On the morning of April 21, 2025, at the Office of the Faculty of Arts, the leadership and lecturers of the Faculty of Arts participating in teaching French students held a welcome ceremony for student LAURANT Paul from the European Academy of Art of Brittany, France (EESAB) under the Memorandum of Cooperation with Khanh Hoa University. Accordingly, during approximately eight weeks (from April 18, 2025 to June 15, 2025), student LAURANT Paul will study three subjects: Sculpture (3 credits, 81 periods), Silk Painting (4 credits, 106 periods), and Lacquer Painting (5 credits, 136 periods) according to the detailed course outlines.
The European Academy of Art of Brittany, France has been a long-standing partner of Khanh Hoa University. Over the years, both sides have implemented various cooperative programs for the exchange of lecturers and students. Most recently, in 2024, the university received two students from EESAB to participate in a short-term Fine Arts course at Khanh Hoa University. By promoting international cooperation, including the reception and exchange of students, students have the opportunity to study and do an internship abroad. Through this program, students gain exposure to new environments, accumulate skills, and develop professional manners in a multicultural environment.
