On December 5th 2017, University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University (ULIS-VNU) organized the graduation ceremony of the Vietnamese language training course for international security and police students.

The ceremony was attended by Assoc. Prof Ngo Minh Thuy _ ULIS’s Vice President; Lieutenant Colonel Le Duc Tuyen _ the Deputy Director General of Foreign Relations Department, Ministry of Public Security; foreign relation representatives of Cambodia, China, Japan, Korea, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore; leaders of departments; representative lecturers from ULIS; and 15 students participating in the course co-organized by Ministry of Public Security and ULIS-VNU.

At the ceremony, Vice President Thuy congratulated excellent students who had completed the Vietnamese Language and Culture Training Course in the last 6 months.

“Six months is not a long time, especially when we have reached the end of the journey. However, if you think of the memories with your teachers, peers, Vietnamese people and this country, I believe that each of you has gained a lot of valuable experiences. I knew that many practitioners had traveled all over Vietnam to not only explore the scenery but also truly experience the foreign language that you were learning. And in the process, there were a lot of people who have made great improvement: from poor reading, writing, hearing and speaking skill – can now fully and confidently use Vietnamese in study and work.

For students who have completed the last 6-month course, I believe that besides determination, they also need a lot of courage. Staying far away from home in a country with different culture and language, in addition to studying, there are still many tasks to fulfill…that is just one of the many challenges you have got over. Nevertheless, I believe that those efforts have been paid off. We had the opportunity to eradicate the language barriers and cultural differences. We also had the opportunity to make new friends, studied in wholesome, dynamic and multicultural environment.” said Vice-president.


Lieutenant Colonel Le Duc Tuyen congratulated all the students and sent gratitude toward ULIS for having co-organized the course successfully. He also expressed the desire to cooperate with the university in many upcoming activities.


At the ceremony, the students got to share their feelings and memories during their time in Vietnam, especially at ULIS. The sincere feelings were formulated in Vietnamese. In addition, the practitioners dedicated emotional Vietnamese songs to the teachers.
