Maintaining an excellent academic record throughout his four years of university, with a GPA of 3.69, Nguyen Tuan Khoi (K53 Oriental Studies) became the valedictorian of the QH-2008-X graduating class in Oriental Studies.Tuan Khoi is known as a bright student who consistently achieved high grades throughout his four years of university in the Department of Oriental Studies. From a young age, Tuan Khoi was passionate about and wanted to learn about Eastern culture, especially Japanese culture. This was the main reason why this young man from Hanoi decided to apply to the Department of Oriental Studies at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities. Tuan Khoi said that his excellent academic performance was thanks to the enthusiastic support of his Japanese language professors:
The professors care deeply about the students and are always looking for scholarships to help them have the opportunity to study in the best environment. In particular, Ms. Phan Hai Linh – Head of the Japanese Studies Department – created all the conditions and helped Khoi secure a scholarship to study in Japan during his second year of university. This is an opportunity to study and learn about Japanese culture that Khoi has long dreamed of.When asked about his study secrets, Tuan Khoi shared:
For me, learning is a hobby, a journey of discovery and seeking new knowledge. Especially now, in a credit-based learning environment, proactively grasping information and managing study schedules is crucial for students. Knowing how to independently search for information and thoroughly understand the curriculum makes learning much smoother."

Besides studying, Tuan Khoi also spends a lot of time participating in local youth group activities and activities that support his Japanese language studies and exploration of Japanese culture. Tuan Khoi said, “
Many young people now love Japanese youth culture, but I prefer to learn about and explore traditional aspects because they have something mysterious and fascinating about them."Tuan Khoi is also very passionate about Yosakoi dancing – a traditional Japanese dance. Yosakoi is loved for its lively melodies, which help relieve stress and fatigue," Tuan Khoi shared. Khoi also excitedly added that the dance club he participates in includes several students from the Polytechnic University, Law University, and Vietnam National University… Every year during the Cherry Blossom Festival in April, Khoi and his friends diligently practice and perform many special acts. Because he studied abroad in Japan, Khoi has quite favorable career and part-time job opportunities. In his third and fourth years of university, Khoi worked part-time at five different places, which gave him a lot of experience to prepare for the future. Currently, in addition to studying and completing his application for graduate school, Tuan Khoi teaches Japanese and works part-time at a Japanese investment promotion company in Vietnam to improve his skills."
