Student research activities have been a cherished tradition at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities for many years.

This activity contributes to improving the quality of training, especially in the context of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities developing towards a research-oriented university, with research as the central activity to enhance the quality and effectiveness of other aspects of its operations.

Speaking at the conference, Professor Nguyen Van Kim (Party Secretary, Vice Rector of the University) highly praised this year's student research projects: "Besides theoretical issues, the topics have closely followed many practical issues in life, current events, and society. I am also very pleased to see that students have increasingly invested more effort and dedication in their research projects."
