Tiếng ViệtOn September 23rd and 24th, Jellyfish Vietnam had the great honor of accompanying Kyoto University on a special business trip to Hanoi.
The purpose of this visit was to introduce Kyoto University’s English-taught international program (Kyoto iUP) to Vietnamese high school students, providing them with a clearer understanding of the academic opportunities and personal development prospects at one of Japan’s most prestigious universities.
During this trip, representatives from Kyoto University and Jellyfish had the privilege of meeting and exchanging with the leadership and students of the following high schools:
-
High School for Gifted Students in Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi
-
High School for Gifted Students in Foreign Languages, Vietnam National University, Hanoi
-
High School for Gifted Students, Hanoi National University of Education
-
High School of Education Sciences, University of Education – Vietnam National University, Hanoi
-
High School for Gifted Students in Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Social Sciences and Humanities – Vietnam National University, Hanoi
In these sessions, Kyoto University’s representatives shared valuable insights about the university, its academic programs, attractive scholarship opportunities, and addressed students’ questions about studying in Japan and the Kyoto iUP program.
Notably, this visit also reflected Kyoto University’s profound interest in Vietnam’s education sector – a country recognized for its talented, dynamic, and globally minded students. A compelling testament to this is the 2025 Kyoto iUP admission cycle, in which 32 Vietnamese students applied, and 3 outstanding candidates were successfully admitted and will commence their studies this year. The relatively high success rate highlights the remarkable capabilities, dedication, and achievements of Vietnamese students in international academic settings.
Through this visit, Kyoto University aims to establish a sustainable bridge, offering Vietnamese students greater access to advanced education, while also fostering academic exchange between the two nations.
Jellyfish Vietnam would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Kyoto University for their trust, collaboration, and support in providing Vietnamese students with valuable opportunities. We look forward to continued cooperation that will open even more doors for young Vietnamese talents to pursue their dreams and thrive in a global academic environment.
