News Report - VNA: New students enroll with questions about their future careers.

Thousands of new K20 students and their parents were present at Dai Nam University (DNU) during the enrollment days, meeting lecturers, experiencing specialized learning spaces, and beginning to get a clearer picture of the majors, skills, and careers they will pursue.

In mid-August 2026, the campus of Dai Nam University was bustling as new students of the K20 cohort and their families arrived to complete enrollment procedures. For many young people, this was their first time stepping through the university gates as students. After the procedures, they met with lecturers, learned about the training program, toured lecture halls, practice rooms, and labs, and discussed the requirements of their chosen majors.

The information previously known through admissions counseling is now more concrete. The field of study is no longer just a name on the acceptance letter, but is linked to specific subjects, professional skills, practical training, and job requirements after graduation. This is also the spirit that Dai Nam University is putting into the K20 enrollment season with the message "Unleash your identity - illuminate your journey."

A notable aspect of the K20 orientation day was that students were introduced to their chosen field of study through direct experience rather than just hearing introductions. In specialized spaces, new students familiarized themselves with lecture halls, practice rooms, labs, lecturers, and the professional activities that would accompany them throughout their studies.

"Entering the workforce" doesn't mean students have to immediately determine their future career path. More importantly, they begin to understand that classroom knowledge is only one part of the equation. Practical skills, technology, real-world experience, and the ability to work and adapt all need to be accumulated.

This is also the approach of the school's applied training model, in which students are exposed to professional practice earlier in their studies. The day their children become university students is also the day many parents begin their role as companions, gradually giving their children the right to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their career choices.

For specialized fields like medicine, family considerations are even more meticulous. Mr. Cao Bao, former Deputy Director of Hospital 354 and parent of a new medical student, said that his work experience has helped him understand that training doctors must be linked to specialized knowledge, practical skills, and professional responsibility.

"My family chose Dai Nam because we hoped our grandchild would study in a rigorous environment, receive early training, and have a solid foundation to pursue a long-term career in medicine," he said.

Ngoc Linh, a freshman in Information Technology, said she chose the major because she loves technology and wants to work in this field. For Linh and many other freshmen of the K20 cohort, the first day of university doesn't answer all questions about the future, but they have already begun to ask: What should I study to excel in my field? What skills do I need to develop? When will I get to practice? How can I gain experience before graduation?...

Those questions will continue to be answered through each course, practical session, experiential activity, internship, and exposure to the professional environment.
