What do our students say? 
1810 Events Management Cohort
With my passion for event planning, I decided to pursue Events Management at BUV. After 12 years studying at public school, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and BUV is the place which gives me the opportunity to develop my hidden abilities and to help me become a better version of me. BUV not only has the British degree in Vietnam, but also has excellent facilities. In addition, the faculty is 100% foreigners who are excellent, enthusiastic and psychological and students are from many different countries. I shouldn’t forget to mention that there is an internship program at large companies and corporations such as Deloitte, VPBank, KPMG, JW Marriott, … from the first year. For me, BUV may not be the first choice but it is the most suitable one and I believe that BUV is also the best choice for young people who have a passion for events and media in Vietnam.

Since highschool, I found myself enjoying active and dynamic environments rather than paperwork, therefore I chose Events Management major. It could be seen that any major, or any job will requires foundational theories and times studying papers, but along with that, the practical opportunities of organising events at BUV were very beneficial and exciting. Studying at BUV helps me to gain a high-quality degree from British, along with BUV’s wide partners network, I believe that all BUV students will have a strong foundation and advantages for study opportunities and future career as well.
