VietNamNet Bridge – The HCMC University of Banking last week held the first graduation ceremony for the first Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Business Studies programs organized in cooperation with the University of Bolton of the UK.
Prof. Dr. Peter Marsh (L), deputy vice chancellor of the University of Bolton awards the MBA degree to a Vietnamese graduate in HCMC last week.
There were 22 MBA Vietnamese graduates and eight BA Vietnamese graduates in these first classes receiving the degrees of the University of Bolton. The degrees are recognized by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony, Deborah Clarke, British consul general in HCMC, said there would be plenty of opportunities for Vietnamese graduates as Vietnam's economic success and integration into the global economy is fuelling demand for well-educated managers who are able to operate in a global market-place.
She added education is one of the five key pillars of the UK's relationship with Vietnam and that the collaborative partnership between the two universities will help to create a critical mass of skilled professionals with an international outlook in Vietnam as well as further strengthen educational links between the UK and Vietnam and promote understanding between the two countries.
Working in partnership with HCMC University of Banking, the University of Bolton has delivered the programs in HCMC since 2006. The programs include Bachelor of Accounting, Bachelor of Business Administration, and transfer program for Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Business Administration.
An enrolment seminar for these programs will be held at 8:30 a.m. on July 19 at Kim Do Hotel, 133 Nguyen Hue Boulevard, District 1, HCMC. For details, contact the Center for International Cooperation of the HCMC University of Banking (2nd floor, 39 Ham Nghi Boulevard, District 1, tel: (08) 821 4660, ext: 101).
