Messages from MEE Directors and Scientific Advisor
Dr. Nguyen Thi An Hang
Program Director
"The Master program in Enviromental Engineering (MEE) at Vietnam Japan University, VNU, Ha Noi brings you attractive lectures on environmental technologies and their practical applications. Additionally, you will experience wonderful practice and internship activities in both Japan and Viet Nam. Moreover, as MEE's students, you can join in doing research projects with the leading Japanese and Vietnamese professors. This is an excellent opportunity for you to develop the research capacity, become a co-author of high quality publications in prestigious peer-review journals, and be sponsored to attend national and international scientific conferences. These are essentials for those who wish to persue PhD study after graduation. Especially, we strongly support you in career orientation with useful information on Japanese employers. With advanced learning curriculum and bright career opportunities, MEE at VJU can be a master choice for your future."
Prof. Hiroyuki Katayama
Program Co-Director
"Faculty members from the Department of Urban Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo will be actively involved in the Master's Program in Environmental Engineering at the Vietnam -Japan University. In particular, we are aware of the role that environmental engineering plays in global trends including sustainable development goals, and we will provide cutting-edge technologies and knowledge in the research fields. We also intend to prepare field exercise programs that include active participation of students of the University of Tokyo. The Vietnam -Japan University has a recommendation quota by the Japanese Embassy, and up to now, about three students each year have been supported to study in Japan for doctoral course. We welcome all ambitious students."
Prof. Jun Nakajima
Former Program Co-Director
"MEE is one of the master programs in VJU that are most powerfully promoting research activities and aiming for VJU to be a Strong Research University. The lectures on environmental engineering are so attractive by Vietnamese and Japanese famous professors including theoretical as well as practical contents. The MEE students also have joined in the internship in Japan and the field trip in Vietnam. Environmental engineering is aiming to solve global or local environmental issues in the world. The research topics are widespread in water resource, air pollution, solid waste, wastewater, biodiversity, chemicals, energy saving, material recycle, etc. They are all carried out for the purpose of human happiness and environmental protection in the world. Please join MEE to understand the attractive joy and valuable task of research activities. In addition, after completing MEE study, many students continue their research in PhD programs around the world on scholarships."
"The environmental engineering programme at Vietnam Japan University is preparing attractive lectures and exercises for you, including practices, internships and studies in Japan. You will understand the technologies and their application concerning environmental engineering successfully improved in Japan. This exciting master’s programme is constructed through collaborative teaching from Vietnamese and Japanese professors. Please join our programme and open the door to contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals and establishment of a sustainable society in the future. After completion of the programme, you will play an important role in various workplaces, not only in Vietnam but also other countries.”
