Representatives from the University of Technical Education (UTE) in Ho Chi Minh City and the US Texas Tech University (TTU) have signed a memorandum of understanding on undergraduate education programme.

The deal will allow qualified students from UTE to obtain a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering, computer science, finance and banking and business administration from the US university.

They will complete predetermined courses in Vietnam and then transfer to TTU to finish their degrees.

As one of the leading technical education and vocational training institutions in Vietnam, UTE seeks to raise the percentage of educated labour force in Vietnam by 40 percent in 2010.
