During the past time, from March 25 to April 5, 2012, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has received many questions from candidates about the 2012 university entrance exam. In addition to general questions about choosing majors and admission regulations, we have classified and focused on answering questions about the majors of Psychology, Tourism, and Oriental Studies.
1. Response from the Training Department
1.1. Choosing the field to apply for
Hello teachers? I am a 12th grade student and will take the university entrance exam in 2012. I want to take the entrance exam but I am hesitating between the Faculty of Archival Science and the Faculty of Information Science. Could you please tell me which faculty will give me more opportunities to work with computer software after graduation?
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong - Training Department: Future job opportunities depend on many different factors, but there are slight differences between these two majors in training computer-related skills. Specifically, students majoring in Archival Science will focus on learning computer skills related to office administration, archiving and records management; while students majoring in Information Science will focus on learning computer skills related to information processing, exploiting information management software and libraries. Although the difference is only relative, hopefully it will be a suggestion for you to be able to choose a suitable major.
Hello teachers! I have many interests related to cinema, literature, arts, foreign languages…so I am very confused between the two majors of the school: Literature and International Studies. I hope the teachers can advise me on choosing the most suitable major and have many career opportunities after graduation. Thank you!
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong - Training Department: If we only consider your interests, then Literature is probably the more suitable choice for you. As for job opportunities after graduation, no matter which of these two majors you study, there will be many job opportunities for you to choose from. Good luck.
Dear teachers, as far as I know, the Linguistics major at the school has an international training program. So is the tuition fee for this major the same as other majors or higher?
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong - Training Department: In the 2011-2012 school year, the tuition fee for Linguistics students is equivalent to that of the School's CLC students, which is 400,000 VND/month, 45,000 VND/month higher than that of full-time students of other majors. Thus, the tuition fee is different but not significant compared to the priorities in funding support for English learning and scholarships that Linguistics students are enjoying.
1.2. Procedures and regulations
+ I have exclusive rights to things to know... I see that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is under the Vietnam National University, Hanoi. On page 17, it says that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities organizes exams for block C, while the University of Natural Sciences organizes exams for blocks A, A1, B. I don't know how the school organizes the exams? So when registering for the University of Social Sciences and Humanities block B, majoring in psychology, do I fill in the Registration Form Section 2 or Section 3 and how do I fill in Section 2?
+ I am taking the C block exam and want to submit my application to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities from April 17. So in section 13. Place of submission of application and Registration Unit Code, how should I write it?
+ I am a self-study candidate in Nghe An who wants to take the A block exam to enter the school. I have to go to the University of Natural Sciences to submit my application. Can I submit it at the Department of Education and Training and register for the exam cluster in Vinh?
+ I plan to take the exam for tourism at the university. I'm taking the D1 block exam but the university only organizes the C block exam. So what should I write in the registration form? Only write in section 2 and not in section 3? Does that mean I have to fill out a registration form for another university and get the results back to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities?
+ Hello teachers. This year I am taking the university entrance exam, and I have some questions that I would like the teachers to answer. Firstly, item 13 in the university entrance exam registration form: I wrote the place of application as the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, so what is the registration unit code? Secondly, what is the deadline for submitting the application to the school?
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong - Training Department: Regarding instructions on filling out and submitting the application, candidates can see details at the following address: http://ussh.vnu.edu.vn/tu-van-khoi-thi-va-noi-nop-ho-so-tuyen-sinh-dh-2012/5699. For candidates submitting their application directly to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, section 13 will record the application unit code as 99.
I would like to ask about regional priority. During the 10th and 11th grade, I studied at Dao Duy Tu High School, Thanh Xuan, Hanoi. In the 12th grade, I transferred to Nguyen Binh Khiem High School, Ha Long, Quang Ninh. So teachers, can you tell me in the section on circling the priority area, should I circle KV2 or KV3? Thank you!
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong - Training Department: According to the current admission regulations, you will enjoy the priority area of Dao Duy Tu High School, Thanh Xuan, Hanoi because you have studied here for 2 years. Wish you success.
2. Response from the Department of Psychology
I want to apply to the psychology department of the school but the quota is 80 and they do not accept second choices. Is the competition rate for this major high?
MSc. Nguyen Van Luot - Deputy Head of Department of Psychology: Hello, first of all, I have to clarify that the Psychology major does not only recruit the first choice. Whether or not the second choice is accepted depends on the candidate's score and the school's admission score depending on each year. Below is information about the quota, admission score and the number of applications for the Psychology major in the last 3 years. You can refer to it and make the right choice for yourself.
- Standard score (1st wish): 2009, block C - 18 points, block D - 18 points; 2010, block A - 17 points, block C - 19 points, block D - 18 points; 2011, block A - 16.5 points, block C - 18.5 points, block D - 19 points.

According to my research, in Hanoi, only the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and Hanoi National University of Education offer psychology training, but which school offers more specialized training? Is there any difference in the teaching methods of these two schools?
MSc. Nguyen Van Luot - Deputy Head of Department of Psychology: Hello, currently in Hanoi there are 3 places training Psychology including: University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi Pedagogical University (Psychology with only 1 major: School Psychology) and Academy of Educational Management (started enrollment in 2006). Psychology has been trained at University of Social Sciences and Humanities since 1992. With 21 years of training tradition, students studying this major will be equipped with basic, systematic and general knowledge of Psychology. By the end of the 3rd year, students have the right to choose 1 of 4 majors: Social Psychology, Management-Business Psychology, Counseling Psychology, and Therapy Psychology. The current teaching staff of the Faculty has 21 lecturers, of which 10 have PhD degrees, 1 Professor and 5 Associate Professors. Currently, Hanoi National University is investing in building a psychology practice room for the Faculty to promote the improvement of training quality. This is very important news for candidates who wish to study Psychology because this is a direct practice facility at the University in addition to the system of practice facilities in the community that the Faculty has built over the years.

3. Response from the Faculty of Tourism Studies
I want to ask if the tourism and travel service management exam includes double English subject? And how much is the tuition fee?
MSc. Nguyen Thu Thuy - Deputy Head of Faculty of Tourism Studies: Hello. The Tourism and Travel Services Management major enrolls students in groups C, D and A. English scores are not doubled, however, being good at foreign languages is an advantage for students after graduation when working in professional positions in the tourism industry. I wish you success. The highest tuition fee for students majoring in Tourism and Travel Services Management in the 2012-2013 school year is 480,000 VND/month. This is the tuition fee regulated by the Government in Decree 49/2010/ND-CP, dated May 14, 2010.
I want to take the exam for tourism and travel services management at our school. Can the teachers tell me:
1. What are the majors in this industry?
2. Where and when is the internship? Does your school have a partnership for students to study abroad in this major?
3. When you start school, do you have to take any foreign language classes?
4. Can I register to study another major at the school while studying this major?
MSc. Nguyen Thu Thuy - Deputy Head of Faculty of Tourism Studies: Hello, I am glad that you are interested in the Tourism and Travel Services Management major. In the third year, students can choose one of two majors: Travel Management and Hotel Management. The entire course has 3 compulsory internships, including:
- Comprehensive internship with a 10-day trip from Hanoi to Quang Ngai, the implementation time is from the end of the 4th semester to the 6th semester depending on the specific training process.

- Internship in the tourism or hotel industry in the 7th semester, specific requirements are determined by the specialized teacher in accordance with the training content

4. Response from the Faculty of Oriental Studies
Can I ask if the entrance exam for Korean Studies block D1, English has a coefficient of 2?
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang - Deputy Head of Faculty of Oriental Studies: Hello, first of all, please note that you need to check exactly which school is recruiting for the Korean Studies major you asked about because at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Faculty of Oriental Studies trains Bachelors in Oriental Studies, specializing in Korean Studies. This is different from some other schools that train Bachelors in Korean Studies. As for the Oriental Studies major of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, it recruits students from group D1 (up to D6) but does not multiply the coefficient by 2 for foreign languages.
I don't know Korean yet, can I study this major? Rm also loves Korean tourism, can I work in that field by studying this major or do I have to study tourism? Thank you.
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang - Deputy Head of Faculty of Oriental Studies: Hello. If you pass the entrance exam to the Faculty of Oriental Studies, you will start to major in the second semester of your first year and will start to learn the foreign language of that major from the elementary level. Therefore, if you do not know Korean before entering the Faculty, there is no problem. Most students are like that, so you will learn from the alphabet. After graduation, you can completely use that Korean to work in the tourism field if you are inclined towards that field.
Is there a high chance of getting a scholarship in Oriental Studies? What are the conditions to get a scholarship?
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang - Deputy Head of Faculty of Oriental Studies: Students of the Faculty of Oriental Studies can receive the following scholarships:
- Scholarships according to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training
- Scholarships from foreign organizations and individuals
- Scholarships to study abroad
After entering the Faculty of Oriental Studies for 1 semester, the school and the Faculty will proceed to assign majors based on the exam scores of the first semester and the quota of each Department. The opportunities to study abroad in each department are somewhat different, but usually students will have the opportunity to receive scholarships to study abroad from the end of the 2nd year to the end of the 3rd year. Due to good relationships with foreign organizations and universities, the opportunity to receive this type of scholarship for students of the Faculty of Oriental Studies is quite high compared to the general level of other departments in the school at present.
As far as I know, after the first year, the school will base on the first semester's final score and the student's wishes to classify them into majors. Does that mean that each major requires different learning outcomes? And if my learning outcomes are not good, can I still study the major I like?
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang - Deputy Head of Faculty of Oriental Studies: After entering the Faculty of Oriental Studies for 1 semester, the school and the Faculty will proceed to assign majors based on the exam scores of the first semester and the quota of each Department. This means that the assignment of majors will be carried out at the end of the first semester of the first year and students will enter the major from the second semester of that school year. As you said, each major will require different learning outcomes depending on the number and average score of the first semester of the first year of the students who wish as well as the quota of each major. Therefore, your learning outcomes will be extremely important, but also depend on which major you will register for. I wish you every success.
I want to take the entrance exam to the Faculty of Oriental Studies. Can you tell me the names of companies and organizations where I can work after graduation? I am still quite vague about career opportunities after graduation?
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang - Deputy Head of Faculty of Oriental Studies: I don't know which major you plan to take the exam for in the Faculty of Oriental Studies, but in general, after graduating, students of the Faculty often work at the following agencies:
- Training and research institutions
- Domestic and foreign enterprises
- International organizations
- Relevant administrative agencies.
Specifically, after graduation, Japanese students will work at the following agencies:
- Junior high schools, high schools, universities... teach Japanese language or Japanese culture.
- Northeast Asia Institute (under the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences) or centers with research on Japan
- Domestic enterprises with partners being Japanese enterprises, Vietnam-Japan joint venture enterprises or 100% Japanese-owned enterprises.
- Embassy, Consulate of Japan, Japan Foundation, JICA...
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Local Foreign Affairs Departments...
Please continue to ask questions.
