Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong – President of National Economics University speaks

In his opening speech at the festival, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong – President of National Economics University warmly welcomed distinguished guests, esteemed faculty, especially parents and students who took the time to attend the NEU Open Day 2026 event at National Economics University.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong stated that recently, the University has implemented a variety of admissions counseling activities to accompany students in choosing their fields of study and orienting their future, from the program “A Day as an NEU Student” which attracted a large number of students, to livestream sessions providing online admissions information.

According to the University President, as students stand at the threshold of the high school graduation exam and university selection, the question “Who am I, who will I become, and what career will I pursue” is always a significant concern, as this decision greatly impacts their future and development journey.

Through the 2026 Admissions and Career Counseling Festival, the University commits to accompany, share, and address inquiries with candidates and parents. This aims to help students make informed and suitable choices regarding their fields of study.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bui Huy Nhuong highlighted the decisive factors for success in choosing a field of study. At this critical “final stretch” moment, candidates should first consider selecting a field based on their passion, capabilities, and especially the demands of the labor market.

The University President emphasized that the labor market is constantly evolving, and fields that are promising now may be replaced in the future. Therefore, the key for each candidate is adaptability and lifelong learning. Based on their desired field of study, students should choose reputable and suitable educational institutions, seek opportunities to be equipped with methods, critical thinking skills, and adaptability to aspire and have the courage to rise above any circumstance.
