An agreement on cultural cooperation between the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Federal Republic of Germany was signed in 1990. Since then, many new university cooperative partnerships between Germany and Vietnam have been established and consistently driven forward.

These cooperative partnerships cover a range of activities, from the exchange of students and researchers and the development of courses to a large, transnational education project.

Here we present some examples of good practice from these higher education partnerships.
