On September 27, 2022, in Ba Ria City, Petrovietnam University (PVU) successfully signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Petroleum and Petrochemical College (PPC) of Chulalongkorn University (CU), Thailand.
This event marks a strategic move by PVU to enhance its educational quality and strengthen international cooperation.
Representatives from PVU introduced the university, its staff, departments, and various educational and international cooperative programs. Dr. Phan Minh Quoc Binh from PVU and Dr. Pramoch Ransunvigit from PPC led the signing of the cooperation agreement.
During the meeting, Dr. Binh and Dr. Ransunvigit, along with leaders from both institutions, discussed scientific research collaborations and proposed a 4+1 master's program. This program allows PVU graduates to pursue an additional year of study at PPC to obtain a master's degree.
The MOU, valid indefinitely unless terminated by either party, focuses on areas such as expert, faculty, and student exchanges; co-supervision of postgraduate research; collaborative scientific research projects; information and research paper exchanges; experience sharing in research, teaching, training, and community activities; joint organization of scientific conferences and seminars; development of future training programs; and sharing scholarship information for students.
The visit included a tour of PVU's laboratory facilities by the PPC delegation. PPC, a postgraduate education unit of Chulalongkorn University, focuses on advanced petroleum technology research. Chulalongkorn University, located in Bangkok, is the oldest university in Thailand and highly regarded nationally and regionally.
The signing of the MOU signifies the beginning of a promising diplomatic and friendly relationship between the two institutions, with both parties looking forward to implementing meaningful and practical cooperative activities, including joint scientific research and international publications.
