Our lecturers also constantly update and apply modern teaching methods from Lux, the British Council, Germany, etc., emphasizing high interaction and placing students at the center, aiming to help students be proactive, positive, and develop their abilities and creativity. During practical training sessions, students are assigned specific tasks and independently create products, ensuring that all students are actively engaged and not prone to procrastination or reliance on others. This allows them to quickly master skills while still studying, meeting the stringent requirements of domestic and international employers.
Our faculty actively connects students with internship opportunities, linking training to real-world situations. This helps students minimize classroom time and focus on practical application, enhancing their professional skills, developing necessary competencies, and solving real-world problems in businesses. Students may even receive remuneration from their first year of study.
We – a team of experienced instructors – understand that professional ethics is the most valuable asset of every individual. Therefore, lecturers not only focus on professional training but also pay attention to cultivating professional ethics in students to shape their professional character, improve their moral qualities to enhance professional quality, and strive towards true, good, and beautiful values in their professional work.
