AIT/SET Press Conference in Saigon 29 Jan 2008
On Tuesday 29 Jan 2008 at 3 pm, SET/AIT delegation organized a Press Conference in SEAMEO Saigon to introduce our Master and PhD programs offered in Vietnam. AIT/SET delegations are Dr. Nitin A. (Associate Dean), Ms. Nguyen Bich Hoa (SET Representative in Vietnam), Dr. Hadikusumo (CEIM and Vietnam Coordinator), Dr. Sumantha Guha (CSIM Coordinator) and Dr. Giao (SET Coordinator for Vietnam Promotion).
The press conference was attended by journalists from TV, newspaper and magazine such as HTV, Saigon Economic Times, Dong Nai Newspaper etc.
During the press conference, many interesting questions were raised by the journalists:
- Why the tuition fee is quite expensive? SET Delegation answered that our tuition fee is reasonable because we are an international university. Lets see the tuition fee for elementary (primary) and high school offered by international school in Saigon and Hanoi; the tuition fee is about USD 10,000 per year. AIT tuition fee is USD 13,000 - 15,000 for a master degree (post-graduate) level. With a master degree certificate from a reputed university, students can get a good job and career development. Therefore, investing in education is a good investment!
- How is research quality in AIT? AIT concerns a lot in quality of research. We are successful in maintaining and improving our tradition to involve students in high research standard. A very real example of this achievement can be seen from our high numbers of journal publication written by AIT student and Faculty.
