Up to now, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has had effective cooperative relationships with more than 300 universities, educational institutions, and research institutes around the world, including many organizations from New Zealand. With the strength of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary training, from undergraduate to doctoral levels in the fields of social sciences and humanities, we are looking forward to cooperating with the University of Canterbury in student exchange (participating in long-term and short-term courses), lecturer exchange, organizing scientific seminars, publishing documents, etc. In addition, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities organizes summer courses to learn about culture, history, art, and traditional cuisine of Vietnam, attracting a large number of international students to participate.

Professor Megan McAuliffe shared that she was very happy to visit the school and received a warm welcome from the School's Board of Directors. The University of Canterbury is a leading prestigious higher education institution in New Zealand, ranked in the top 300 universities in the world, with 16,000 students studying. When we learned about it, we found that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the University of Canterbury both offer training in the fields of arts, education, management, and religious studies. Therefore, we are very much looking forward to cooperating with the School in a number of specific activities: student and trainee exchange; lecturer exchange between the two schools, and coordinating the organization of a number of seminars on issues of politics, religion, culture, etc. that both sides are interested in.
At the end of the meeting, Vice Principal Dang Thi Thu Huong emphasized: after today's meeting, the two sides will sign specific cooperation documents. At the same time, the University will communicate to all students, trainees, and lecturers in the school information about Canterbury University and cooperation activities between the two sides on the school's media channels.
