Hoa Sen University launches International Integration program "Hoa Sen Go Global"

This morning, January 27, 2024, Hoa Sen University (HSU) officially launched the Hoa Sen Go Global International Integration Program with international experience activities for students.

The event was attended by Mr. Si Sa Vet, Marketing Director and Representative of the Malaysian Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, representatives of the VECOM E-commerce Association, leading companies and businesses, and more than 300 students and parents.

2,000 places to experience a global university environment

Hoa Sen Go Global is a special experience program that HSU offers to new students who want to create conditions for students to have early access to advanced education, ready to integrate into a training environment that meets international standards and diversity. This is the university's first implementation of this special program, affirming its position as an international standard university in Vietnam. The university is expected to award 2,000 scholarships for Hoa Sen Go Global international integration program to new students.

The Hoa Sen Go Global program is designed to provide various experiences to equip students with international integration skills. Joining the trip, students can visit one of the top universities in Malaysia or Thailand. These universities are members of the P2A University (Passage to ASEAN) network that has signed cooperation agreements with HSU. Here, students experience an international standard learning environment and learn about the quality of training and career trends they will pursue. Students also participate in seminars and workshops on the international learning environment and preparation and orientation for international integration for Vietnamese students.

At the launching ceremony, the first 12 high school candidates received the “passport” of the Hoa Sen Go Global program. Their first trip is expected to depart in April 2024.

Huynh Pham Tan Sang, a Le Trong Tan High School student, said: “I find this program of Hoa Sen University very good and practical. This program gives students many experiences to learn good things from other countries, a rare opportunity before we officially enter the lecture hall.”

Students have at least 2 trips abroad in 4 years of study

In addition to 2,000 Hoa Sen Go Global experience scholarships right from the first year, Hoa Sen University students are also allowed to participate in field trip activities, study tours, corporate semesters, and internships abroad from year 2 onwards. These activities will expand to many countries such as France, America, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan… with longer study periods (from 2 weeks to 6 months). Thus, students can have at least 2 study trips to other countries during their studies.

Accordingly, international experience activities will help students visit experiences at leading large enterprises, visit industry fairs and exhibitions, exchange, study, and cultural exchange at major countries' universities, and seek job opportunities at foreign enterprises. At the event, the University also awarded the Sen Contribution Scholarship to HSU students who have made many contributions in the past year, allowing them to experience education in other countries.

Within the framework of the program, Hoa Sen University has carried out the signing ceremony of cooperation with 9 large enterprises to promote internship and employment activities for domestic and foreign students including VECOM E-commerce Association, Viva Consulting Service & Viva Group Joint Stock Company, Pasona Tech Vietnam Company Limited (Japan), PGT Holdings Joint Stock Company (Japan), Doo Won Company Limited (Korea), Hoa Sen Group Joint Stock Company, AEON Vietnam Company Limited, CareerViet Solutions Joint Stock Company, Edu Net (Australia).

The university wishes to create opportunities and encourage students to listen and embrace similarities and differences when receiving new perspectives. This helps students develop positive leadership skills, effective communication skills, and a willingness to cooperate when working in groups while also facilitating personal development.
