They regularly participated in academic seminars, corporate workshops, and faculty research events, while maintaining strong academic performance and contributing to student union activities.

The evaluation committee highly appreciated the project for its relevance, rigorous research methodology, and the ability to apply academic knowledge to Vietnam’s real-world context. The achievement also reflects the Faculty of Finance – Accounting’s emphasis on practice-oriented learning and the integration of scientific research into its training programs.
