Next, Dr. Tran Thanh Huyen shared her experience of studying in India. Ms. Huyen emphasized that connection is very important in the learning process, so besides students finding opportunities on their own, the introduction of and creating exchange opportunities for students to approach is one of the key factors in the training process, ensuring the internationality and integration of UEF in general and the Faculty of International Relations in particular. Therefore, when students participate in exchange programs, they need to learn and grasp the cultural characteristics of the country they are in to have flexible communication. After the program, you should stay connected with professors and students of your school, where you study to serve your future jobs. On the other hand, Dr. Tran Thanh Huyen mentioned short courses focusing on understanding culture, training leadership skills, and building student assessment standards based on soft skills.
