This April, to advance international education cooperation, a delegation from Shanghai International Fashion Education Center (SIFEC), led by Vice President Tim Xu, visited Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore. The tour strengthened SIFEC's recruitment network, expanded institutional partnerships, and opened pathways for international programs.

At the IFFTI Annual Conference hosted by RMIT Ho Chi Minh City, SIFEC joined global fashion education leaders in discussions on sustainability and green development. The delegation also reviewed preparations for SIFEC's Ho Chi Minh City Recruitment Office, scheduled to open in May to support recruitment across Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

In Hanoi, SIFEC met with the CCN Alliance office at Hanoi University to explore recruitment and academic pathway cooperation. With CCN's local resources, both sides discussed connecting Vietnamese students with SIFEC programs in fashion design, fashion business, and marketing.

In Kuala Lumpur, SIFEC held talks with UniKL, UOW Malaysia KDU, and HELP University on cooperation models, including curriculum co-development, degree articulation, credit transfer, short-term English programs, and multi-stage collaborative frameworks, laying a foundation for cross-border study options.

In Singapore, the delegation met with PSB Academy, EAIM, GICE, NTU, the Singapore Study Center, and Amity Global Institute to discuss curriculum alignment, student support, cross-cultural teaching, preparatory courses, degree articulation, and expanded subject offerings.

Spanning three countries and five cities, the tour marked a strategic step in SIFEC's global development. Moving forward, SIFEC will deepen regional partnerships, integrate quality resources and contribute Chinese fashion education expertise to global talent cultivation.
