Promising Prospects for International Cooperation. NCWU has a long history of international cooperation. Since 1958, it has begun to accept international students and assisted in the construction of Vietnam University of Water Resources and Hydropower. In recent years, NCWU has paid more attention to international cooperation and exchanges, implemented the strategy of activating NCWU by opening-up, and constantly improved the strength of school running and internationalization. It has signed cooperation agreements with high level universities all over the world, including Swinburne University of Technology in Australia, University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in France, Teesside University in the UK, Keimyung University in Korea, Ural Federal University in Russia and so on, to carry out Sino-foreign cooperation in school running.
