“The agreement with International University epitomizes Bosch’s continuing commitment to support training and education in Vietnam,” said Vo Quang Hue, Bosch Vietnam managing director

Hue highlighted that as part of the arrangement with the university, Bosch would award educational grants and scholarships to students based on financial need and academic performance.

The agreement represents the culmination of the university’s effort to build stronger links with the business community and provide students with real world practical hands-on experience, said Ho Thanh Phong, president of International University.

The university is looking to team up with forward thinking organizations like Bosch to better enable its lecturers and students to obtain real-life business experiences as part of their tertiary education.
