When mentioning Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh, golf fans will immediately think of a brave athlete with stable performance and tactical playing style. Having started playing golf since he was young, Quoc Anh quickly proved his talent through a series of major tournaments. Quoc Anh has made his mark with impressive victories and championships at the following tournaments: U12, U15 national, BRG-VGM Junior Golf Championship 2019, Tien Phong Golf Championship 2019, Bamboo Airways Spring 2020 and FLC Golf Tournament 2025 - Spring Symphony.

However, when talking about these successes, Quoc Anh has never considered them as a destination. For him, each tournament is just a milestone in a long journey, where he learns more lessons than just winning. “I always think that there are many things to learn. Whether I win or lose, each match helps me realize what I need to improve,” Quoc Anh once shared. It is this spirit that helps Quoc Anh maintain focus and never allow himself to rest on his laurels.

This mindset is also applied by Quoc Anh in his studies. Not everyone knows that Imperial College London is always in the Top 10 universities in the world, with an extremely strict selection process. In particular, the Master's program Risk Management and Financial Engineering that Quoc Anh was admitted to has an extremely low acceptance rate, where each candidate not only needs an excellent GPA but also must demonstrate critical thinking, problem-solving ability and a clear development orientation.

To surpass thousands of applications from elite students around the world, Quoc Anh spent a lot of time building an outstanding profile. Not only focusing on academic achievements, Quoc Anh also focused on his personal essay - where he talked about his journey of balancing sports and academics, about the challenges and lessons that golf has brought. However, when mentioning this success, Quoc Anh does not consider it anything too special. For Quoc Anh, this is just a step forward on a long journey ahead.

Perseverance is a key factor, helping him not to be discouraged by challenges, whether it is an important match or a difficult exam. Courage and strategic thinking – two core elements in golf, also help Quoc Anh develop a logical learning method, always finding the most effective way to solve problems.

It is worth mentioning that, despite his many achievements, Quoc Anh still maintains a modest attitude. Quoc Anh does not overemphasize personal success, but always considers it as motivation to continue learning. “I have never thought that I am better than anyone else. There are still many things I need to improve, whether in golf or in studying,” Quoc Anh shared. Thanks to this mindset, he always stays calm, is not pressured by too high expectations, and constantly strives to improve himself every day.

Receiving an offer from Imperial College London is a milestone, but for Quoc Anh, this is not the end. Quoc Anh understands that there are many challenges ahead, and he is ready to face them with the spirit of an athlete – always persistent, disciplined and constantly striving. Nguyen Vu Quoc Anh’s story is a clear example that sports and academics can complement each other to create a well-rounded person.
