International Intership trip to KIGAM, South Korea, 04-10 August

In a close collaboration with Korean Institute of Geology & Minerals (KIGAM),  the Professional Master of Engineering in Geo-Exploration and Petroleum Geo-Engineering (PME-GEPG) organised an intership trip as part of the study program to South Korea from 04 to 10 August, 2013, following the first trip of last year in September. On the intership trip, the program co-organized a joint seminar for their graduate students and UST students (University of Science and Technology). This venture was coordinated by Dr. Pham Huy Giao of AIT and Dr. Seonghyung Jang, Director of Petroleum and Marine Information Research Center of KIGAM, also an adjunct faculty member of the PME-GEPG program at AIT-VN, in HCM City since 2010.

During the one-week long trip, the students had an opportunity to attend the MOU Signing Ceremony between Vietnam Association for Geophysicists (VAG) and Korean Society of Earth and Exploration Geophysicists (KSEG) and visited one of the most prestigious universities in South Korea, Seoul National University.

 During the trip, we have a precious chance to take a city tour around Seoul and Deajon city, which has always a nice memory about Korean culture and the people here.
