UNIVERSITY ADMISSION 2024: Admission and Career Orientation Day in Ho Chi Minh City 2024 – UEH attracting a large number of parents and students to learn about 56 multi-disciplinary programs

08 Mar, 2024

On March 3, University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) and nearly 100 domestic and foreign universities, colleges, intermediate schools, and study-abroad consulting centers participated in the University Admission and Career Orientation Day in Ho Chi Minh City at the University of Technology (Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City), organized by Tuoi Tre newspaper in coordination with the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), General Department of Vocational Training, and the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs.

This was an annual consulting activity for student candidates before registering for university admission in 2024. In addition, the orientation day was also an information provider to help students and parents understand more about programs offered by UEH.

On that day, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Deputy Director of University of Economics (UEH) Ho Chi Minh City - was invited to conduct face-to-face consultation sessions with the Ministry of Education and Training and major universities in the city to answer all concerns of candidates and parents.

Answering questions from parents interested in economics about which sector is forecasted to have the greatest job opportunities for the next 5 years, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao shared: "Most students and parents want to choose a major that suits the needs of society to have wide job opportunities. However, in the current context of the country and world economy, it is difficult to make accurate forecasts for the next few years regarding which occupations will have the most job opportunities. In particular, in the current booming technology era, the behavior of consumers and regulators has changed a lot. Current training trends are transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, and multi-disciplinary. Professions that have combined knowledge and skills in different fields will be secure for future university degree holders.

Currently, there has been a trend of combining the application of science and technology, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence to solve traditional economic problems. Don't equate college with seeking a job. At university, what students enjoy is self-study and self-research to change and upgrade themselves so that their university degree is never old or outdated, no matter how the economy develops.

Therefore, choosing a career that matches the development trend of society is important;however, what is equally important is how to study and study at what school. We need to choose a major that suits our qualities. If we choose to study a trendy field, but we are not suitable for it, we cannot exploit our full potential to develop. You should choose careers that resonate and are combined with the trend of technology explosion and innovation."

This year, the school enrolls 70 students in Arttech. They will study with international lecturers from China, Italy, Korea, Germany, and France."
