Korea is not only country of good movies, romantic love stories, handsome and beautiful actors and actress, but also country with advanced education of Asia, where students can conduct a dream of approaching first-range and modern science and technology. That is the reason that urge us to join the program of Exchanging international students between HUFI and National Kyungpook University, Korea.

Many universities, colleges in Vietnam have conducted student exchanging program to create good environment for students to approach, learning knowledge, getting experience, practicing soft skills and professional working manners. To join this program, students can have many opportunities for their own development in the future. The first advantage of this program is that you will have more international friends. The meeting and communication will help students have more relationship with interesting people, to share knowledge, culture and especially language.
Moreover, we will have chance to meet and communicate with experienced lecturers and students, to broaden knowledge, to learn from their experience. We get acknowledged with professional working style and can learn knowledge that can not get in university: observation skill, communication skill, personal work management, …
However, everything has two sides, the participation in international student exchange program has a lot of difficulties for students who have not gone abroad. From preparing documents, language, skills to health, finance,…. All need a lot of effort especially during time of Covid 19 pandemic.
But fortunately, pandemic is controlled, with the enthusiastic support from FST’s lecturers, and of Kyungpook National University, especially sessions of language and presentation training skills, experience sharing session of Dr Nguyen Thi Thuy Duong and Dr. Jakob Pastoetter helped us have more luggage for our journey.
