Choosing a major that suits your abilities, strengths, family economic conditions, meets the human resource needs of society, finds a suitable job after graduation and nurtures your ambitions is the desire of all students after completing the general education program.

2025 is a very special year with many new points in the high school graduation exam and university entrance exam. Because this is the first year that students of the 2018 General Education program graduate from high school and enter the admission stage at a higher level to choose their future major. Do changes from the general education program lead to differences in students' choice of majors to study at university at this time? What is the most important factor in choosing a major for candidates in the 2025 admission year? How do candidates know which major they are suitable for, and what are the specific steps to choose a major?

In addition to answering the above concerns, from the expected enrollment plan for 2025, university enrollment experts give specific advice to candidates participating in this year's enrollment. Specifically, choosing subjects for enrollment to suit the training majors.

The program takes place from 10-11am, including experts:

Important factors in choosing a major in the new context

Master Cao Quang Tu, Director of Admissions at Saigon International University, shared: ''I remember 3 years ago, standing at the milestone of advising students on choosing the combination to enter grade 10. This year, the first batch of students in the 2018 general education program graduated from high school.

Certainly, there will be certain differences in choosing a major. Majors are very diverse and rich, with a great deal of interdisciplinary nature. Learners need to see that major in a very broad future. The trend of universities is to train in a multidisciplinary direction, with one school training many majors in many different fields. Currently, there is no longer a distinction between a school that trains in depth in a specific field.

Ms. Truong Thi Ngoc Bich, Director of the Communication Center of the University of Economics and Finance, Ho Chi Minh City, expressed her opinion: ''There is a difference in students' choice of majors this year. Currently, right from junior high school, students have to have an orientation to choose a subject combination to suit their future career orientation. Along with that, parents also have to learn to orient their children's careers when they are in grades 8 and 9. Even universities have made changes in career guidance and counseling to support students in choosing the right major in a changing context''.

Master Vo Ngoc Nhon, Deputy Director of the Admissions Consulting Center of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, commented: ''There is definitely a change in the way students choose their majors today, but in the direction of helping students have a better career orientation. In the new program, compulsory subjects are reduced and elective subjects are increased, especially new subjects. Therefore, students can choose many subjects that can help them be more proactive in choosing a career. It can also be seen that the choice of subjects can reflect which level of education they are suitable for after graduating from high school, such as university or vocational training''.

Master Truong Quang Tri, Deputy Head of Student Affairs Department of Nguyen Tat Thanh University, advised candidates: ''The adjustment in the general education program requires students to have thorough preparation. To choose a suitable major in this admission year, the most important thing is to determine your strengths. If you are good, it will often go hand in hand with your love and passion for that field. However, you also need to grasp the labor market trends to determine a major that is both suitable for yourself and suitable for social trends''.
