taiwan, during the closing session following their four-week study and experience at the Faculty of Electrical Technology, IUH.
In July 2024, Phinda and Harry enrolled in the exchange and credit recognition program for international students. The four-week program, which they described as a blend of exploration and practical application, provided them with valuable research experience at the Faculty of Electrical Technology, IUH.
Their enthusiasm for studying at IUH fostered a positive and productive atmosphere among both the faculty and students. During their time at IUH, they had the opportunity to engage in a variety of scientific research activities in a dynamic learning environment.
