MOU signing ceremony between SCEDFA and UDRU

SCEDFA and UDRU established their cooperative relationship in 2008. Since then, SCEDFA has sent more than 120 students to study at UDRU in foreign languages and specializations. Most Vietnamese students after graduation have stable jobs with attractive incomes in both Thailand and Viet Nam. Specifically, they become more mature from UDRU’s learning environment and strict disciplinary rules, which is highly appreciated by their parents.

The signing of the MOU confirms that the cooperative relationship between SCEDFA and UDRU grows increasingly more and more sustainable and contributes to strengthening the external relations and international cooperation of Da Nang City.
