The University of Social Sciences and Humanities always encourages and supports students' practical internship activities.
On behalf of the University's delegation visiting the students on their internship, Ms. Kim Thi Diep Ha, Head of the Planning and Finance Department, stated: "Practical internships are not just a course that helps students hone their professional knowledge; they are also a time for students to connect, share, and learn from each other. The work and professional nature of the course may not be easy, especially for many first-year students who are away from home for the first time and may feel a bit lost; but practical internships will help them improve their ability to apply the knowledge they have learned to practice, becoming experiences that will stay with them throughout their lives. Although the time is not long, many students will certainly mature significantly in both awareness and skills."
The school's Board of Directors places great emphasis on and promotes practical training and real-world research in the education process. Therefore, the school always supports and is ready to accompany and share with students throughout their learning journey at the school, as well as during their research trips and internships in the local area.

Practical training - unforgettable experiences.
When asked about the difficulties and memorable experiences during his internship, student Le Hoai Nam shared: "This archaeological internship was truly an incredibly interesting experience that I had never imagined before. The first few days were a bit difficult getting used to the early morning working hours, especially on cold winter days; the professional tasks required a high degree of meticulousness and caution; we had to go to the market ourselves, cook our own meals, etc."
But this is also a truly valuable opportunity for first-year students like me to see, experience, and apply the knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world situations. As a fundamental science and also a social science, history in general and archaeology in particular highly value practicality because no matter how much knowledge is learned in the classroom, if it cannot be applied, it is ineffective. For first-year students, the initial days were quite daunting, but with the dedicated and meticulous guidance of the professors and the hands-on instruction from senior students in the Archaeology major, we quickly became familiar with the technical procedures and caught up with the work schedule.
Furthermore, through this internship, we – first-year students – learned how to live independently, develop a collective lifestyle, discipline, and created many precious memories of the best time of our youth – our student life.
In particular, the past 10 days have made us feel very familiar with the local people, as we ate, lived, worked, and interacted with them, just like a long visit to our hometown. The neighbors were incredibly friendly, supportive, and provided us with food, accommodation, and daily necessities, especially during the cold winter days. Simple gifts from the countryside, like a few kohlrabi, corn, or pomelo, though humble and ordinary, gave us warmth, closeness, and affection. We also participated in the local people's cultural activities. Although our 15-day internship here wasn't long, it truly gave us incredibly interesting experiences and unforgettable memories – a unique "special experience" that only history students can have.
We were also deeply moved when the teachers from the School's delegation came all the way here to visit, encourage, and give us meaningful gifts. This will further motivate us to strive to complete our tasks well and strengthen our love and attachment to the school and the field of study we have chosen.
