With the synergy from successful academic programs currently being implemented by EMG Education in Vietnam, such as the Integrated English Program, the addition of the BEAM program will further enhance the diversity and relevance of EMG Education's academic content. This will provide students with more options for their learning pathways, addressing specific and personalized learning needs, and aligning with the future demands of the workforce.
Additionally, high school students with excellent academic achievements, enrolled in programs offered by EMG Education in Vietnam, including the Integrated English Program, will have the opportunity to receive scholarships to participate in undergraduate courses and research at the University of California Irvine in the United States and earn university certificate upon completion of these courses.
Mr. Truong Quoc Hung, Chairman of EMG Education's Board of Directors, shared: "The University of California Irvine is one of the most prestigious and highest-quality educational institutions in the United States, particularly in the fields of technology and innovation in education.
