The Cultural Immersion Programme at BUV is an annual initiative designed to foster academic exchange and cross-cultural dialogue through a variety of engaging activities both on and off campus. This year marks a significant milestone as the programme welcomes its first student delegation from India. Through this programme, international students have the opportunity to explore Vietnamese culture firsthand, participating in activities and embark on experiential learning excursions to some of Vietnam’s most renowned cultural and historical landmarks, gaining deeper insights into the country’s rich heritage.
During their stay, the Indian students visited some of Vietnam’s most renowned cultural and historical landmarks, including the Temple of Literature, the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, and the breathtaking Trang An Landscape Complex in Ninh Binh. These excursions offered them first-hand insights into Vietnam’s traditions, history, and diverse cultural influences.
In addition to cultural exploration, the students engaged with Vietnam’s innovative business environment through a visit to LacBird Corp., a leading startup specializing in user experience research and technology innovation. This experience enabled them to gain valuable knowledge about Vietnam’s dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem and emerging technological advancements.
