While learning more about universities, I learned about ULIS-VNU.

As an international student from China, I encountered many difficulties when I first enrolled at ULIS.

Furthermore, the school’s facilities are also modern, comfortable.

Perhaps, ULIS has left me with many deep impressions. Here, I not only have the opportunity to communicate and participate in extracurricular activities with friends, but I can also gain a deeper understanding of the traditional values ​​and lifestyle of Vietnamese people. 

In addition, the learning environment here is also one of the things that impresses me the most. The teachers in the Faculty always try their best to create favorable conditions for students to both learn theory and master skills when using Korean. 

In your opinion, how will studying at ULIS help you in your career path ahead?

For me, the study program at ULIS will help me develop cross-cultural communication skills, practice critical thinking as well as teamwork skills. From there, with the knowledge and experience I have gained at ULIS, I will be able to build a solid foundation to find a future career in fields such as translation, education or foreign exchange. deliver.

In the near future, I am planning to take the TOPIK 6 exam, so I have to try and work hard to achieve the best results. Furthermore, I also need to try to cultivate and improve my Vietnamese skills so that I can be more confident when communicating with friends. Hopefully I can do it!
