Short-training programs at NTU

Launched in 2014, the International intensive program at Nha Trang University was designed to facilitate academic exchanges with friends around the world for specialties which are the strength of NTU. This is also an opportunity to expand international cooperation in training and research, along with promoting the image of people, nature and culture of Vietnam to international students. From 2014, the program has attracted students from universities in Australia, South Korea, Thailand, Czech Republic ... with diverse and interesting courses.

Tropical Marine Biodiversity

Vietnam has one of the world’s most diverse marine biologic systems. This biodiversity feeds and supports not only local communities within Vietnam, but, a growing international export market, as well. Vietnam also is one of the world’s countries most at risk for loss of biodiversity due to climate change. With the risk due to both climate change and increased reliance on the marine system to support both local and international markets, it is imperative to understand not only the biodiversity that exists, but, the factors that help maintain it, as the pressures on it increase.

The purpose of this course is to introduce the concepts necessary to understand marine biodiversity with the specific examples of Vietnamese marine biodiversity.

Opportunities to practice soft skills and English for NTU students
