3.2.2 Uniqueness/Attractiveness
- Courses designed in the new Master’s Programs focus on practical sessions/activities and
seminars.
- Model lectures are given by the Japanese lecturers and Vietnamese co-lecturers.

- Field excursion helps students comprehend impacts of climate change and how to adapt to them.
