On July 2 at Maison de l’Océan, Paris, Fashion Business students from Hoa Sen University attended the Graduation Ceremony of Collège de Paris, affirming the success of sustainable international educational cooperation between HSU and Collège de Paris.

Door to the Global Market through Prestigious Fashion Certification

Four outstanding students of Hoa Sen University (HSU), including: Ms. Ngo Ngoc Ha Vy, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai Phuong, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Bich, and Mr. Giang Tri Kiet were honored to receive the Certificate in Fashion Business at the Graduation Ceremony of Collège de Paris, a globally renowned institution in fashion, luxury goods, business administration, hospitality, and culinary arts in France. This certificate is awarded by Collège de Paris after students complete four transferable modules, with direct quality inspection and assessment by the institution.

The event was not only an important milestone in the students’ learning journey, affirming the capacity and determination of HSU students, but also a testament to the strong educational cooperation between Hoa Sen University and Collège de Paris, helping bring Vietnamese students closer to international training standards from the undergraduate level.

Notably, the Graduation Ceremony also welcomed the participation of 19 global partner schools in the Collège de Paris academic network, including HSU. This was an ideal opportunity for HSU students to engage in academic exchange, expand their connections, and immerse themselves in the cultural atmosphere of Paris.

Graduation from Collège de Paris is a very special memory for them. We had the opportunity to meet friends from many countries, including France and Nepal, and felt great pride in witnessing two Vietnamese scholars being honored with PhDs. Their sincere sharing gave us strong inspiration to keep striving in our studies and future careers.

Career Competitiveness of HSU Students

The Fashion Business program at HSU, designed in partnership with Collège de Paris, is structured to international standards. Students will gain a unique blend of modern academic knowledge and hands-on experience, learning from seasoned lecturers who use an updated French curriculum alongside the advice of domestic experts.

All transferred courses are accredited by Collège de Paris. To graduate, students must complete and defend a final project before an international panel to receive their Fashion Business certificate. Upon completion, students receive a Bachelor’s Degree from HSU and a Professional Certificate from Collège de Paris, which provides them with a competitive edge in the global labor market.

In addition, students are oriented toward postgraduate study with a Master’s program in Fashion and Luxury Goods Management in France. Classified as RNCP Level 7, equivalent to a Master’s Degree, this qualification is officially recognized by the French Government and carries significant professional value worldwide.

International Educational Cooperation as a Core Value of HSU

In 2022, HSU and Collège de Paris strengthened their cooperation through numerous student and academic exchange activities. The Faculty of Design – Arts at HSU signed an MOU with Collège de Paris during the launch of HSU’s first Fashion Business program, intending to rapidly expand global academic exchange opportunities for students.

In September 2023, Fashion Business program students had the opportunity to participate in an exchange semester at Rennes Business School (Rennes) and the College of Paris (France). The exchange not only allowed students to experience France’s advanced educational environment but also enhanced their language skills, deepened their cultural exposure, and expanded their international networks.

In July 2024, the first cohort defended their graduation projects at “Runway to Business 2024” before a jury of fashion industry experts and businesses in Viet Nam, with representatives from Collège de Paris also in attendance. Mr. Daniel Roura, Executive Director for International Strategy and Development, and Ms. Violaine Malou, Director of International Development Compliance. The students received many compliments and high recognition from international partners. As part of the event, Collège de Paris awarded the “Certificate in Fashion Business” to 18 students.

In August 2024, HSU will officially join the Collège de Paris global partner network under the “International Academic Exchange Agreement”. In June 2025, students presented their Fashion Business Graduation Projects online to a panel of HSU lecturers, industry professionals, and representatives from the partner school, including Mr. Eric Vanden Broeck, Dean of the College of Art and Design Brussels (Belgium).

The representative of Collège de Paris commented that, “I was thoroughly impressed by the HSU student’s presentation; it was one of the best I have ever seen. They demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the project, covering everything from creative and marketing to operations and finance. The consistent brand storytelling and impressive slides left me with virtually no feedback”.

The sustainable cooperation between HSU and Collège de Paris not only offers an international-standard learning environment but also equips students to confidently enter the global fashion industry. With solid knowledge, creative thinking, and international experience, HSU Fashion Business students are ready to become a new generation of young professionals, confident, adaptable, and capable of making their mark in a multicultural world.
