🇫🇮🇻🇳 Tiesitkö, että tulevaisuudessa Metropolian tutkinnon voi suorittaa myös Vietnamissa?

Metropolia ja FPT University valmistelevat yhteistyössä uutta International Business and Logistics -tutkinto-ohjelmaa Hanoihin, jossa ensimmäisten opiskelijoiden on tarkoitus aloittaa opintonsa syyskuussa 2027.

Metropolian Suvi Moll ja Maria Rauhamäki ovat viime viikkoina vierailleet Vietnamissa edistämässä uuden koulutusohjelman valmisteluja. Vierailun aikana he ovat kouluttaneet paikallisia korkeakouluopettajia suomalaisen ammattikorkeakoulun opetusmenetelmiin sekä viimeistelleet koulutusohjelman opetussuunnitelmaa.

Yhteistyön myötä suomalainen korkeakouluosaaminen saa jalansijaa Vietnamissa ja Metropolian kansainvälinen opiskelijayhteisö kasvaa entisestään!

🇫🇮🇻🇳 Did you know that in the future, students will be able to earn a Metropolia degree in Vietnam?

Metropolia UAS and FPT University are working together to launch a new International Business and Logistics Bachelor's degree programme in Hanoi, with the first students expected to begin their studies in September 2027.

Over the past few weeks, Metropolia's Suvi Moll and Maria Rauhamäki have been visiting Vietnam to support the preparations for the new programme. During their visit, they have trained local university teachers in Finnish university of applied sciences pedagogy and teaching methods, while also finalising the programme's curriculum.

Through this collaboration, Finnish higher education expertise is reaching new audiences, and Metropolia's international student community continues to grow!
