From HCMUARC’s side, Mr. Vu Viet Anh had a cordial talk with the students, encouraging them to try their best in their studies.

The professional master programs in urban management (PM-UM) is a one-year collaborative program with 3 semesters in which the first 2 semesters are conducted at HCMUARC, and in the 3rd semester students will go on a field-trip in Thailand collecting data and information to do their master thesis under supervisions of experienced lecturers/experts from both institutions.

HCMUARC enrolled the first batch since September 2012 with 23 students graduated as masters; the 2nd batch with 06 students graduated. There are 8 students enrolled for the 3rd batch.

This program is designed for sustainable development through centralizing and generalizing theories in the fields of Urban Planning, Economics Development, Policy & Public Management, thereby forming a framework program related to urban environmental issues under the context of rapid urbanization.

The international program gives an excellent opportunity to graduate more urban planners particularly under the context of rapid urbanization.

The faculty members involve well-established international experts in Environment-Energy-Sustainable Development with guest lecturers from HCMUARC.
