Vietnamese students on Saturday got master’s degrees through the TESOL joint program between the Ho Chi Minh City Open University and the Australian Edith Cowan University. |
He emphasized the institution's dedication to providing students with the most flexible arrangements and employing the most effective educational methods to support their learning journey.
“We have collaborated with various foreign institutions to promote research and cultural exchange among lecturers and students,” he said.
HCMCOU has partnered with global universities, including Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium), University of Southern Queensland, Flinders University, Bond University (Australia), Fresenius (Germany), ROUEN (France), and Edith Cowan University (Australia).
Since 2017, the joint master’s program with Edith Cowan University has focused on training English teachers to meet international standards, preparing them to teach at universities, high schools, and language centers, in line with Việt Nam's educational needs.
The standout feature of the program is that it is conducted entirely in Vietnam, with graduates earning a Master’s degree from Edith Cowan University.
The training is divided into two phases: the first phase is delivered by lecturers from Ho Chi Minh City Open University (HCMCOU), while the second phase is taught by faculty from Edith Cowan University.
Since its launch in 2017, the program has enrolled a total of 777 students.
Edith Cowan University is one of Australia's top 38 public universities to be highly rated for its undergraduate teaching quality (Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching, QUILT).
