BUV, Manchester Metropolitan expand partnership on work-integrated education
British University Vietnam (BUV) and Manchester Metropolitan University have expanded their partnership to integrate workplace experience into academic programs and strengthen graduate employability in Vietnam.
BUV and Manchester Metropolitan University have expanded their partnership on work-integrated education, with the agreement signed at the British Ambassador's Residence in Hanoi on October 7. The partnership, which began with a memorandum of understanding in November 2024, now includes 10 new dual-degree programs covering various fields such as artificial intelligence, computing, business and management, hospitality and tourism, sustainable business, and education.
A key focus of the expanded collaboration is work-integrated learning, with initiatives such as employer-informed projects, capstone modules, and applied assessments to give students greater exposure to workplace practices. The universities plan to introduce semester exchanges, joint capstone projects, faculty exchanges, and shared approaches to assessing work-integrated modules.
This expanded partnership aligns with Manchester Metropolitan's Road to 2035 strategy and the U.K.-Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which emphasizes education and skills as areas of bilateral cooperation.
