With more than five years of management experience in the higher education sector, Nguyen Thi Phuong, Head of Academic Department, British Education Project, in University of Economics and Law – Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, hopes to further develop her research in the field of transnational programs.
“I graduated with an MBA from the transnational program of the University of Gloucestershire (United Kingdom). After that, I was in charge of many senior management positions in transnational programs, which provided me with extensive background knowledge that supported my PhD thesis a lot,” Ms Phuong said.
“In the context of internationalisation in the higher education sector, my research [at RMIT Vietnam] will take an in-depth look at the effect of institutional governance on the performance of transnational programs in Vietnam Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).”
Ms Phuong hopes the outcomes of her research will be useful for higher education administrators who are deploying transnational programs at their HEIs.
She believes women face more challenges than men when it comes to entering PhD programs, as well as applying for scholarships. However, she encourages women who are considering embarking on this journey: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
