The high achievement in the QS Ranking of ISS-EUR is also the pride and honor of UEH. With a reputable and reliable academic partner, it is hoped that the joint training and research programs between UEH and ISS-EUR will develop in a sustainable manner, contributing to the development and knowledge dissemination.
