[HO CHI MINH CITY] Singapore Management University (SMU) launched its third overseas centre on Thursday (Apr 25), in Vietnam’s bustling commercial hub Ho Chi Minh City, as part of the institution’s efforts to extend its regional reach and contribute to Asia’s growth.

This is the first official presence of a Singaporean university in Vietnam.

It is expected to increase SMU’s opportunities to collaborate with local partners in education and industry, enhance human capital development, and facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise between the two Asean countries.
