The admission score of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities this year may be 0.5 - 1 point higher than last year.

Professor, the grading of the 2020 high school graduation exams in localities is almost finished, and there have been many high-scoring exams. What do you predict about the admission scores for the majors of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities this year?

First of all, the school still receives the same number of applications as in previous years. This shows that students' interest in the school is still very stable, positive and enthusiastic.

Second, the Ministry of Education and Training announced that the 2020 high school graduation exam will be easy and ensure differentiation. Those working in the education sector predict that if the national average score is higher, the average score of schools will also be higher than previous years.

Therefore, the standard score and floor score for university admission are certainly higher. The standard score may be 0.5 - 1 point higher, depending on the concentration of applications in each major; but there are also majors with the same score as last year. As for the floor score for university admission, it is around 16 points, some majors will be up to 18 points.

Professor Hoang Tuan Anh predicts that the admission scores for majors at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities may increase by 0.5 - 1 point compared to last year.

Which majors of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities have high admission scores, sir?

Looking from last year's experience, the majors with high scores are Tourism Management, Hotel Management, Journalism, Public Relations, Psychology, Korean Studies, Japanese Studies, Oriental Studies, International Studies, Information Management. There are even many civil majors of the school with the highest scores in the country such as Oriental Studies... very interesting. Even the majors that are not popular at the school, the standard scores are never low.

In 2019, while many universities lowered their admission scores to 13, 14, 15, 16, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities still set the lowest admission scores for all majors at 17 - 18 points; the average score was 22 - 23 - 24 points and there were some majors that were among the highest in the country at 27.5 - 27.75 points. I think this year's admission scores for these majors are basically the same as last year but may be higher in some majors.

Does the Covid-19 epidemic affect the number of applications and admission scores for the majors of Tourism Management and Hotel Management?

Interestingly, when students registered for the first round of admission - that was the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic and also the stagnation of the tourism industry. But the students still expressed their desire to study tourism.

Objectively speaking, with the development of science and technology, people will quickly control the epidemic in a few weeks, if not a few months. We know that the Russian and American vaccines are close, and even Vietnam is on the way. The epidemic is a challenge for humanity. The story of tourism, air transport, sea transport, trade... may be temporarily stagnant, but after the epidemic, the rise will always be higher. The same goes for tourism, when conditions permit, people will travel more.

Therefore, as smart people, you know that the epidemic affects in the short term, not the long term. So the story of you going to school will not affect the next few years. When you are passionate about your career, you should confidently register for your favorite major to study. That is not to mention, in the world of 4.0, all things are connected, it is normal for us to study one thing but do something else on the side.

Thank you!
