Expanding international study opportunities for students

Hoa Sen University (HSU) marked a significant collaboration on the afternoon of July 17, 2025, by officially signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the International Skill Development Corporation (ISDC), a prominent UK-based educational institute dedicated to fostering skills development and forging global academic ties.

The event with ISDC was an important milestone in the University’s internationalization strategy, aiming to promote international connections, create expanded learning corridors, and enhance the competitiveness of HSU students in the global labor market.

During the ceremony, Mr. Joshua Warland, First Secretary of Digital Economy and Technology at the British Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, attended and congratulated ISDC on its significant expansion into Viet Nam. His presence highlighted the British government’s keen interest and active commitment to advancing educational collaboration between the two nations.

Aligning students with international standards

According to the MOU, this cooperation offers students valuable opportunities to connect academically with over 40 prestigious universities worldwide. Therefore, they can participate in transfer programs and earn international degrees in many promising fields, such as International Business Administration, Marketing, Project Management, Hospitality, and many others.

At HSU, our aim is to cultivate a borderless academic environment that empowers students to explore global horizons, acquire diverse knowledge, and foster a truly international mindset.
