People's Representatives Newspaper (National Assembly) - Thousands of new students of the K20 cohort at Dai Nam University "started their careers" on the very first day of enrollment.

Going to school isn't just about completing paperwork.

In mid-August, the campus of Dai Nam University was bustling as new students of the K20 cohort and their families arrived to complete the enrollment procedures.

For many young people, this is their first time stepping through the school gates as students. After the registration process, they meet their lecturers, learn about the training program, tour lecture halls, practice rooms, and laboratories, and discuss the requirements of their chosen field.

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".

Start college with questions about career paths.

At age 18, not every student has a complete career plan. Some choose Information Technology because they love technology and want to learn about AI; some choose Medicine with the desire to become doctors; others pursue business, communications, languages, design, and so on.

Each option requires a different learning and training process.

Therefore, conversations between freshmen and faculty on enrollment day not only revolve around "what subjects to study," but also open up questions about skills, practical applications, and job requirements after graduation.

Asking these questions from the very beginning helps students better understand their choices and identify the skills they need to develop during their university years.

"Unleashing one's identity" is therefore not about finding a common template, but rather a process in which young people identify their personal interests, strengths, and goals, and then gradually develop them into professional competencies.

"Get started with your chosen profession" on your first day of school.

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 presentations.

In specialized spaces, new students become familiar with lecture halls, practice rooms, labs, lecturers, and the professional activities that will accompany them throughout their studies.

Information technology students begin to envision a learning environment closely linked to technology; health science students gain access to practical spaces and the specific requirements of their profession. For economics, languages, communication, design, and other fields, students are also introduced to skills relevant to their future careers.

"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 applied training model that the school pursues, in which students are exposed to professional practice earlier in their studies.

Parents and children embark on a new journey together.

The day their children become university students is also the day many parents begin a new role: accompanying them but gradually empowering them with the autonomy and responsibility for their career choices.

For specialized fields like medicine, the family's consideration is 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.

"As someone who used to work in the medical field, I understand that doctor training must closely integrate knowledge, practice, and professional responsibility. My family chose Dai Nam because we hoped our grandson would study in a rigorous environment, receive early training, and have a solid foundation to pursue a long-term career in medicine," he said.

First questions from new students

Ngoc Linh, a freshman in Information Technology, said she chose the major because she loves technology and wants to work in this field.

“With the guidance from the teachers, the opportunity to directly learn about the curriculum, and the hands-on experience on the first day of enrollment, I have a clearer picture of the field I have chosen. I am very excited to begin and explore what I can do in the coming years,” Linh shared.

For Linh and many other freshmen of the K20 cohort, the first day of university doesn't answer all their questions about the future. But they've already started asking: 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.

Start your journey proactively.

The enrollment day is just the beginning. The K20 cohort will continue their journey with specialized knowledge, practical skills, experiences, internships, and business connections. Throughout this journey, what matters is not only what major they study but also what skills they acquire.

For K20 students at Dai Nam University, "Unleash your identity - illuminate your journey" begins with concrete actions: understanding your chosen path, understanding your desired career, and proactively preparing for the road ahead.

Candidates still have a chance to be considered for admission.

The K20 Orientation Day at Dai Nam University will continue until August 17, 2026.
