The Hanyoung Scholarship Foundation aims to provide HUTECH students with valuable opportunities, ranging from experiencing academic environments at prestigious universities in Korea to working directly at the Hanyoung Group.

Such initiatives aim to enhance expertise while fostering stronger cooperation between Vietnam and Korea in these sectors, contributing new value to education and research.
The signing of the MOU represents an important milestone, unlocking numerous opportunities for HUTECH students to enhance their knowledge and skills in a dynamic international environment. It also reaffirms HUTECH's commitment to connecting with businesses to deliver practical benefits to both students and faculty.
With its strong tradition in training programs for Textile, Garment, and Fashion Design, HUTECH anticipates that this partnership will act as a catalyst for advancing education and providing high-quality human resources, contributing to the promising future of these industries in Vietnam.
