Leaving the lecture halls of Dai Nam University: Growing through competence, confidently entering life.

On April 18th, Dai Nam University (DNU) solemnly held its first graduation ceremony and degree awarding event for 2026, concluding a systematic, continuous, and enriching learning journey for thousands of students.

This milestone not only marks the end but also affirms a valuable journey.

This event not only signifies the conclusion of a training period but also serves as a confirmation of the quality of the graduates. Students leave the lecture halls with a foundation of knowledge, skills, and confidence that has been proven through a rigorous learning and training process.

Overview of the Graduation Ceremony and Degree Awarding, Batch 1, 2026, of Dai Nam University.

Speaking at the ceremony, Associate Professor Dr. Dao Thi Thu Giang - the school's principal - emphasized: "You have the right to be confident, not because everything is ready, but because you yourselves are ready."

This message clearly reflects the school's consistent educational philosophy: building competence from within the learner, rather than depending on external conditions.

Associate Professor Dr. Dao Thi Thu Giang - Rector, gave a speech and offered advice to the new graduates.

Learning to be able to do the job - training linked to practice.

In practice, the training program shows that students are approached with a theory-by-application approach right from their first year. The learning process doesn't stop at acquiring knowledge, but continuously places learners in real-world situations: implementing projects, participating in activities with businesses, solving problems, and taking responsibility for the results.

The "learning through experience" model has become the core method, helping Dai Nam University students develop practical work skills and the ability to adapt to a constantly changing environment.

In all fields of study, from health sciences and engineering to economics, business, social sciences, and languages, students not only learn specialized knowledge but also gain access to technology, operational processes, and the practical demands of the market. Participating in projects and application models during their studies helps learners accumulate experience and bridge the gap between education and employment.

"A university degree is not only academically significant, but also serves as proof of professional competence and readiness to enter the labor market," affirmed Associate Professor Dr. Dao Thi Thu Giang.

Stepping out of the lecture hall, students face a rapidly changing world where technology constantly reshapes the way we work and the job market continuously raises its demands. However, students' confidence doesn't come from pre-existing conditions, but from the skills they have honed.

From feeling awkward to feeling confident.  

Speaking on behalf of the graduating students, new graduate Nguyen Thi Ngoc Linh from the Faculty of Business Administration and Marketing said that the university years were a period of fundamental change in her perceptions and abilities.

"From those early days of uncertainty, we've learned to be more confident in each presentation, stronger after each setback, and more persistent during periods of high pressure," Linh shared.

The moving and heartfelt speech by recent graduate Nguyen Thi Ngoc Linh at the ceremony.

It's not simply about professional advancement; it's also about developing independent thinking, a sense of responsibility, and the determination to pursue goals – fundamental elements for entering a professional work environment.

Trust is built through companionship.

A key highlight of the training process is the close connection between the school, family, and businesses. Throughout the students' studies, parents regularly receive information about their children's academic progress and development through various communication channels.

The university, businesses, and families form a strong support system for students at Dai Nam University.

At the same time, the school strengthens cooperation with businesses in developing programs, organizing internships, providing career experiences, and recruiting. Students are exposed to a real-world work environment from an early age, thereby understanding job requirements and improving their skills.

At the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung - representing the parents -   He expressed his reassurance in entrusting his children to Dai Nam University. According to him, the university's educational environment not only focuses on professional knowledge but also emphasizes the cultivation of ethics, character, and life skills.

The collaboration between families, schools, and businesses has created a solid foundation for students' holistic development, while also strengthening confidence in the quality of education and the adaptability of graduates.

A poignant moment, when pride needs no words.  

At the ceremony, the pride of the parents was evident in their eyes. After years of silently supporting them, from initial worries about their children's studies and living away from home to financial pressures, the moment their children donned their graduation gowns became the clearest answer.

Thousands of families traveled hundreds of kilometers to attend the ceremony, just to witness the moment their children received their diplomas. For many families, this was not just the achievement of the students themselves, but the culmination of years of sacrifice, expectations, and faith.

Knowledge comes with responsibility - a commitment of a generation.  

At the ceremony, nearly 2,000 graduates took an oath, pledging to use their knowledge and abilities to serve society, live responsibly, uphold professional ethics, and continuously learn.

The graduating students' representative read the oath...

And the resounding "we swear" of over 2,000 graduates.

This is not just a ceremony, but an affirmation of the school's commitment to social responsibility in its training program – an element that the school places on par with the goal of developing professional competence.

Prove it with results, not just words.

The 2026 graduation ceremony not only recognizes the academic achievements of students but also clearly reflects the educational philosophy pursued by Dai Nam University: training linked to practice, student-centered, and the comprehensive development of abilities, personality, and character.

Nearly 2,000 new graduates, including bachelors, engineers, and pharmacists, are concrete evidence of a training process that is designed with a clear direction, implemented with control, and evaluated based on tangible results.

Step out to go further.  

Heartwarming moments of the graduates and their families.

Graduation ceremonies mark the end of a journey of learning and training in the classroom, transitioning to a new phase. Students leave the classroom with proven abilities and carry with them the values cultivated throughout their studies.

In the journey ahead, the connection with the School will remain as a cornerstone – a place where each individual can reflect, compare, and continue to improve themselves.
