National University of Singapore (NUS) has inked a series of strategic Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with industry and academic partners in Vietnam, marking a new milestone in strengthening the University’s contributions to academic advancement and economic development in Vietnam.

Three MoUs were signed between NUS, Becamex IDC Corporation, and the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) to promote joint initiatives for strengthening Vietnam’s workforce and enhancing its economic competitiveness, particularly in the Binh Duong province in southern Vietnam.

These MoUs formalised the partnership between three NUS units and the Eastern International University (EIU), which has been appointed by Becamex and VSIP to undertake the collaborative programmes with NUS for accelerating digital transformation, advancing medical education, and driving research and innovation across Vietnam.

NUS also signed an MoU with Van Lang University (VLU) in Ho Chi Minh City, establishing a partnership to foster deeper collaborations in education and research in a range of academic areas. 

EIU will also collaborate with the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) to advance medical education and research through a five-year partnership aiming to foster joint research initiatives, enrich educational programmes, and spur innovations in healthcare practices.
