(Education Magazine) In the context of international integration and a strong wave of foreign investment into Vietnam, language proficiency is not only a necessary skill but also a “golden key” that opens the door to attractive career opportunities. Particularly, opportunities to work in Chinese and Korean companies and corporations in the fields of tourism, services, hotels, and restaurants.
Amidst many career choices, Chinese Studies and Korean Studies are emerging strongly, attracting the attention of a large number of young people. This trend is completely understandable as China and South Korea are always among Vietnam’s top economic partners. According to statistics from the Ministry of Planning and Investment, in the first 5 months of 2024, China and South Korea continued to affirm their positions among the top countries in terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam, with total registered FDI reaching 1.1 billion USD and 1 billion USD, respectively.
In Khanh Hoa province, the surge in investment from Chinese and Korean corporations and businesses has created a “wave” of recruitment for personnel who understand the language and culture of these two countries. Additionally, as one of the most dynamic tourist centers in the country, Khanh Hoa attracts a large number of international visitors for both leisure and business. Statistics show that China and South Korea consistently lead in terms of tourist arrivals to Khanh Hoa, opening up attractive job opportunities in the fields of tourism, services, hotels, and restaurants…..
Thai Binh Duong University: The Pioneering Cradle for Chinese and Korean Studies
Grasping this trend, Thai Binh Duong University has pioneered the implementation of comprehensive and in-depth training programs in Chinese Studies and Korean Studies, equipping students with a solid foundation of knowledge and practical skills to confidently enter the job market. Students are trained in all four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, along with in-depth knowledge of Chinese and Korean culture, economy, and society. The university boasts a team of experienced and dedicated lecturers, including native speakers, ensuring the quality of education.
Phan Vu Uyen Minh (a third-year student) shared: “Even students who have never studied Chinese can be assured of starting their university journey smoothly. As someone who had no prior knowledge of Chinese, I achieved the HSK4 certificate in my second year and started working part-time at a translation company before that.”
Additionally, the university invests in modern facilities, with 100% air-conditioned classrooms and a multimedia library, meeting the learning and research needs of students. Students are given the opportunity to intern at Chinese and Korean companies from their second year, accumulating practical experience. Notably, students have the chance to participate in student exchange programs and study abroad in these two countries to expand their knowledge, hone their skills, and experience new cultures.
Currently, Thai Binh Duong University has a vast network of strategic business partners, including Vietjet Air, HD Bank, Phu Long Real Estate, and over 100 other corporations and units. As a result, Thai Binh Duong University students in general, and those majoring in Chinese and Korean studies in particular, can participate in paid internships and apprenticeships at these companies starting from their first year. The university also guarantees 100% employment for its graduates upon graduation.
Another special highlight is that Thai Binh Duong University is the only university in the South Central region to offer Korean Studies, providing a unique and promising learning option for students.
Chinese and Korean Studies are currently “hot” fields with strong potential for future development. Choosing to study in Khanh Hoa, especially at Thai Binh Duong University, students will be equipped with comprehensive knowledge, skills, and ample career opportunities to confidently assert themselves in the competitive job market.
