Why did I choose journalism?

Ms. Vu Thanh Huong, former student of K36, is currently Head of Game and TV Meeting Department 1 - VTV3, Vietnam Television

“TSince I was a child, I wanted to travel here and there, wanted to meet and interact with many people, especially wanted to have the opportunity to learn and expand my knowledge. These are things that journalism can bring to me most effectively. After many years in the profession, I have had the opportunity to meet many people from poor workers to the Prime Minister, the experience through each trip has made me more mature. Besides, I also love journalism because of the challenges it brings. Journalism always requires great effort and sacrifice when pursuing. A journalist needs a warm heart and a cool head. As a Journalism student at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi, I am extremely proud of my major, my Faculty, my School. I believe that this pride has always existed in many students of our generation until now..."

“I decided to choose the Faculty of Journalism and Communication - Hanoi University of Social Sciences and Humanities because of my interest in traveling and experiencing the lives of people across the S-shaped strip of land. Besides, journalism is always a profession that attracts young people who are dynamic and eager to learn. On the other hand, during the first years of our schooling, the journalism and communication industry in Vietnam was developing very strongly with many innovations and breakthroughs, bringing great career opportunities after graduation as well as practical opportunities while still a student. At the same time, the Faculty of Journalism and Communication had major changes to meet the requirements of training media human resources in the period of international integration. With a modern infrastructure system equivalent to television stations or press agencies outside. This is truly an ideal condition for any student who wishes to pursue a career in journalism and communication in Vietnam. The Faculty of Journalism and Communication also brings brought us a very rich and diverse journalism environment. With many academic and recreational activities besides class. Another lucky thing is that we have received enthusiastic guidance from teachers and especially from senior students, who have been affirming their abilities and have a reputation in the journalism profession."

The Faculty of Journalism and Communication is one of the largest journalism training centers in the country. Students of the Faculty of Journalism not only learn about modern journalism theory, but also have the opportunity to practice their profession while still in school.

“I chose to study journalism at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi because when I applied for the major, I clearly realized that journalism is a very dynamic and exciting industry, where I can travel to many places, meet many people, and I feel that journalists are always full of energy. That's why I chose it - a career that gives me many interesting experiences of youth. Up to now, although I am still in the early stages of my journalism career, I still do not regret choosing to study journalism and sticking with this career."

“The ancients have a saying: 'If there is fate, we will meet a thousand miles apart'. Perhaps my 'meeting' with journalism is also thanks to the two words 'fate'. Before, I never really intended to be a journalist, even when many people said I was suitable for this profession. But it is true that 'everything depends on fate', sometimes it is not you who chooses the profession, but the profession chooses you. Until my final year of high school, my dream of 'traveling' has not changed, the only difference is that I want to travel everywhere not as a tour guide or researcher, but as a reporter. I came to journalism naturally, as if I was 'in a daze' and suddenly discovered some truth of life. It is better to consider it as 'fate' with the profession. Thanks to this encounter, I believe that I have 'found the right way home'. Dynamic learning and working atmosphere of the Faculty of Journalism and Communication can really make my dream of becoming a journalist come true. I believe that my choice when registering for the entrance exam to the Faculty of Journalism and Communication and my classmates' was completely correct and accurate...".
