On June 26, 2026, a delegation from the UEH College of Technology and Design (CTD-UEH) conducted an official visit and working session at the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, within the framework of the "UEH 50 Years - 50 Partners in 5 Continents" program. This activity marked a significant step forward in the education internationalization strategy of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH), while opening up numerous practical cooperation opportunities in training and research between the two higher education institutions.

The Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, is the first arts and design institution in China. Its predecessor was the Central Academy of Arts & Design, established in 1956, which merged with Tsinghua University in 1999 -2-8. With nearly 70 years of development, the Academy of Arts & Design currently comprises 10 departments and is authorized to confer doctoral degrees in three disciplines: Design, Fine Arts, and Art Theory. It maintains a cooperative network with over 60 prestigious universities worldwide. The Academy is ranked 1st in Asia and 14th globally for Art & Design according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025.

Overview of the working session between the two institutions

The cooperation between CTD-UEH and the Academy of Arts & Design not only marks the beginning of a multi-faceted partnership but also opens up numerous learning, research, and career development opportunities for faculty and students of both institutions. Through knowledge connection, resource sharing, and the promotion of co-creation, this relationship contributes to enhancing academic value in the fields of art, design, and technology, while actively contributing to sustainable development goals in the context of education globalization.

The establishment of a cooperative relationship with the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, is expected to create a solid foundation for UEH in general, and CTD in particular, to continue expanding its international partner network, improving training quality, promoting scientific research, and enhancing its academic standing on the international stage.

Within the framework of the UEH Global 50 program, the two sides discussed and agreed upon several strategic cooperation directions, focusing on key areas such as: developing joint curricula in the fields of design and creative technology; co-organizing seminars, workshops, and art creativity camps; facilitating faculty exchanges; and promoting student exchange programs between these two leading higher education institutions in Vietnam and China.
