On the morning of October 29, 2022, the University of Finance and Marketing solemnly held the 2022 Academic Year Opening Ceremony for Joint Programs. In 2022, the university has enrolled in 3 international joint programs, including an associate program with HELP University, Malaysia, with 4 majors in Finance, Accounting, Marketing, and International Business; a joint program with UCSI University, Malaysia, in Business Administration major; and 2+2 associate programs with Thompson Rivers University, Canada. During this year's enrollment season, the university has also achieved many successes in school enrollment in both domestic and international programs.

In the Opening Ceremony, the University of Finance and Marketing was honored to welcome representatives of the Canadian Consulate General's office in Vietnam and representatives of foreign partner universities, including HELP University and UCSI, Malaysia; Thompson Rivers University, Canada; Northern Arizona University, USA; and Wisconsin State University, USA. In addition, there was also the presence of many distinguished guests who are sponsors and businesses that have cooperated with the university for many years, such as: IES Company, Study Guide Company, ESL Vietnam Company, Fahasa Joint Stock Company, and Boston Pharma Company.

Toward the University of Finance and Marketing, there was the presence of Dr. Le Trung Dao, Vice Rector of the University, and Dr. Nguyen Xuan Truong, Director of the Institute of International Training, and the leaders of the University, as well as lecturers teaching at the joint programs of the University. Furthermore, this ceremony also welcomed 420 students who have been matriculated and enrolled in 2022 in international joint programs of the International Training Institute.

Assessing the training quality of the programs, Dr. Le Trung Dao, Vice Rector, said: "UFM is offering good quality international joint programs that can be transferred to various universities in the UK, Australia, and the USA... Over 10 years of implementation, these programs have trained thousands of quality bachelors, masters, and doctorates, joining the global workforce. Among them, there are many alumni who are holding important positions in large corporations and organizations.

The Vice-Principal also gave three pieces of advice to students in the international associate program: "Gen Z is the future of the world. I know that many of you here have high dreams and ambitions. Only when you are ready to change, ready to accept new things, always have a positive attitude, try your best, and act for the goal, will you be able to earn others' respect and make your dream come true.”

Family, friends, teachers, and school staff will always care for, support, and accompany you. Therefore, make efforts to study, practice, and strive for your own development and success as well as to be worthy of your family's expectations.

Mr. Stephen WU, Vice President of HELP University, also gave a fully emotional speech, summarizing the training cooperation between UFM and HELP: "HELP University has built up a strong alliance with the UFM in the field of education in high school for 12 years. HELP University can be one of the first international partners of UFM. Both universities share a common vision and values: providing potentially excellent education systems at a reasonable cost.

He also wishes to have long-term cooperation with UFM and develop in-depth relationships with UFM by exchanging lecturers between the two universities as well as sharing, and sustainably growing together.

In the joyful atmosphere of the new school year, the Institute of International Education awarded gifts and scholarships to the valedictorian and two runners-up with excellent entrance examination results. It is a testament to the efforts of students and gives them more motivation in the coming school year.

In 2022, the Institute of International Training has received nearly 4000 online registration documents and more than 420 enrolled students in the associate programs of the university. UFM's associate programs are increasingly popular and trusted by parents and candidates. The number of students enrolled in the program has steadily increased over the years. In 2022, the 2+2 associate program with Thompson Rivers University, Canada, is appealing many youngsters because it helps them sharpen their skills and knowledge before transferring to the last 2 years of study at the partner university.
