To implement the student exchange programs, Oita University will organize “study tour” programs for Japanese students to come to Vietnam to study and exchange the knowledge of culture, country, as well as Vietnamese economy. In addition, Oita will provide detailed information on the International Student Forum (ISF) so that the UEB will use as reference for the next organization.
