STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM – A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR A THOUSAND INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES

“The student exchange program is not only a learning process but also a journey of self-discovery, connecting with the world, and expanding personal boundaries.” Lê Đại Dương, a dual-major student in English Language and International Business, shared after completing an exchange program at Yschools University (France).

The international student exchange program offers numerous significant benefits, particularly for language students. First, studying in an international environment helps students enhance their language skills through real-life communication and direct exposure to advanced educational systems. Second, this experience broadens cultural understanding, strengthens intercultural communication skills, and improves adaptability in a global environment.

However, Vietnamese students participating in exchange programs also face certain challenges, including cultural differences, new learning methods, and the high demand for independence. At the same time, supportive factors such as assistance from the home university, networks of international students, and a diverse learning environment help students adapt quickly and maximize their potential.

To participate in an exchange program, students need to carefully understand the selection criteria, complete the application process, and prepare both their language skills and mindset before entering a new learning environment. Practical experiences shared by former exchange students provide valuable insights and encourage others to seize this opportunity to develop themselves and their future careers.
