Prof.Dr. Le Thi Huong - Director of the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health - said: The course attracted a large number of international students to apply: 12/26 international applications came from many countries from Southeast Asia and England, America, Tanzania, Brazil, Liberia, Ghana. The COVID-19 epidemic has prevented many international students from coming to Vietnam to study, but there are still some foreign students attending in person and taking online classes, ensuring the international nature of the course. Also due to the epidemic, the course had to conduct a lot of online teaching and learning, so the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health had to invest in facilities and build an electronic library with many learning materials and documents; Digitizing theses and dissertations, helping students access them easily, conveniently and quickly. With the investment in the online training system, the Institute also invited many international lecturers from the US, Australia, and Asia to teach the course. This is a challenge and also a great opportunity for Vietnamese lecturers to exchange knowledge and teaching experiences so that students can have the opportunity to study in an international environment.
