Representative of Rotterdam Business School (RBS) - the international business school of Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands - came to the University of Economics and Business to work in partnership between the two parties on April 10th, 2019.
The
meeting was held in the presence of Mr. Martin Ford, Program Manager of Master
of International Supply Chain Management; Ms. Myrga Bruiins, Director of the
Bachelor of International Business and Supply Chain Management program from Rotterdam
Business School and Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Anh Thu - Vice Rector and representatives
of relevant units from the UEB.
At
the beginning of the discussion, representatives provided an overview of each
university, training programs, development orientation and scale so that
partners could gather the strengths. After that, the two parties discussed
specific contents and committed to deploy in the shortest period.
The
two universities agreed to organize short-term programs, cultural exchange
study tour for students, and consider developing a business research program with
the model between University of Economics and Business and Sydney University.
In terms of credit exchange program in 1 or 2 semesters, students are exempt
from tuition fees and are considered for credit recognition after completing the
course at the partner university.
In
addition, RBS and UEB shared the same idea of building an exchange model and
accepting students for practical internships (1 semester) with supervisors in
short essays/ reports after the internship period. Furthermore, it is
considered to jointly apply for funding from the Erasmus Project to promote lecture/
student exchange programs.
Recognizing
the success of the cross-border study between University of Economics and
Business and some universities in the world, representatives of RBS also
proposed to consider the form of 2 + 2 or 3 + 1, 3 + 1 + 1: The two universities
exchanged training frameworks to sign transitional education contracts, thereby
increasing the number of exchange students.
At
the conclusion of the meeting, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Anh Thu indicated that the
UEB had been in the process of promoting internationalization of education, so
the university always prioritized the development of cooperation with top
universities all over the world to strengthen student exchange program. UEB
looked forward to the successful cooperation with RBS - the first partner in
the Netherlands, which could create opportunities for students from two
universities to study and explore the partner’s country.
