Through the discussion, the two sides agreed to promote cooperation in implementing the 3+2 DUT-UON transfer training program for the Electronics and Telecommunications (ECE) and Embedded Systems (ES) industries under the Vietnamese - American Advanced Program of FAST . Thus, after completing the 3rd year at DUT, students of advanced program majoring in ECE and ES meet the following conditions: GPA from 6.5/10, IELTS 6.0, if you wish to study in Australia, you will be considered to continue studying for 2 more years at UON to receive a UON Engineering degree. This cooperation helps students have the opportunity to study in the first years in Vietnam to get used to the university environment and prepare well for the first time studying at DUT, saving study abroad costs but still ensuring the quality of life and study at an international standard program and get a university degree in Australia. This cooperation thereby affirms the prestige of Da Nang University of Science and Technology by the quality of its training meeting internationally recognized standards.

Speaking at the meeting, representatives of the two universities expressed their desire to further develop the cooperative relationship so that lecturers and students have the opportunity to study, exchange and promote cooperation in scientific research.

Professor Rick Middleton would like to thank the Board of Directors and leaders of the units for the warm and thoughtful welcome to the delegation and hope to welcome the students to UON to study in the shortest time.
