vision & values

THE PFIEV aims to educate technical and scientific executives of high value, with an international dimension, intended to practice in Vietnam or to radiate throughout the world.
The PFIEV is also a space for cooperation between Vietnamese and French academic institutions to constantly renew the content and teaching methods and push the excellence of the PFIEV to the highest level.
THE PFIEV is constantly renewing itself (new options, revised programs, more internship opportunities and international stays) to meet the ever-increasing demands of the competition...

Many students continue their studies in France thanks to the support
of the consortium.

A consortium of French establishments brings its scientific and educational expertise as well as its experience in engineering training to Vietnamese establishments. This is reflected in particular by the definition of teaching programs, the development of equipment projects and exchanges of practice with Vietnamese colleagues. The members of the consortium participate in the end-of-study defenses and annually follow the evolution of the program with the Vietnamese actors.

This consortium is made up
of 9 French establishments:
