Trong thời gian qua, từ 25/3 đến 05/4/2012, Trường ĐHKHXH&NV đã nhận được nhiều câu hỏi của các thí sinh về kì thi tuyển sinh đại học 2012. Ngoài các câu hỏi chung về lựa chọn ngành thi, quy chế tuyển sinh, chúng tôi đã phân loại và tập trung trả lời về các ngành Tâm lí học, Du lịch học, Đông phương học.
1. Response from the Training Department
1.1. Choosing a field of study for the entrance exam
Hello teachers! I am a 12th-grade student and will be taking the 2012 university entrance exam. I want to apply to a university but I'm undecided between the Archival Studies and Information Science departments. Could you please tell me which department offers more opportunities to work with computer software after graduation?
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong – Training Department: Cơ hội việc làm sau này còn phụ thuộc vào nhiều yếu tố khác nhau, nhưng giữa 02 ngành học này có sự khác biệt đôi chút trong việc đào tạo các kĩ năng liên quan đến tin học. Cụ thể sinh viên ngành Lưu trữ học sẽ được tập trung học các kĩ năng tin học liên quan đến quản trị văn phòng, lưu trữ và quản lí hồ sơ; trong khi đó sinh viên ngành Thông tin học lại được tập trung học các kĩ năng tin học liên quan đến xử lí thông tin, khai thác phần mềm quản lí thông tin và thư viện. Mặc dù sự khác biệt chỉ mang tính chất tương đối, nhưng hi vọng sẽ là một gợi mở để em có thể chọn lựa 1 ngành học phù hợp.
Hello teachers! I have many interests related to film, literature, art, and foreign languages… so I'm very confused between two majors at the university: Literature and International Studies. I would appreciate your advice on choosing the most suitable major with the best career opportunities after graduation. Thank you!
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong – Training Department: Nếu chỉ xét đến các sở thích của em thì có lẽ ngành Văn học sẽ là lựa chọn phù hợp hơn cho em. Còn cơ hội việc làm sau khi ra trường thì dù em học ngành nào trong 02 ngành này cũng sẽ mang lại nhiều cơ hội việc làm để em lựa chọn. Chúc em thành công.
Dear teachers, as far as I know, the Linguistics program at your university has an internationally recognized training standard. So, is the tuition fee for this program the same as other programs, or is it higher?
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong – Training Department: Năm học 2011-2012, mức học phí đối với sinh viên ngành Ngôn ngữ học tương đương với sinh viên hệ CLC của Trường là 400.000đ/tháng, cao hơn 45.000đ/tháng so với sinh viên hệ chính quy các ngành học khác em ạ. Như vậy, mức học phí có chênh lệch nhưng cũng không đáng kể so với những ưu tiên về kinh phí hỗ trợ học tiếng Anh, học bổng mà sinh viên ngành Ngôn ngữ học đang được hưởng.
1.2. Procedures and regulations
+ I read the book "Things You Need to Know"... I saw on page 17 that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, under the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, states that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities organizes the exam for block C, while the University of Technology organizes the exams for blocks A, A1, and B. I don't know how the university organizes the exam. So, when registering for the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, block B, Psychology major, should I fill in Section 2 or Section 3 on the registration form? And how should I fill in Section 2?
I'm taking the C-block exam and want to submit my application to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities starting April 17th. How should I fill in section 13, "Application Submission Location" and "Registration Unit Code"?
I am a private candidate from Nghe An province who wants to take the A-block exam for the university. Do I have to submit my application in person at the University of Science? Can I submit it at the Department of Education and Training and register for the exam in Vinh?
+ I'm planning to take the tourism major entrance exam at the university. I'm taking the D1 exam, but the university only organizes the C exam. So how should I fill out the application form? Should I only fill it in section 2 and not section 3? Does that mean I have to submit an application to another university and get the results from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities?
Hello teachers. I'm taking the university entrance exam this year, and I have a few questions I'd like you to answer. Firstly, regarding item 13 on the university entrance exam registration form: I wrote "University of Social Sciences and Humanities" as the place to submit my application. What should I write as the registration unit code? Secondly, what is the deadline for submitting the university entrance exam registration form?

I would like to ask about regional priority entitlement. For my 10th and 11th grade years, I attended Dao Duy Tu High School in Thanh Xuan, Hanoi. In my 12th grade year, I transferred to Nguyen Binh Khiem High School in Ha Long, Quang Ninh. Therefore, I would like to ask whether I should circle KV2 or KV3 in the section for regional priority entitlement? Thank you!
Mr. Nguyen Van Hong – Training DepartmentAccording to the current admission regulations, you will be eligible for priority admission to Dao Duy Tu High School, Thanh Xuan, Hanoi, because you have studied there for two years. Good luck!

From what I've researched, in Hanoi, only the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and Hanoi Pedagogical University offer psychology programs, but which one provides more in-depth training? Are there any differences in teaching methods between these two universities?
MSc. Nguyen Van Luot – Deputy Head of the Department of PsychologyHello, currently in Hanoi there are three institutions offering Psychology programs: the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi Pedagogical University (Psychology with only one specialization: School Psychology), and the Academy of Educational Management (which started admitting students in 2006). Psychology has been offered at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities since 1992. With a 21-year tradition of training, students in this field will be equipped with fundamental, systematic, and comprehensive knowledge of Psychology. By the end of their third year, students can choose one of four specializations: Social Psychology, Management-Business Psychology, Counseling Psychology, or Therapeutic Psychology. The current teaching staff of the Faculty consists of 21 lecturers, including 10 with PhDs, 1 Professor, and 5 Associate Professors. Currently, Hanoi National University is investing in building a psychology practice room to help the Faculty improve the quality of its training. This is very important news for prospective students wishing to study Psychology, as it will be a direct practice facility at the University, in addition to the community-based practice facilities that the Faculty has built over the years.

3. Response from the Faculty of Tourism Studies
I would like to ask if the English exam for the Tourism and Travel Service Management major is doubled? And what is the tuition fee?
Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, M.Sc. – Deputy Head of the Faculty of Tourism StudiesHello. The Tourism and Travel Service Management program accepts students from blocks C, D, and A. English scores are not doubled; however, strong foreign language skills are an advantage for graduates when working in tourism-related positions. I wish you success. The tuition fee for students in the Tourism and Travel Service Management program in the 2012-2013 academic year was a maximum of 480,000 VND/month. This tuition fee is regulated by the Government in Decree 49/2010/ND-CP, dated May 14, 2010.
I want to apply to the Tourism and Travel Service Management program at our university. Could you please tell me about it?
1. What specializations are available in this field?
2. Where and when will the internship take place? Does our university have any partnerships for students to study this major abroad?
3. Will I be taking any additional foreign language courses when I start studying?
4. Can I enroll in any other majors at the same university while studying this one?
Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, M.Sc. – Deputy Head of the Faculty of Tourism StudiesHi, I'm glad you're interested in the Tourism and Travel Service Management program. In their third year, students can choose one of two specializations: Travel Management or Hotel Management. The entire course includes three mandatory internships, comprising:
- The comprehensive internship involves a 10-day trip from Hanoi to Quang Ngai, taking place between the end of the 4th and 6th semesters, depending on the specific training schedule. Currently, the Faculty of Tourism Studies is also piloting a number of diverse internship and practical training programs abroad (5-7 days) in countries such as China, Thailand, and Laos, allowing students to voluntarily choose.
- Internship in tourism or hospitality during the 7th semester, with specific requirements determined by the instructor in accordance with the training content.
- Graduate internships can be undertaken at restaurants, hotels, travel companies, service businesses, government agencies, etc., within the tourism industry. These are all partners that have signed cooperation agreements with the Faculty, or students can choose their own partners according to their needs.
In addition, there are other voluntary internships and practical training programs organized by subject teachers. Students from their second year onwards can choose to participate in a paid internship program in Singapore with over 20 multinational companies for a period of 6-12 months. This program is implemented by the University's Science and Tourism Services Company. Students receive a salary of over 8 million VND for 44-48 hours of internship per month, are provided with accommodation, at least one meal per day, and other insurance benefits. Students receive a certificate of completion from the internship provider. Students in this major can choose to study one of four foreign languages: English, Russian, French, or Chinese, and can register for additional courses in any other language (through credit accumulation). From their second year, eligible students can enroll in dual degree programs managed by member universities of the Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Regarding international collaborative programs, students can participate in 2+2 programs with Guangxi University (China), 3+1 programs with Pussan University (Korea), and a one-semester student exchange program with the University of Munich (Germany) with preferential tuition fees. After graduation, students can participate in a Master's program in Hotel Management taught in English with the University of Toulouse II (France). Currently, the Faculty of Tourism Studies is negotiating and implementing other collaborative training programs with universities in Thailand, Malaysia, Scotland, New Zealand, and other countries.
4. Response from the Department of Oriental Studies
I'd like to ask if the English score for the Korean Studies major (D1 group) is multiplied by a factor of 2?
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang – Deputy Head of the Faculty of Oriental StudiesHello, first of all, please note that you need to check exactly which university offers the Korean Studies program you are asking about. At the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Faculty of Oriental Studies offers a Bachelor's degree in Oriental Studies, specializing in Korean Studies. This is different from some other universities that offer a Bachelor's degree in Korean Studies. As for the Oriental Studies program at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, it accepts students from the D1 (up to D6) subject groups, but the foreign language subject score is not multiplied by a factor of 2.
I don't know Korean, can I still study this major? I'm also very interested in Korean tourism; will studying this major lead to a career in that field, or do I have to study tourism specifically? Thank you.
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang – Deputy Head of the Faculty of Oriental StudiesHi. If you pass the entrance exam to the Department of Oriental Studies, you'll only start specializing in a particular field and begin learning the language of that specialization from a beginner level in the second semester of your first year. Therefore, if you don't know Korean before entering the Department, there's no need to worry. Most students are like that, so they'll start learning from the alphabet. After graduation, you can absolutely use your Korean to work in the tourism industry if you have an aptitude for it.
What are the scholarship opportunities in Oriental Studies? What are the requirements for receiving a scholarship?
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang – Deputy Head of the Faculty of Oriental StudiesStudents in the Department of Oriental Studies may be eligible for the following scholarships:
- Scholarships are awarded according to regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.
- Scholarships from foreign organizations and individuals.
- Scholarships for studying abroad.
After completing one semester in the Department of Oriental Studies, the university and the department will assign students to specific majors based on their first semester exam scores and the quotas for each department. Opportunities for overseas study vary slightly between departments, but generally, students have a chance to receive scholarships to study abroad from the end of their second to third year. Due to strong relationships with foreign organizations and universities, students in the Department of Oriental Studies have a relatively high chance of receiving this type of scholarship compared to other departments in the university.
As far as I know, after the first year, the school will assign students to majors based on their first semester GPA and their preferences. Does this mean each major requires a different academic record? And if my academic results aren't good enough, will I still be able to study the major I want?
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang – Deputy Head of the Faculty of Oriental StudiesAfter completing one semester in the Department of Oriental Studies, the university and the department will assign students to specific majors based on their first semester exam scores and the quotas of each department. This means the specialization assignment will take place at the end of the first semester of the first year, and students will begin their specialization in the second semester of that year. As you mentioned, each specialization requires different academic results depending on the number and average scores of students applying in the first semester of the first year, as well as the quotas for each major. Therefore, your academic performance is extremely important, but it also depends on which specialization you choose. I wish you continued success.
I want to apply to the Department of Oriental Studies. Could you please tell me the names of companies and organizations where I could work after graduation? I'm still quite uncertain about career opportunities after graduation.
Dr. Pham Thi Thu Giang – Deputy Head of the Faculty of Oriental StudiesI don't know which major in the Faculty of Oriental Studies you plan to apply for, but generally, graduates from the Faculty usually work at the following organizations:
- Training and research institutions
- Domestic and foreign businesses
- International organizations
- Relevant administrative agencies.
Specifically, graduates majoring in Japanese Studies will work at the following organizations:
- Middle schools, high schools, universities... offer Japanese language or Japanese culture courses.
- The Institute of Northeast Asian Studies (under the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences) or other centers conducting research on Japan.
- Domestic businesses have partners that are Japanese companies, Vietnamese-Japanese joint ventures, or companies with 100% Japanese capital.
- The Japanese Embassy, Consulates, Japan Foundation, JICA, etc.
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs, local foreign affairs departments...
Please feel free to continue asking questions.
