The delegation also met Professor Lois Farquharson, Executive Dean of the Â鶹´«Ã½ Business School along with academic colleagues to discuss progression opportunities for Â鶹´«Ã½V students to join Â鶹´«Ã½ programmes. Finally, the delegation met with Professor Alison Honour, Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer, discussing expansion of the partnership and ways of working more closely together. 

‘It has been a pleasure to welcome the British University Vietnam delegation to our campus as we kick off the new academic year, and discuss our common goals for the year ahead,’ said Professor Honour. 

‘We have really enjoyed our visit to Â鶹´«Ã½â€™s beautiful campus today. The warm hospitality, thoughtful engagement, and strong commitment were deeply appreciated. We are excited and enthusiastic about the potential for a robust and meaningful partnership between our institutions and eagerly look forward to future development of our partnership and collaboration,’ said Ms Thuy Nguyen.
