➢ Blended and online delivery mode with HE partnership programs
➢ Under this new Decree, foreign investors shall be permitted to contribute
capital to and to purchase shares and stakes from a Vietnamese educational
institution and a foreign-invested business entity that establishes an

Policy Setting
Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B

Deakin University CRICOS Provider Code: 00113B
➢ Opportunity where a joint effort leveraging different strengths of institutions can be made: encourage multifaceted collaboration with Vietnamese government and institutional partners
➢ MOET/Universities: growing emphasis on research performance & collaboration
➢ Universities: Hosting Australian mobility students/interns

Opportunities
Primary dimensions of internationalisation of education in in Vietnam (Tran & Marginson, 2018)
❖student and staff mobility, particularly out-bound flows but
potentially in-bound flows
❖international cooperation in program development and
delivery/Internationalisation of the curriculum: ‘advanced
programs’
❖professional development/corporate training/intensive courses
❖use of English as medium of instruction
❖joint and twinning programs
❖international schools and institutes
❖internationalisation of research
Some developments
❖ In the past two decades, especially following Vietnam’s World Trade
Organization accession and General Agreement on Trade in Services,
joint and twinning programmes have multiplied.
❖ More than 300 joint and twinning programs provided in cooperation with
32 countries
❖ an increase from 133 programs in 2007 (see Tran & Marginson, 2018 for
more details).
❖ marked a shift from Vietnam as merely a passive recipient to an active
partner and potential provider of international education
❖ Sensitive to reciprocal international education
