University Fair - The path to realizing dreams at TH School
On March 23, TH School Vinh successfully organized the University Fair (University and Career Orientation Day). The University Fair attracted the participation of many students, parents and many prestigious universities at home and abroad.
Expand opportunities, explore potential fields of study
The dream of studying abroad for Hoang Duc, a 10T4 student at Huynh Thuc Khang High School, was largely motivated by an English teacher he respected and admired. In grade 5, after a 3-month online course with a foreign teacher, Duc's very poor English ability improved "admirably" - according to his friends and teachers. Excited and passionate about the subject that he had previously struggled with, since grade 8, this intelligent and agile student asked his former teacher for permission to join in teaching charity, free of charge, to those who wanted to learn and improve their English. That was also a step in preparation for Duc's future path to studying abroad, because not only did he improve his English ability, but he also learned how to communicate and learned more experiences from his teacher and even from those he taught foreign languages to.
When he entered high school, Duc passed the entrance exam to two famous schools, Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, Vinh University High School for the Gifted, and a school in Italy, but in the end he chose to study at Huynh Thuc Khang - where his mother was a teacher. "Since I was in middle school, I had decided to study abroad, so I didn't care about studying at a specialized school because for foreign universities, which school a student studied at is not important," Duc shared.

With a bright and intelligent face, Duc impresses people with his intelligent, confident and mature way of speaking. "I am still hesitating between many choices, but after being consulted, I decided that if I major in Innovative Teaching to become a lecturer, I will study at Harvard University, and if I major in Psychology, I will choose RMIT University." However, before making the final choice, instead of focusing on just these two schools, coming to the event, Duc researched many schools to prepare his application. He said: I think I have not yet fully utilized my abilities in studying. Through research and consultation with teachers and experts, I found that the schools basically require quite similar requirements and conditions in terms of both academic ability and family financial capacity, so I will apply to many schools, both to have more choices and to understand more about my own abilities; Try to get a 100% scholarship or at least a 90% scholarship and don't put all the burden on your parents' shoulders."
Organized by TH School Vinh on the afternoon of March 23, the University Fair (University and Career Orientation Day) aims to support 12th grade students in Nghe An province to confidently prepare for their journey to enter the university door in the near future. Representatives of 33 prestigious universities in the country and around the world such as RMIT University, Swinburne University of Technology, VinUni University, University of Queensland, James Cook University, National Economics University, Diplomatic Academy, British University Vietnam (BUV) ... directly provided enrollment information, including detailed introductions about the school, training majors, application requirements, tuition fees, policies, scholarship criteria and answered related questions from students and parents. Students also had the opportunity to interact and discuss with educational consultants to expand their learning opportunities, career orientation suitable to their abilities and interests, and explore potential majors that are highly appreciated in the future.
Studying at TH School since grade 11, Hoang Tuan Tu - a grade 12 student at TH School Vinh, has been advised and oriented by teachers about studying abroad. "I had a main plan to study a Bachelor of Biology at the University of Sydney and a secondary plan to study a Bachelor of Nursing. I had the intention to study abroad early, but the decision to choose a Bachelor of Biology came from the strong inspiration of the professionalism of my Biology teacher, Le Thi Ngoc Uyen," Hoang Tuan Tu shared. Participating in the event, Tu had a clearer view of what needed to be prepared to achieve his dream.
At the event, parents and students of secondary schools (from grades 7 to 11) also received early career guidance with education experts, learned about admission information in advance, built a study path, and won scholarships from prestigious universities. Not only did they have access to detailed information about training programs from prestigious universities, but they also participated in direct consultation sessions with experts, helping them better understand their interests, abilities, and suitable career choices.
Nowadays, parents and students can access many, many information channels about studying abroad. However, because of that, in the "forest" of information, among too many choices, parents and students really need career guidance to be able to make smart decisions.

Open the door to study abroad from TH School
The event is also an opportunity for students who wish to pursue an international learning environment to learn about TH School Vinh and its scholarship policy of up to 70% to encourage young talents to achieve success in their learning journey.
To help students orient their careers in line with their personal and social trends, at the event, TH School Vinh organized many exciting activities such as visiting the school's modern facilities, meeting the Board of Directors and participating in personality tests to discover their personal potential. Parents also had the opportunity to learn about the learning path at TH School, which combines the Cambridge international program and the Vietnamese program, helping students develop comprehensively in knowledge and skills.
TH School Vinh is the first unit to be recognized by Cambridge in Nghe An. Parents and students learn about the Cambridge IGCSE and AS & A Levels international high school programs being taught at TH School Vinh: competitive advantages when using A Level certificates to apply for scholarships from prestigious universities; the quality of education and achievements of students after graduating from high school; criteria for considering scholarships of up to 70% of TH School.
Many families with children in grades 7-9 participated in the event, with the goal of learning how to prepare their children for scholarships to study abroad early, in which studying the Cambridge international high school program creates great competition. Bringing her daughter, who is in grade 8 this year, to attend the event, Ms. Nguyen Thanh Nga in Nghia Dan district said: "I have also learned about the TH School system for a long time. Today, I brought my daughter to participate in the event not only to know all the relevant information, but also to test herself to see which direction is best and most suitable for her ability and personality. I also met the teachers of the school, visited the school to feel secure in letting my child study from the next school year."
The counseling program plays an important role in career orientation for students. Through direct conversations, students will be guided by experts to analyze their interests, strengths and weaknesses, thereby building a suitable learning path. In addition, students also receive useful advice on developing necessary soft skills and how to take advantage of scholarship or study abroad opportunities to open the door to the future.
