In the vibrant atmosphere of the 2026 Admissions and Career Guidance Festival in Hai Phong city, International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-IS) was present early to accompany students and parents on their journey to learn about information, choose majors, and orient their future. At consulting points such as Vietnam Maritime University and Nguyen Trai High School for the Gifted, the School’s consulting booth continuously welcomed a large number of students and parents to exchange, ask questions, and receive direct advice from the team of officials, lecturers, and students.

Not just a place to provide admissions information, the consulting booth of International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-IS) also became a space for connection, sharing, and resolving the very real concerns of candidates before the university threshold. From familiar questions such as “which major should I choose to suit me”, “which admission method should I use”, “what do I need to prepare to increase my chances of admission”, to deeper concerns about scholarships, learning environment, job opportunities, and future development paths, all were answered specifically, openly, and relevant to the needs of each student.

A notable highlight at this year’s festival was the proactive approach of Hai Phong candidates in seeking admissions information. Many did not merely listen to general introductions but began to ask specific questions about admission methods, entry requirements, scholarship criteria, and the ability to choose suitable subject combinations based on their personal strengths. During direct exchanges, the consulting team of International School spent time analyzing, orienting, and helping students visualize more clearly the study path suitable for their abilities, interests, and career goals.

The accompaniment of International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-IS) during the admissions season is not only reflected in providing full and accurate information but also in the spirit of listening and sharing with learners.

This is also how the School approaches admissions in a close, learner-centered way, supporting candidates from the very first steps of the orientation process.

Particularly, this year’s consulting activities took place in the context that Vietnam National University, Hanoi had just issued new university admissions regulations on March 20, 2026, applicable to undergraduate training programs throughout the entire system from 2026. The issuance of the new Regulations has attracted great attention from parents and students, as it is an important basis to standardize the entire admission process towards synchronization, transparency, and improved input quality.

Accordingly, Vietnam National University, Hanoi’s new admissions regulations comprehensively stipulate admission principles, eligibility conditions, admission methods, priority policies, quality assurance thresholds, registration procedures, admissions review, and confirmation of enrollment. One of the notable new points is that training units can use a maximum of 5 admission methods, excluding direct admission. These methods may include using high school graduation exam results, results from competency assessment exams organized by Vietnam National University, Hanoi, international certificates such as SAT, A-Level, ACT, along with other combined or specific methods. This opens up more opportunities for candidates to access training programs suitable for their abilities and personal orientation.

In addition, the Regulations also clarify the principle of equivalent conversion among admission methods to ensure fairness among different groups of candidates, while controlling the total bonus points not to exceed 10% of the admission score scale. The new regulation continues to standardize the admission process on the common system of the Ministry of Education and Training, allowing candidates to register for a maximum of 15 aspirations and be considered equally across all methods. These are contents of particular interest to parents and students at the festival, and also the group of questions that the consulting team of International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-IS) spent much time answering directly.

In the context of new admissions regulations, the role of accompaniment and consultation by training institutions becomes even more important. For International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-IS), each admissions festival is not only an occasion to introduce training programs but also an opportunity for the School to support candidates in accessing official information, understanding regulations correctly, choosing the right methods, and building a suitable admissions strategy. From there, candidates can be more confident in preparing their applications, registering aspirations, and making important decisions for their university journey ahead.
