At the same time, they have participated in the series of Online Admission Counseling Program: "Design Your Future From Day One" - an online space to support new students of K49 to enroll online and to learn information about tuition, scholarships, study credits, and financial support for students; understand the study program options (Full English, Partial English, Standard) and participate in the Pre-welcome program of the Schools/Institutes, Vinh Long Campus. Besides, the new students experienced the University's facilities through the 360-degree virtual reality space - UEH Virtual Tour, in the function: "Visit UEH".

The new generation of UEH students are comprehensive students in learning, grasping and applying professional knowledge, and practicing diverse skills. Besides, they have the qualities of the global student generation, associated with contemporary trends: mastering Technology and taking action for the Environment, with the ultimate goal of contributing solutions to better life.

“UEH Gen: Smart” students have the ability to understand, to master knowledge, and to apply creativity in the application of contemporary smart technology (artificial intelligence, big data, IoT, blockchain and smart mobile applications) in their studies, training and profession, thereby, practicing a passion for exploring new technologies. On the other hand, the intelligence of the new generation is not only represented by technology but the application of technology to life, through the lens of Inclusive (multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary); with the goal of being Effective (appropriate yet not dependent on technology) and finally aiming for Sustainability (effective yet preserving and protecting future generations).

“UEH Gen: Green” students understand and aim to take proactive actions to protect the environment from their own lifestyle, contributing to changing the habits of the UEH community, towards a green and environmentally friendly lifestyle.

To develop the future of a new generation, UEH creates a learning, research and application environment right on its campuses, connecting with the community to inspire students to practice the qualities of a UEH new generation.
