DTU held a ceremony for Bachelor’s and Master’s degree graduates at the Trung Vuong Theatre on June 5th. From the day they graduate, paths to new careers will open up for them.

 

Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co, DTU President and Provost, said: “We, the people of Vietnam, have traveled a long and difficult road, from the times of Ly Thuong Kiet with Nam Quoc Son Ha, Nguyen Trai with Binh Ngo Dai Cao to the time of Ho Chi Minh, who said: ‘Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom’. Much has changed, we have made great leaps forward but our country is still poor. So our new graduates must be aware of the vital role they must play in our country’s destiny. They should be proud of their roots but must develop their intellect to make our country more prosperous. This S-shaped strip of land we now inhabit has been protected by the blood, sweat and tears of previous generations. So the younger generation must continue to maintain and protect it, recognizing the teaching of Ho Chi Minh and his dream that DTU is making a reality, ‘The Duy Tan Dream: International Collaboration, Broadening our Intellect for a Brighter Future, Marching into the World’.”

 

The 2015 graduation ceremony recognized the brilliant academic achievements of students at all levels in the K7 Master’s program, from 2012 to 2014, the K16 Engineering and Architecture program, from 2010 to 2015, the K17 Bachelor’s program, from 2011 to 2015, the K18 Associate Bachelor’s program, from 2012 to 2015, and the K2 Vocational program, from 2012-2015. These included thirty-nine graduate courses, attended by 1,450 undergraduate, associate and vocational students, 109 of whom, (4.2%), were graded excellent.

 

In the academic year 2014 - 2015, DTU celebrated its twentieth anniversary and received a Second-level Labor Medal from the State President for its outstanding contribution to education, music and sports, both national and worldwide. In May, the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology released a ranking, where DTU placed in the Top 20 of institutions with the most publications in ISI-indexed journals from 2010 to 2014.

 

   

Mr. Le Trung Chinh, Director of the Danang Department of Education and Training, has been working with DTU in its academic development. He said: “After twenty years of steady growth, DTU has evolved into one of the leading academic institutions, well-known for its quality of education nationwide. Adhering to the comprehensive master-plan to renovate the fundamentals of our educational system, DTU should continue to invest in infrastructure and technology, upgrade its staff and lecturers, employ new teaching methods and further promote research activities. I believe that, with the backing of the university community and our new generation of intelligent and creative students, DTU will succeed in its mission to ‘cultivate the people’, through its increasing contribution to the development of Danang and the rest of our country.”

 

   

DTU has incessantly worked to be a university where both students and parents can have peace of mind and realize their dreams. Receiving her outstanding degree, student Nguyen Minh Thu, of the class K17 class of Accounting and Auditing, in collaboration with PSU, said: “DTU is a second home to me; it is the place where I acquired the facts, the skills and experience to give me the self-confidence to lead my own life. I will step into the reality of a new career, together with all its difficulties and challenges, but with enthusiasm, energy and creativity. I will depend on the knowledge I gained at DTU and am now confident enough to climb to the peaks in my future career.”

The DTU provosts also awarded merit certificates and gifts to 29 outstanding students and those who won major prizes in national and international competitions. The Gameloft Company, Samuel Vietnam and MBA candidates recognized DTU student achievements and awarded 27 scholarships to the best students in the academic year 2014 to 2015.
