Within the framework of the cooperation between Southern Cross University (SCU) from Australia and NTU, from October 31 to November 11, 2016, ten students from SCU attended some short courses organized by NTU.
The program provided the group knowledge on aquaculture, fisheries and seafood processing, marine ecosystems and climate change in Vietnam. They also conducted field trips to aquaculture sites, seafood processing factories, marine protected zones, research sites, etc. During the studies, the students also have plenty of opportunities to meet with locals, visit historical places, and learn about Vietnamese culture and language.
