This program spans two and a half years. For the first year, all students are required to attend at least 10 courses. Before their study at Okayama University, students are taught Japanese, and they also have to prepare for their research papers. Upon completion of one and a half year at Hue University, students will finalize their study at Okayama University, where they will be granted Master's degrees.

Up to now, there have been 8 students graduated from the first cohort. Among them, two are continuing their Doctoral study in Japan, three received Vietnam's Government-funded PhD scholarships, while the others are working back at their home towns effectively with their trained specialty.
