Male student graduated early with excellent results from Hanoi University of Science and Technology

Nguyen Trong Hai got a job at the end of his fourth year, graduating one semester early with the best results from the School of Information Technology and Communications of Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

Nguyen Trong Hai, 23 years old, from Bac Giang, completed the Computer Engineering program at the School of Information Technology and Communications one semester early with a grade point average (CPA) of 3.74/4, and a training score of 95/100.

Of the more than 2,200 new engineers and bachelors of Hanoi University of Science and Technology graduating in May, only 69 achieved excellent results. Eight students, including Hai, were awarded by the school thanks to their CPA of 3.6 and training score of 90 or higher.

Trong Hai was admitted to university in 2018 with a high school graduation exam score of 26.35. With that score, he could have studied any major at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. However, the former student majoring in Mathematics at Bac Giang High School for the Gifted chose Computer Engineering with a benchmark score of 23.5.

Hai's choice was based on a thorough study of majors in the field of Information Technology. He believes that there are many job opportunities if he pursues this field because he learns specialized knowledge in both hardware and software, as well as design techniques and optimal integration between the two.

Having studied at a specialized school was an advantage for Hai because the curriculum was quite heavy, so he was less overwhelmed when entering university. However, the male student assessed that no matter how hard the study was in high school, it could not be as heavy as at the Polytechnic. Hai gave an example of a class in high school with 5 periods, each period was a subject, and each subject only covered a short lesson, or even just practiced the knowledge learned. In university, a class had 6 periods with two subjects. Each subject lasted three periods, requiring half a chapter to a chapter of the curriculum.

"It's hard to keep up with what teachers teach in class, let alone understand the lesson right there," Hai said. Therefore, when he gets home, he has to study again. Hai also has a strategy to study regularly, closely following the content throughout the process instead of waiting until the exam to review like in high school because the amount of knowledge absorbed at the beginning of each session is very large.

In addition, teachers are also very strict in grading, according to Hai. The male student said that during the midterm exam of first-year Calculus, he was very confident when he finished all 10 questions, only wondering about the result of one question so he thought he would get a good score, but the result he received was 6.5.

"The short exam time and the large amount of work to do made it difficult for me to detect mistakes. I was just happy to get the correct answer. Then the returned score was disappointing. Pressure That invisible force makes me have to be more frugal to get the highest score possible," Hai shared.

Once he understood and got into the rhythm of studying in the first year, the following years of studying the major became easier for Hai, even though the knowledge was new and more difficult. According to Hai, the important thing is to practice a lot, take the time to find additional documents online and study by yourself because the field of Information Technology changes very quickly, and just studying according to the textbook will not be able to meet the requirements.

At the same time, Hai is an active member of the study support club. Since his second year, Hai has been teaching and guiding first-year students to systematize their knowledge to study better. In the second semester of his second year, he was elected as Vice President of this club.

As a member of the Student Association, Hai represented students in dialogue with the school's board of directors, assisted students in finding accommodation, set up study groups on Facebook, participated in cultural and sports festivals, and many other volunteer activities.

At the end of his third year, Hai interned at FPT Corporation. Here, he gained more perspective on the business, understood the working process, standards and requirements related to actual work. In the middle of his fourth year, Hai applied for a programmer position and was accepted to work at Viettel even though he had not defended his project or had a diploma.

Busy with studying, extracurricular activities and working, Hai still completed 68 subjects with 155 credits one semester earlier than required.

To do this, the Bac Giang male student registered for many subjects in the first two years of university. Hai said that at that time, although he participated in many social activities, his time was not constrained so it was easy to arrange. He still had time for personal hobbies such as playing and watching football.

From the end of the third year onwards, when the number of subjects was not much, I was free to do part-time internships and work full-time. This helped me improve my practical problem-solving skills, and from there, Hai completed his graduation project with a score of 9.4/10.

Ngo Dinh Sang, Hai's classmate, was impressed by his ability to balance his studies and extracurricular activities. According to Sang, students usually only join one club, and with their studies, they run out of time. In addition, Sang assessed Hai as active, sociable, very intelligent and opinionated.

"The entrance score is enough to pass higher majors, but you have to research carefully and follow the desired major," Sang said.

According to Hai, learning and having a clear direction from high school helped him feel like he was on the right track and found a suitable job. This weekend, Hai will receive an engineering degree from Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

"I'm still attached to my current job, improving my English to be ready to study abroad for a master's degree if I have the opportunity," Hai shared.
