That is Giang Nhi, a candidate in Ho Chi Minh City. In the online consultation program "Choosing a major for the future: What should candidates do after the graduation exam?" of Thanh Nien Newspaper on the afternoon of July 4, Giang Nhi asked: "Recently, I read information about a beautiful female lecturer of the University of Economics and Finance, Ho Chi Minh City, who is a Korean-speaking MC for a program with the presence of the President of South Korea. This suddenly made me want to study this major. If I use my high school graduation exam score for admission, will I have a high chance of passing? What jobs can I do in this major if I don't work as a Korean MC?"

What jobs can you do if you learn Korean?

Master Pham Doan Nguyen, Vice Principal of Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance, said that the female lecturer was Master Pham Thi Thuy Linh, Deputy Head of the Faculty of International Languages ​​and Cultures of the school.

"At the University of Economics and Finance, Ho Chi Minh City, the language group includes English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, with the number of candidates applying this year increasing by 40% compared to 2022. The training programs of universities are interdisciplinary, so studying one major and graduating can do many jobs. Nowadays, foreign languages ​​and information technology are considered extremely important in a career. Knowing an additional language will greatly increase your job opportunities," said Master Nguyen.

According to Master Nguyen, people who study languages ​​often have good memories, standard pronunciation, are extroverted and have good cultural integration. After completing Korean language as well as other languages, students have the opportunity to work in many different positions such as translation, tourism, business, customer care, secretary, lecturer...

"You are also completely capable of becoming an MC using the language you have learned if you have enough passion, talent, and are willing to practice more skills to become an MC. In 2023, if you are admitted to the language group at the school, you will receive a 40% scholarship throughout the course," Master Nguyen added.

Admitted early, want to apply for another major

Meanwhile, candidate Ngo Minh Hai in Dong Nai is wondering about the medical physics major. "I find this major quite strange. Is it a new major? I was admitted to the food technology major at Nguyen Tat Thanh University based on my high school transcript. Now I want to consider this major based on my exam score. How do I register on the admission system?"

Master Truong Quang Tri, Deputy Head of Student Affairs Department, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, informed that medical physics is a major that the school has trained for 3-4 years, belonging to the field of applied science. "This major applies knowledge, laws, physical phenomena, and technical and technological solutions to biology and medicine for the purpose of public health care or disease treatment. If you have been admitted to the food technology major but still want to apply for this major based on your exam score, you can completely register on the general admission system of the Ministry of Education and Training," Master Tri answered.

Also wondering about being admitted to one major but still wanting to apply for another, candidate Dang Hai Duong (Quang Ngai) asked: "I was admitted early to the maxillofacial department of a non-public school, but I prefer to study general medicine, so I am waiting for the exam results to apply for this major. So, when registering on the Ministry of Education and Training system, I put my wish for general medicine at Duy Tan University first, then the maxillofacial department that I was admitted early to at the other university. Is that okay? If I do not pass, will I still be considered for the maxillofacial department?"

According to Dr. Vo Thanh Hai, this is a situation that many candidates are also facing. Dr. Hai advised: “From July 10-30, when registering for admission on the Ministry of Education and Training's system, you can put general medicine as your first choice, then dentistry and other wishes you want. The system will automatically consider general medicine first. If you have enough points, you will be admitted to general medicine, but if you are not admitted to general medicine, you will continue to be considered for dentistry and this is the major you have been admitted to, so the system will confirm and not consider the following majors."
