On the morning of April 6th, 2026, at the Office of the Faculty of Arts, University of Khanh Hoa held a formal reception for Théo LAOUCHET, a student from the European School of Fine Arts of Brittany (EESAB), France, in accordance with the Memorandum of Cooperation between the two institutions. Attending the reception were leaders of the Faculty of Arts, lecturers directly involved in teaching the student, representatives from the Office of Science, Technology and International Cooperation, as well as lecturers from the Faculty of Foreign Languages serving as interpreters.
During an approximately eight-week period (from April 2nd to May 30th, 2026), Théo LAOUCHET undertakes three specialized courses at the Faculty of Arts, including: Woodcut and Plaster Printing (4 credits, 101 periods), Lacquer Painting (5 credits, 136 periods), and Silk Painting (4 credits, 106 periods). Designed with detailed syllabi, these courses enable the student to gain in-depth exposure to traditional Vietnamese artistic materials and techniques.
The European School of Fine Arts of Brittany has been a long-standing partner of University of Khanh Hoa. In recent years, the two institutions have carried out various meaningful collaborative activities, including exchanges of lecturers and students, as well as academic programs. Strengthening international cooperation—particularly through student exchange programs—contributes to expanding learning and internship opportunities in global environments, while enhancing students’ professional competence and adaptability in multicultural contexts.
