Overview

Acumen, part of Sannam S4 Group, is excited to present the third edition of our Vietnam Rising Programme, offering senior leaders in higher education institutions (HEIs) a unique opportunity to engage in and understand the Vietnamese market. This exclusive programme aims to support senior decision-makers in shaping their international strategies while fostering valuable relationships with key stakeholders in Vietnam.

Why Vietnam?

Vietnam has emerged as a significant player in the global education market.  Vietnam is by far the largest sending market of international students for higher education from Southeast Asia.  Vietnam is a top 6 market globally for Canada, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand; 45% of all Southeast Asian enrollments in the US originate from Vietnam.  Vietnam is also a fast growing market for Transnational Education, particularly for the UK and Australia.
