University Faculty from Vietnam Pursue PhD Studies in Business and Operations Management at CJCU, Taiwan

In 2020 Fall, three university faculty members from Vietnam enrolled in PhD program in Business and Operations Management at CJCU. They were the first cohort of TNU-UBEA PhD students coming to CJCU to study. CJCU and Thai Nguyen University of Economics and Business Administration (TNU-UEBA) have had profound interactions on the academic exchange and students’ learning since 2019 when both institutions signed the MOU and became partners. All three faculty members are impressed by the free and open atmosphere in higher learning, excellent education quality, and the safe living environment in Taiwan. They also own positive attitudes to the friendliness of the campus environment and the innovation of instruction at CJCU, which perfectly serve as a learning foundation for expanding their global perspectives.  

Dr. Lin, Chieh-Yu, Dean of College of Management, indicated that this particular collaboration with TNU-UEBA aims to assist our partner university’s development in terms of the promotion of human resource by offering the PhD program taught in English with the designation based on students’ needs. The three faculty members hope to excel in academic research and teaching through the training from the doctoral program and to bring their personal experiences back to TNU-UEBA to encourage more faculty and students to come to CJCU for advanced studies. Moreover, with their experience, they could also help Vietnamese companies improve their business and operational management capacities.

CJCU is expected to become the hub for international higher learning in Asia. With this objective, we have established collaborative relationships with many universities in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand, etc. In 2018, CJCU Vietnam Center was started, and through the collaboration with UCTS (University College of Technology Sarawak), one of our partners in Malaysia, the DRAC (Drone Research and Application Centre) was launched as well. CJCU even developed the Bachelor Degree Program in SACI (Southeast Asia Cultures and Industries) in order to grow more awareness and future talents in Southeast Asia. Moreover, at the same year when CJCU Vietnam Center was founded, CJCU Japan Center was also launched with the ultimate goal to establish a campus in Miyakojima, Japan. We are hoping to turn CJCU as a base to nurture international talents from Southeast Asia to Northeast Asia. Thus, other than the International Program for the PhD program in Business and Operations Management, CJCU also offers International BBA Program in International Business and the International MBA Program. These programs are all conducted in English, and enroll students from all over the world.
