Why did I choose the Humanities?

* Nguyễn Thị Vân Anh (K56 Khoa Du lịch học): “Tuyển sinh thêm khối A - cơ hội mới cho những “đam mê khoa học xã hội”

Mình yêu thích các ngành khoa học xã hội từ trước nhưng vì ôn thi khối A nên nghĩ rằng không có cơ hội được học tại Trường ĐHKHXH&NV - một trường ĐH danh tiếng và lâu đời. Được biết từ năm 2009, Nhà trường có tuyển sinh khối A, mình mừng lắm và quyết tâm thi đỗ. 

Mình quen với lối học khối khối A nay vào môi trường đại học với chủ yếu các môn học thiên về khoa học xã hội khiến mình rất hứng thú, tò mò. Mình ước được học thêm rất nhiều ngành học khác nữa tại Trường sau khi tốt nghiệp. Cách truyền tải kiến thức của các thầy cô thật mới mẻ, hấp dẫn khác xa với cách học hồi cấp 3. Mình cảm thấy rất tự hào khi trở thành sinh viên của Trường.

*Nguyễn Tuân (K56 Khoa Thông tin - Thư viện): "Only one love for the Shock Troopers"

My love for youth activities has kept me involved and volunteering with the Youth Shock Team for almost three years now. Many competitive movements and volunteer programs to help disadvantaged areas or assist students during exam seasons have made my student life truly meaningful. Participating in the Youth Shock Team has given me confidence in communication, discipline in work, flexibility in dealing with people, and the ability to adapt to unexpected changes in life. The working environment within the Youth Union and Student Association is quite dynamic and highly effective. The learning environment is serious yet friendly, with highly qualified and enthusiastic teachers who share many interesting life experiences with students.

* Do Thi Dung (K56, Faculty of Journalism and Communication): “We were able to participate in scientific research from a very early age.”

I want to do scientific research to delve deeper into the issues I'm interested in. Not only that, I also get to read a lot of related materials from newspapers and legal documents. I get to work in groups responsibly, and the professors guide me on the skills needed to write a better thesis next year. I wanted to do research since my second year, but I didn't have the necessary skills then, so I only started in my third year.

Scientific research has also given me a lot of experience, especially related to data encoding. For example, creating data surveys helped me formulate in-depth questions and learn how to conduct surveys in newspapers in the most detailed way. I knew before applying to the university that it is one of the largest social science research universities in the country, a cradle for training high-quality researchers. Because I love research, I decided to apply here, and it has truly been the best choice I've made so far.

Thanks to my research, I gained a deeper understanding of journalism, especially online journalism, learned how to work more effectively in teams, and how to analyze data and create systematic tables.

* Lan Anh (K57, Faculty of Literature): “Phnew teaching methods and them"It really makes you addicted."

To be honest, I'm addicted to the teaching methods of some of the professors because they are so interesting and innovative. When I first entered the university, I was very bewildered because I came from a distant province to study, and I imagined that the knowledge and teaching methods at university would be very difficult and it would take a long time to adapt.

The enthusiastic guidance, the open-ended approach, and the way the lessons were structured truly captivated us. I was very interested in learning at school and even looked forward to class. Last semester, I achieved excellent results. I hope the teachers will create even more innovative teaching methods so that we can have more ways to approach problems and absorb their guidance more actively and effectively.
