Thirty-one students with the highest GPA have dedicated themselves to diligent and passionate work, under the enthusiastic guidance of their professors, to produce the best possible scientific research. Some professors had to supervise three or four students on their theses, yet they remained dedicated, working not only with high responsibility but also with joy and enthusiasm. The Faculty leadership always provided the best possible conditions for the Faculty's educational work, especially showing concern and encouragement for the faculty and students during this final stage of their studies and the presentation of their research results. With this spirit of dedication, the graduation thesis defense for the 55th cohort was both open, friendly, and solemn.

The thesis defense program was divided into two subcommittees, working diligently and seriously throughout the day. Students presented their research findings with a much more mature style compared to previous student scientific conferences, demonstrating remarkable growth after years of study at the university. Many students impressed their professors with their confident, fluent, and engaging presentations. With a background in Vietnamese Studies, the students' research topics were diverse, approached from various angles, and conducted using different methods. This diversity created the appeal of the field of study and opened up promising research opportunities for the future.

All the theses of the 55th cohort of students met the requirements, with many studies receiving excellent grades. Although some students did not achieve the desired results, all students tried their best. Through the work process, especially from this defense session, students had the opportunity to expand their knowledge and better understand the arduous but meaningful work of research. In addition, this was also a chance for a reunion between teachers and students before the end of a course at the Faculty.

The farewell party for the teachers and students was filled with emotion. Although they knew they would meet again, having traveled such a long and passionate journey together, both teachers and students couldn't help but feel nostalgic. The students presented the Faculty with a very meaningful painting on the theme of "Virtue." No matter what profession they choose or what life takes them, they should always remember the meaning of "Virtue." And they hoped that the sun would always shine on their path.
