On 02 April 2016, British University Vietnam (BUV) held an Open Day event at our city campus, 193 Ba Trieu, Hanoi.

One of the event’s highlights came in the form of our 6 guest speakers, each of whom is an international business leader. BUV was honoured to welcome guests such as Mr Michael Piro – COO of Indochina Land, and Mr Greg Vargas – Director of Yahoo Global Talent Acquisition, as well as guest speakers from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, The Hilton Group, Vietcombank, and more.

Demo classes attracted students to participate

Students visiting the event had the opportunity to join demonstration classes in Marketing, Tourism, Finance, and English with BUV’s international lecturers. Outstanding students in the demonstration classes were selected by the faculty for an on-the-spot scholarship of 30% of a programme’s tuition fees.

Students also had the opportunity to learn about the President’s Scholarship and the HRH Prince Andrew, The Duke of York Scholarship, valued at 700 million VND. In addition, visitors were able to meet and learn from former scholarship winners, as well as meet BUV’s alumni, many of whom have now graduated and are highly successful professionals. Our alumni shared their experiences about student life, internships, and how BUV helped them to forge their career path.

Aside from academic activities, the event offered a number of fun games and challenges, organised by the school’s student clubs. These included stalls offering Korean and Thai food from the Cooking Club, games from the Golf Club and Sports Club, and performances from the Music Club. Students rounded off the day spinning for a prize on our Lucky Wheel challenge.
