Description

A Vietnamese company is seeking to partner with a UK university ranked among the global top 500 to establish a fully operational international branch campus (IBC) in Vietnam. The company emphasises the importance of a genuine partnership rather than a simple franchise arrangement. The Vietnamese company has already secured land and is not concerned with capital or square footage requirements under Vietnam’s education investment law. The partnership structure is flexible and will depend on the interest and commitment of potential partners. Key elements such as:

• Partnership model
• Subject areas
• Levels of study
• Mode of delivery
• Expected student numbers
• Timelines

These elements can be discussed directly with the Vietnamese company. UK universities ranked among the top 500 worldwide are invited to register their interest by providing:

• A brief introduction
• Experience in setting up IBCs overseas

University names will be shared with the Vietnamese company for consideration. Only shortlisted institutions confirmed by the company will be introduced for further discussion.
