According to Dr. Tran Huu Tri, Dean of the Faculty of Languages and Cultures of Vietnam and Southeast Asia, the program aims to meet the needs of the expanding society to learn the Vietnamese language and culture, especially businesses that need to use experts in Vietnamese.

Also, there is a Vietnamese overseas community in the world with a population of over 6 million. The difference in the school's new program compared to other schools is that from the 3rd year onwards, Vietnamese and foreign students will study together, creating community connections and improving learning efficiency. It will significantly help spread the Vietnamese language and culture to international friends.
