This program is an international cooperation activity between HUST and Leipzig University (LU), Germany. First launched in 2006, there have been twelve admissions and 286 students participated, with more than 200 of them already graduated.

While there is the fact that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the major source to provide employment and income around the world, most of the universities’ training courses only focus on the big ones.

Additionally, to help the students apply their study into practice, HUST also collaborates with LU in organizing training programs, international business plans, German Vietnamese Business Idea Award (Praxis Partnership Program)”, Assoc. Prof. Tran Van Top emphasized.
