The consultation session was attended by Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan (Party Secretary, Principal of the School), lecturers and staff of the Institute of Journalism and Communication, the faculties of International Studies, Psychology, History and many students studying at the school.
The event on March 17, 2024, organized by Tuoi Tre newspaper in coordination with the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), the General Department of Vocational Education (Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs), and Hanoi University of Science and Technology, with the support of Vingroup, attracted the attention of more than 100 universities and colleges with 280 consulting booths - the largest scale ever.
At the main stage of the Admissions Consulting Day at the University of Science and Technology, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Tien Thao, Director of the Testing Center of VNU, the organizer of the Competency Assessment Test, also explained clearly and provided information that parents and students need to pay attention to about the exams that will be held in 2024, about the structure of the exam, and the testing method.

Responding to the concerns and discussions of many students and parents, Prof. Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan (Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities) shared: basically in 2024, the school will maintain the same enrollment method as in 2023, but the quota will increase by 15%, which will increase the opportunity for many students to be able to enter the major they love. In addition to the 27 majors currently being trained, in 2024, the school plans to enroll in a new major: Cinema and Popular Arts to meet the demand for human resources in this field. Principal Hoang Anh Tuan also noted that students need to closely follow and update information on the school's official communication channels (website, fanpage), promptly grasp the latest information on the enrollment plan, introduction of majors, quotas, specific exam blocks for each major, early and specific admission rounds according to VNU's regulations to make the most effective decisions, maximizing the chance of being admitted to the major they love.

At the VNU-USSH consulting booth from 6:30 am, many students came to learn about the majors as well as the admission methods of the school. In particular, the image of the "calligraphers" of Humanities in traditional costumes, showing soft and talented calligraphy attracted the attention of many students and parents.

From early morning until almost 12 noon, the area of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is always crowded with candidates waiting to get advice.
Xuan Mai, a 12th grade student at Chuong My B High School, excitedly shared: “
My schoolmates and I arrived here very early. The first school we visited was the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Because I really love and want to learn more about the Linguistics and Literature majors of the school. I didn't expect that when we came here, we would not only have many questions about the admission method and the majors that could suit our abilities and interests answered, but also have meaningful calligraphy. Even though we were just students, the students of the school wrote beautifully and explained to me in detail the meaning of the words - I really admired them. After listening to specific advice about the majors, we felt more confident and will try our best to achieve our dreams.”.
Xuan Mai is very happy to receive a meaningful gift from the school.
Mai Huynh Man Nghi (a student from Hoang Cau High School, Hanoi) listened attentively to the teachers and students from the History Department sharing about this major at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. “I have long loved history and have also learned about the University. Today, with the enthusiastic advice of the teachers and students, I found the program and learning environment very suitable for me. I am even more determined to try my best to be admitted to the upcoming university entrance exam. I hope I will achieve my wish and become a student of the university that I have loved for a long time.”
Man Nghi shared: I was extremely touched and happy to take a photo with the Principal and also a former student of the Faculty of History.
From Tran Phu High School for the Gifted, Hai Phong, Khoa Huu (grade 12 student) had to wake up at 4am to catch a bus to be at the University of Technology and meet teachers and students of Humanities early in the morning because of his special love for the University's Psychology major. "I met the teachers and students of my school at the consultation session at the Maritime University, but today I am still here to meet the teachers again and also to get more specific advice about the major I love" - the Hai Phong boy excitedly shared.

According to Dr. Nguyen Van Dap (lecturer of the International Studies Department): “This year, the number of candidates attending the Fair has increased significantly compared to last year. Most parents and students have also researched the majors they are interested in on the school's media channels and through the press, so the consultation process is also faster and more effective. In addition to the main concern of the study program, information about tuition fees, scholarships, internship opportunities, practice and jobs after graduation, etc. is what parents and candidates want to be thoroughly consulted. A very good thing is that this year, high school students not only focus on the school's "hot" majors, but many of them show interest and want to learn deeply about basic sciences, especially students from specialized high schools in Hanoi and some neighboring provinces.
“The School Board of Directors and the Admissions Department have closely followed the concerns of candidates and parents through previous admissions consulting seasons, so a large number of staff have been added to provide timely and in-depth advice on the School's majors for a large number of candidates and parents,” Dr. Nguyen Van Dap added.
Parents were very happy and reassured when VNU-USSH lecturers shared information about internship opportunities at domestic enterprises, as well as study exchanges abroad for the International Studies major as well as other majors of the School.
