The academic programs offered by VNU-USSH attract considerable interest from both prospective students and parents.

Here are some points that candidates should keep in mind when preparing for the high school graduation exam and college/university entrance exams in 2025.

2025 will be the first year that students take the high school graduation exam under the 2018 general education program. According to the Ministry of Education and Training, this year's university and college admission regulations will include some adjustments to ensure fairness, transparency, and convenience for all candidates studying all subject combinations.
Informing students at the event, Professor Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Ha - Deputy Director of the Department of Quality Management of Education (Ministry of Education and Training) said: this year's graduation assessment score will include both exam scores and academic scores from high school, in a 50/50 ratio. Therefore, students' academic scores throughout their studies are very important.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Anh Dung, Deputy Head of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), candidates using the high school transcript-based admission method should note that this year's new regulations will use the academic results of the entire 12th grade year (instead of only the first semester's scores as in previous years). Therefore, adhering to the academic requirements of the high school curriculum is crucial to increase their chances of university admission.
To increase admission opportunities for candidates and ensure fairness, the Ministry of Education and Training does not limit the number of subject combinations for admission. Therefore, in addition to traditional subject combinations, educational institutions may add new combinations. Thus, students only need to focus on choosing majors they are truly passionate about and that match their abilities, ranking them in order of priority from highest to lowest.
Regarding the conversion of equivalent scores between different admission methods, Mr. Dung stated that this is a technical issue aimed at ensuring the rights of the candidates.

During the in-person counseling sessions, many students and parents expressed concerns about job opportunities after graduation in the context of the Industry 4.0 era, with the penetration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into all aspects of social life.
Regarding this concern, Associate Professor Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong shared: The current context, with the rapid development of technology, presents many challenges but also numerous opportunities for Generation Z students if they know how to seize opportunities and receive proper training. For example, in the field of journalism and media: Artificial intelligence provides tools to process information effectively, creating "robot journalists" and disseminating information across a wide platform. However, AI will never replace humans in all fields and professions, including media and journalism. Journalists not only transmit information but also play a role in social critique, policy guidance, and pursuing humanitarian goals for the community… No AI can do that.
Vice Rector Dang Thi Thu Huong further shared: “To help students keep up with trends, develop creative thinking, and quickly adapt to the demands of the labor market, the training programs of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities have regularly supplemented and updated new modules on creative thinking, technology application in specific fields, or organized training courses on digital skills, GEN AI application skills, etc.”
