Proud to be HUFLITers #07 | M.A. Tran My Uyen – A lectern where a teacher wishes only to “watch her children grow up”At the HUFLIT Faculty of Foreign Languages, M.A. Tran My Uyen (Vice Dean) goes by many names. Some call her “Ms My”; her students call her “mother”. Colleagues often compare her to Mother Au Co with a hundred children. Yet to become the “mother” of the lecture hall she is today, she went through a profound shift in thinking that completely changed a teaching philosophy built over more than 30 years.

“GenZ Major Insights 2026” – Episode 9: Boundless Journeys with HUFLIT’s Tourism and Hospitality ProgramsMany students choose the Tourism and Hospitality field simply because they love to travel. But passion alone is not enough to pursue this field in the long run. What matters more is understanding the nature of the discipline, its professional requirements, and the qualities needed to grow in a professional service environment.
HUFLIT Campus Tour 2026 – Experiencing the University Environment First-Hand
On the journey of choosing a major and setting a direction for the future, experiencing a university environment first-hand plays an important role, helping upper-secondary students picture more clearly the path they are about to take. Wishing to accompany students from this preparation stage onwards, Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages – Information Technology (HUFLIT) has been maintaining the HUFLIT Campus Tour as a regular experience and career-guidance activity for upper-secondary school students.
HUFLIT recently welcomed more than 1,000 students from Ho Thi Bi, Dien Hong and Pham Van Sang upper-secondary schools to the HUFLIT Campus Tour. These visits offer not only a first-hand look at the learning spaces at HUFLIT but also a range of practical experiences, helping students grow familiar with a university environment step by step, access information about majors and gain a clearer sense of student life to come.
Making the learning environment tangible through a hands-on journey
As part of the HUFLIT Campus Tour, students took part in a guided visit to the learning and social spaces at HUFLIT. Rather than absorbing information from documents or photographs, they were able to see, hear and touch the university environment in a vivid and approachable way.
On the HUFLIT Campus Tour, students explored the campus in turn, along with the language classrooms and the specialist rooms dedicated to each group of majors. At every stop, they were given specific explanations of each facility’s function, how teaching is organised and what the everyday learning activities of HUFLIT students look like.
By visiting the learning spaces in person, students can picture the rhythm of university life more clearly: from lectures in the hall and practical sessions in specialist rooms to the shared social time across campus. This is precisely what sets the HUFLIT Campus Tour apart, going beyond “introducing the university” to deliver real experience that helps narrow the gap between upper-secondary school and university.
Engaging with majors and career direction early
Alongside the campus visit, one element of the HUFLIT Campus Tour that draws particular interest from students is the advice on majors and career direction. This is also the central thread of the HUFLIT Campus Tour, aimed at helping students better understand their future study options.
During the programme, students are given an overview of the 05 groups of majors offered at HUFLIT, together with information on the curriculum, its applied orientation and career opportunities after graduation. The information is conveyed in an accessible, practice-linked way, helping students gradually picture the connection between major, skills and future work.
A standout feature of the advisory element of the Campus Tour is how interactive it is. Students can ask questions directly, share their concerns about choosing a major and a university, and hear specific answers from the advisory team. Many students thereby gain a more realistic perspective on the major they are interested in and avoid choosing on impulse or by following the crowd.
For HUFLIT, the Campus Tour is not only an occasion to provide information but also a first step in helping upper-secondary students develop a considered approach to choosing a major. Engaging early with information about programmes and careers is expected to help them take greater initiative as they prepare for the upper-secondary graduation examination and for the important decisions that follow.
Experiencing the HUFLIT student atmosphere – narrowing the gap between school and university
An indispensable highlight of the HUFLIT Campus Tour is the exchange session where visitors experience the student atmosphere. Through friendly conversations with HUFLIT students, pupils from Ho Thi Bi Upper-Secondary School heard real stories about academic life, extracurricular activities, clubs and teams, as well as memorable experiences from their university years. These candid accounts from HUFLIT students help visitors picture the rhythm of university life more clearly, from lectures in the hall to activities that build skills, widen networks and develop the individual.
It is precisely this human element and direct interaction that creates a sense of closeness, so that upper-secondary students no longer feel hesitant at the thought of a university environment. Instead, they gradually picture themselves in the role of a future student, with a more proactive and prepared mindset for the road ahead.
As one of the career-guidance activities HUFLIT maintains on a regular basis, the Campus Tour reflects a commitment to accompanying upper-secondary students through this important stage of preparation on the threshold of university. Through practical experience and useful information, HUFLIT hopes to help students choose a major and a career that suit them, and in doing so approach their studies and personal development with greater confidence.
In the time ahead, the HUFLIT Campus Tour will continue to be held for upper-secondary school students, opening up further opportunities for experience, connection and guidance, and helping to build a solid foundation for the next generation of students.
