In his inspiring address, President Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Van Dung extended warmest congratulations to the new bachelors and engineers. He remarked, “While four years at university may seem brief in the grand journey of life, it marks a turning point—a moment of intellectual and personal maturity, laying the foundation for your future.”

During the ceremony, representatives from businesses and partners awarded scholarships, coordinated by the university’s Study Promotion Association, to students facing hardship and those graduating with excellence and distinction.
In a highlight of the event, university leaders awarded certificates of merit and gifts to 38 students graduating with highest honors and 462 students graduating with distinction.
