Speaking at the closing ceremony, Associate Professor, Dr. Hau Nhat Phu expressed his deep gratitude to the School Board and the lecturers of the Faculty of Philosophy. The enthusiastic teaching and support of the lecturers throughout the course left a deep and unforgettable impression on me and each student. The modern and friendly teaching methods; excellent expertise, profound knowledge; and deep understanding of Vietnamese traditional culture of the lecturers at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities have brought us valuable knowledge and expanded our understanding of Vietnam.
I cannot forget the wonderful experiences in the past 2 months: such as the chess exchange event with professors of the Faculty of Philosophy; being able to join family meals, making Vietnamese spring rolls by myself; visiting many historical, cultural and scenic sites in Vietnam.
Associate Professor, Dr. Hau Nhat Phu expressed his wish and hope that he will soon return to Vietnam and continue to participate in more useful activities at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
On behalf of the students participating in the course, student Dai To Tri emotionally shared: The course ended but opened up new opportunities for students of the two schools in studying and scientific research. Although the course only lasted 2 months, it was truly a very meaningful time for us. We came from many different majors, but from the dedicated teaching and transmission of the teachers of the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, we have acquired a lot of very useful in-depth knowledge. After completing their master's degree, many students will certainly return to Vietnam and continue their PhD studies at the Faculty of Philosophy.
Dai To Tri student shared his wish to have more opportunities to participate in more training courses at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
In addition, we also improved our Vietnamese language skills, had the opportunity to visit and learn about the cultural traditions, cuisine, craft villages and unique culinary features of Vietnam. These are truly experiences that we will never forget. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Nanning University of Education for creating the opportunity for us to participate in this useful course; thank the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the Faculty of Philosophy for their great support to make our course more successful than expected.
