Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology and the National Economics University (NEU) of Vietnam signed their sister school and academic cooperation agreement on April 1, 2010. Since then the two universities have had frequent exchanges and close relationship. Not only has STUST visited the NEU of Vietnam for many times, President Tran has also been invited to attend the "International Conference of Knowledge-Based Economy & Global Management" held by the College of Business and Management. At the same time, the NEU has also sent a number of students to STUST for study, who showed excellent performance during their studies here.

In addition to its outstanding performances for the "Teaching Excellence Project" and "Model Science and Technology University" in recent years, according to Acting President Deng-Maw Lu, STUST became the first AACSB-accredited private university of science and technology in Taiwan in 2006. It is also expected that the NEU of Vietnam can offer opportunities for students who attend International Business and Finance Program and those who study Vietnamese Language Program to study in Vietnam as exchange students. It is also hoped that students from the NEU can come to study and experience the enthusiasm and quality teaching of STUST. The renewal this time should create more opportunities for future cooperation between the two universities.
