Staff exchange – Karolinska Institutet

By: Karin Forslund, International Student Coordinator, Education Support Office

Huế University is one of the most important regional universities in Vietnam, ranked number 5 among Vietnamese universities. Established in 1957, it will celebrate 60 years next year. The university comprises of 8 member colleges and 2 member schools; the total number of students is more than 50 000. During my mobility period at Huế University, I will mainly be working together with and job shadowing the staff at the Centre for International Education as well as the College of Medicine and Pharmacy.

Today, I gave a very much appreciated presentation of Sweden (thank you Swedish Institute for great slides) and of course one about Karolinska Institutet. I was also given an introduction to Huế University and its structure, the educational programmes, international cooperation and so forth. We have a lot of interesting topics to discuss during the coming days, in order to learn from each other through best practices when it comes to student and staff mobility as well as other practical matters.
