【Taichung, Taiwan】 Asia University and Vietnam’s FPT University have begun close collaboration this year. Following the signing of agreements for joint talent cultivation programs in Semiconductor Design, Smart Manufacturing, and an AI cooperation memorandum, over a hundred students visited Asia University from October 16 to 18.
Led by FPT representatives including Jimmy Ngoc Le, the delegation mainly comprised students from semiconductor-related programs. On the morning of October 17, they visited Taiwan’s leading semiconductor packaging and testing company, SPIL, to learn about Taiwan’s semiconductor technology.
Besides being impressed by the production processes, the students were particularly intrigued by convenience stores. Their favorite snack was tea eggs — something unavailable in Vietnam!
In the afternoon, the FPT delegation returned to Wufeng to quickly explore Asia University’s facilities, including the affiliated hospital and the Modern Art Museum. Students were impressed and commented, “The learning environment here is fantastic!”
President Jin-Fa Tsai and faculty welcomed the Vietnamese visitors. Many students proactively shared their interest in AI-related programs, and President Tsai encouraged them, saying, “AI good!” and invited them to consider studying at Asia University.
During his welcome speech, President Tsai expressed delight at the multiple close exchanges with FPT University in less than a year. He noted that Vietnamese students at Asia University have performed exceptionally well.
"Expanding partnerships across semiconductor, CS, business, and AI programs marks a new milestone. Moving forward, exchanges will include student mobility, faculty interactions, and joint research to cultivate professionals aligned with current AI trends."
— Dr. Jin-Fa Tsai, President of Asia University
Due to the large number of visiting students, activities were conducted in groups to rotate through various centers:
In the evening, a welcome dinner was held outside the College of Management. The Aboriginal Dance Club performed a welcoming dance, and Vietnamese students joined in, showcasing youthful enthusiasm and bridging cultural differences.
