Description
In 2025, the University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University Hanoi, stood at a transformative threshold to reorganize its operational structure, unify its faculties, and launch several new training programs. The feasibility study for the Globalization and Cross-cultural Communication program provides an essential foundation for developing this curriculum or equivalent programs in International Relations. The study was conducted through a large-scale needs assessment involving five stakeholder groups: researchers and specialists, recruiters, field employees, university students, and high school pupils. To date, the research has collected more than 1,500 responses, with preliminary findings showing that a large majority strongly support the establishment of a new training program to meet the country’s social development and international integration needs in the new epoch. Key recommendations for curriculum design include enhancing practical applicability via corporate training, fostering multilingualism, strengthening cross-cultural communication, offering intensive professional training courses, and introducing major–minor program structures.
