These valuable experiences will help students explore, shape their understanding of their chosen careers, and provide many future career opportunities.”
The EIU Opening Ceremony aims to welcome and mark an important milestone in shaping the personality and professionalism of high-quality human resources for the future, aligning with the needs of economic development and international integration. In addition to the solemn ceremony to bring meaningful moments to the new students, EIU also organises vibrant activities related to music, culture, and sports, allowing students to showcase their artistic talents, interact, meet teachers, connect with new friends, and become familiar with the university environment.
Before the opening ceremony, EIU also organised an orientation week with a series of practical experiential activities such as visits to businesses and hospitals with meaningful and practical themes, interactive sessions, and listening to sharing from business representatives and alumni to provide useful information and a comprehensive overview of academic activities to prepare well for the new academic year.
In 2023, EIU admitted students for 8 training programs in various fields including Business Administration, Economics and Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Control and Automation Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Networks and Data Communications, and Nursing. Following the strategic development direction, being a nonprofit university with many community-serving benefits, EIU allocates a significant number of entrance scholarships each year to attract high-achieving students to apply for admission. EIU has attracted new students from over 30 different provinces and cities, especially students from provinces and cities with industrial zones such as VSIP, Becamex IDC, with the expectation of easy job opportunities to serve the development of these invested industrial zones.

This year’s top students admitted to EIU achieved scores of 27.1 and 27 for the first and second places respectively (excluding preference points). This indicates that the quality of admitted candidates is continuously improving, and EIU increasingly affirms its reputation as a standard international university in the southern region.
