DNC – The Faculty of Architecture – Construction & Environment, Nam Can Tho University, successfully organized a student exchange program at universities in Taiwan in November 2025, with the participation of 2 lecturers and 12 students. During the program, the delegation attended courses, participated in academic activities, practical research, and cultural experiences, aiming to expand their professional knowledge and international perspective.

During the program, the delegation collaborated with prestigious partner universities such as Ming Chi University of Technology, Asia University, and National Central University. The program was designed to equip students with advanced skills in the fields of Architecture and Construction. DNC students took courses on Digital Transformation, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation, all taught directly by lecturers and experts from the partner universities. The learning activities focused on practical applications, bridging theory with modern research, while also honing group discussion skills, problem-solving, and project analysis.

In addition to theoretical classes, students have the opportunity to directly engage with startup models and specialized research centers, such as the Startup Model at Asia University and the Construction Laboratory Center of National Central University — which is equipped with cutting-edge facilities, including a Centrifuge Machine and a dynamic triaxial testing system for earthquake-resistant design. Through these experiences, students can observe experimental procedures, apply advanced technologies to real-world industry practices, and enhance their professional knowledge.

In addition to academic activities, the group also explored Taiwan’s unique culture through various local excursions — from Jiufen, with its ancient architecture and traditional cultural atmosphere, to Ximending Market, Linjiang Night Market, and Taipei 101 — enabling them to gain deeper insights into urban life and Taiwanese culture. These experiences helped students develop adaptability, communication skills, and a global mindset, while also creating memorable moments throughout their learning journey at Nam Can Tho University.
