Testimonials
Amal Najibah Hj Osmera Universiti Brunei Darussalam (Community Outreach Program)
Aticha Saengsuwan Khon Kaen University, Thailand (Internship Program)
“There are some moments that I experience while I am in Da Nang end up completely blowing me away, in ways that I have never expected. Da Nang introduces extraordinary locations, experiences and people. Without a doubt, these memories will definitely stay with me forever, and years later, I will still smile at them.”
“I have learnt how to live in the real world without asking for help all the time. I understood anything in life more and more. I felt like I'm growing up step by step here. Also, being with the international friends here is such a great chance for me to learn how to talk to others using English, learn new cultures, learn their languages and make more friends easily.”
Anthony Darren Prasetya Binus University, Indonesia (Semester abroad Program)
Kavitha Gopagani Deakin University (Study Tour Program)
“Living here has been one of the best parts of my life. I was able to explore a whole new place, meet new and wonderful friends, and the most important part is that I'm enjoying my time here to the fullest. The happiness that I feel can't be described by mere words, rather through my smile everyday going to the campus to study, shopping for groceries and have fun with my friends in Da Nang!”
“In the study tour, I got the chance to visit IT companies and through this visit, I got to know a few people and it’s a great opportunity for social networking. I was also exposed to how the IT things work in Vietnam. If I want to open a small company, I have a little idea on how to start up. The IT visit has given me a great insight on how the start-up should grow and also I got to interact with a few Vietnamese students who are younger than me but their expertise are far better that I can grasp from them. The hard-working nature of people here has inspired me a lot. This skill I will take back to my place and implement them.”
Dr. Thuong Hoang - Lecturer of Deakin University (Study Tour Program) “In the class there's a mix of different cultures from different backgrounds, so the study tour is not only for Australian students but also for our international students. We can see how they can interact with each other. A lot of translations being used and how they can actually communicate in all different understandings in the class is quite interesting. The study tour finished with Hackathon which is very remarkable allowing the students to create something that they’ve learned from the whole 2 weeks and also the cultural program aspects are very well-organized, giving the students a very exciting experience which exactly the purpose of the collaboration between Deakin University and FPT University.”
Margaret Herczeg - International Program Coordinator of Deakin University (Study Tour & Internship Program) “The quality of the information that FPT prepares for us and for students for promotion, pre-departure and in-country is excellent. FPT goes above and beyond to help find the right internship experience for the right student and in our field this is gold. The facilities and student accommodation on the FPT University campus are amazing. Students are well supported and cared for. When students do the internship component, they continue to stay on the university campus and are bussed out to their Internship Company and back each day. FPT understands how important it is for us to ensure that our students are safe no matter where they are and helps us work through our rigid occupational health and safety requirements.”
Samuel Onyedi Columbus - Nigeria, BSE Alumnus “I was initially attracted by the school’s reputation, and my career goals. The University is multicultural, open, committed to educating at the highest standards, which offers a fantastic academic environment, seminars, interdisciplinary initiatives, as well as a remarkable library and sport facility.”
Sengxay Xayachack - Laos, BSE Alumnus “FPT University provided me with the essential skills I need for my career as a Software Developer and a Penetration Tester. I’ve got a job right after graduation. Instructors are highly professional in what they taught and gave students their best support. I couldn’t ask for more and I am very proud that I graduated from FPT University.”
Aoi Kurokawa - BSE, FPT University Da Nang “My Vietnamese classmates and the university staffs have helped me a lot in studying as well as getting used to the life here . Da Nang is a wonderful city for foreigners with many restaurants and tourist attractions. For me, it’s a comfortable place to live and study.”
