In his address, DTU Provost Dr Le Nguyen Bao congratulated the graduates and shared important perspectives on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence worldwide. “You’re living in a period of profound transformation driven by AI,” he said. “Those who know how to use AI will gain a significant advantage in learning, growth, and more rapid success. Over the next three to five years, before society is fully reshaped by AI, you have a valuable window to create a competitive edge provided you know how to use AI effectively. In the past, many studies suggested that achieving lasting success required approximately ten years of dedicated work, equivalent to ten thousand hours of accumulated experience. Today with the support from AI, this can be significantly shortened though. People who know how to ask the right questions and use AI intelligently may achieve success just a few years after graduation. What matters most is maintaining independent thinking and freedom of choice. Master AI and put it to good use to develop yourself, but never allow it to diminish your willpower or your identity.”

In name of DTU’s corporate partners, Mr Ranil Perera, General Manager of Hilton Danang, praised the educational quality at the university, particularly in tourism & hospitality. “Through the strong partnership between Hilton Danang and DTU over many years, we have witnessed the university’s strong progress in developing high-quality human resources,” he said. “A notable achievement is that DTU’s programs in hospitality management & entertainment were ranked in the world top fifty: They came 41st globally in the QS World University Rankings by Subject, an accomplishment to be proud of. Since Hilton Danang began operations, more than 150 DTU students have done internships at our hotel. Notably, 46 alumni of the school are currently employed at Hilton Danang in many positions - from staff to management - which is nearly 25% of the total workforce at Hilton. This is an outstanding outcome and a testament to the effectiveness of the partnership between the university and industry.”

Among them, 18.83% graduated summa cum laude, and 65 students achieved the title of valedictorian in their disciplines.

Teams and individual students who won top prizes in domestic and international competitions in 2025 - 2026 were recognized. The total value of awards exceeded 12.2 billion VND, showing how the university recognizes and encourages students’ creativity, studies, and contributions.

Sharing her joy on graduation day, Tran Thi My Linh, an English Language graduate from the DTU School of Languages, Humanities & Social Sciences (LHSS), said: “I’m happy and excited that, after four years of hard work and continuous effort, I’ve achieved a well-deserved result. I’m deeply grateful to my lecturers, friends, and the university for always being there for me and supporting me throughout the past four years. Looking back, I feel fortunate to have studied in a dynamic environment, where the university constantly provides students with many opportunities for learning, research, and participation in valuable academic programs. DTU organizes a great lot of community activities and programs where students can develop soft skills, practice life skills, and prepare better for their future careers.”

This pride was also reflected in the emotional remarks of parents at the ceremony. Mr Nguyen Son Hai, father of Nguyen Son Hai Duyen, summa cum laude graduate and valedictorian in Business Law at the Faculty of Law, LHSS, said: “Today, seeing our children wearing their graduation gowns and confidently receiving their diplomas fills us with emotion and pride. This achievement is the result of their efforts and hard work, together with the dedicated guidance of the university. We believe that students educated by DTU will become outstanding citizens, professionally competent, with good skills and ethics, and with good human values that contribute to society.”

The 2025 - 2026 graduation ceremony was more than a milestone of maturity for the thousands of graduates; it also stands as a testament to DTU’s outstanding achievements in training. Equipped with knowledge, skills, and aspirations, these new graduates will now start their contributions and confidently begin a new journey for the development of their communities and country in this era of global integration and digital transformation.
