Our Alumni

"My participation in the I-PhD model made it possible for me to continue my education in Malaysia while maintaining a career in Vietnam. This strategy assisted me in striking a balance between my work and academic obligations. In addition, under the companionship of the co-supervisor in Vietnam, I was consulted and supported closely to guarantee that the research would advance"
