Education and training cooperation between Vietnam and Romania

The Ministry of Education and Training said that in recent years, Romania has trained about 3,000 engineers, masters and doctors for Vietnam, mainly during the years when both countries belonged to the system of socialist countries.

On January 15, 2008, authorized by the Minister of Education and Training, Vietnamese Ambassador to Romania Le Manh Hung signed the Vietnam-Romania educational cooperation program for the period 2008-2010 in Bucharest, Romania. The cooperation program is valid until January 16, 2011.

In July 2016, on the occasion of the visit to Vietnam by the Prime Minister of Romania, the leaders of the two ministries signed the "Education cooperation program between the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam and the Ministry of National Education and Scientific Research of Romania for the period 2016-2020."

On April 19, 2023, the Government of Vietnam and the Government of Romania signed the "Cooperation program in education and training between the Government of Vietnam and the Government of Romania for the period 2022-2026."

The total number of Vietnamese international students in Romania is currently 36 people, including 22 university students, 5 master's students and 9 doctorates.

During the period from 2016 to 2020, Vietnam recruited 65 candidates to study under the agreement in Romania, including 33 university students, 17 masters and 15 doctors, reaching 65% of the scholarship target.

All students studying in Romania completed the course successfully and on time. Currently, Romania is allowing Vietnamese students to study majors in which Romania has strengths.
