On 4\u20138 April, Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution (HEI) representatives \u2013 Vita Popait\u0117, Senior Specialist of the Study Administration Unit, Aurimas Galkontas, Head of the Student Affairs and Career Unit, and Eimantas Zaksas, Cultural Activities Coordinator \u2013 participated in study exhibitions held in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), where they introduced Kauno kolegija HEI, study programmes implemented in English, and the Lithuanian higher education system to those interested in studying.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 40 higher education institutions from Europe and Asia participated in both exhibitions. During the visit, Kauno kolegija HEI representatives also visited four schools in Hanoi and three schools in Ho Chi Minh City.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018One of them \u2013 Lawrence S. Ting School \u2013 hosted a discussion about Vietnamese students’ studies at various foreign higher education institutions. Each higher education institution that participated in the event presented its experience of how it succeeds in integrating students from Vietnam. Since we do not yet have students from Vietnam at Kauno kolegija HEI, it was useful to learn about the challenges other higher education institutions face,\u2019 shares V. Popait\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

She reveals that the visits to the schools left <\/span>a very good<\/span> impression \u2013 all schools are different, with their own educational philosophy and spectrum of students\u2019 interests. In some schools, business or technology directions dominate, in others \u2013 health sciences or arts. The students were active, asking many questions about studying abroad, living conditions in Lithuania, and job opportunities: \u2018There was a genuine interest, and the involvement and friendliness of the community members left a warm impression.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

During the visit, the British Vietnamese <\/span>International School, British<\/span> International School, Viet Duc High School, Dwight School Hanoi, British Vietnamese International School HCMC, BIS HCMC and Lawrence S. Ting School were visited.<\/span> V. Popait\u0117 shares that several significant meetings <\/span>also took place<\/span> during the visit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018We communicated individually with the managers and consultants of six educational service companies. The first contacts regarding cooperation agreements were established, and<\/span> the conditions for including Kauno kolegija HEI in their lists of recommended higher education institutions were discussed. This is a long-term process, but we already have clear signs that these contacts can develop into real student flows,\u2019 says V. Popait\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

A. Galkontas adds that meetings took place with representatives of other higher education institutions <\/span>during the exhibition<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>potential areas of cooperation in <\/span>the areas of<\/span> student exchange, both for the development of study and internship opportunities, were discussed with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Such contacts are important to expand Kauno kolegija HEI’s network of international partners and create conditions for our students to gain international experience. We also had the opportunity to meet with UNINOVIS alliance partners \u2013 representatives of the Technical University of Applied Sciences W\u00fcrzburg-Schweinfurt. During the visit, we discussed future joint activities that strengthen mutual cooperation between institutions,\u2019 shares the Head of the Student Affairs and Career Unit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Students are interested in studying at Kauno kolegija<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The main goal of the visit to Vietnam is to introduce Kauno kolegija HEI to the Vietnamese market: to introduce students, their parents, teachers and consultants to the Kauno kolegija HEI and to encourage them to choose to study in Lithuania. V. Popait\u0117 notes that Vietnam is one of Kaunas kolegija HEI\u2019s priority markets for international development, from which it is expected to attract motivated students.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The expectations related to visibility and networking have certainly been met. Meanwhile, the real results related to admission will be clearer later \u2013 after the admission process is completed,\u2019 notes V. Popait\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

A. Galkontas reveals that although Kauno kolegija HEI already has experience in participating in international study exhibitions in various countries, it was the first visit to Vietnam: \u2018It was a great opportunity to get acquainted with the specifics of this market, the education system and gain valuable insights that will help in shaping further strategies.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

He reveals that although Lithuania is not yet well known to some students, this did not prevent them from becoming interested in studying at Kauno kolegija HEI.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018After presenting the study options, many <\/span>expressed a desire<\/span> to learn more about our country, its culture, climate, cost of living and study programmes. We paid a lot of attention to explaining what makes Lithuania different from other EU countries and why it is worth choosing Kauno kolegija HEI. There was definitely a tangible interest from both the students and their parents and consultants,\u2019 says A. Galkontas.<\/span><\/p>\n
