We ask, Student answers!
“Today is the last week in Saigon. The week we need to say goodbye to our classmates, exchange students, buddies, our department, our guard, and many other important things. It has been a pleasure having this opportunity to combine studies, internships, and living our best lives.
While arriving in Saigon, the University made a WhatsApp group, which was the start of our journey. People from different countries (Sweden, France, Germany, Spain, Czechoslovakia) were united and started to discover Vietnam together as a group. The barriers between us broke from day one and it felt like we knew each other from our previous life. We never knew that these people will be so important after only six months together.
In Vietnam, there is so much to see, and we still feel that we haven’t seen everything. Some of the cities we discovered were Hanoi, Hoi An, Danang, Vung Tau, Mui Ne, Phu Quoc, Halong Bay, and Mekong Delta. We made all of this as a group (climbing, swimming, exploring, etc.).
The buddies gave us some advice as they are the experts in this country which made the trips much easier. We could also find out the hidden things the tourist doesn’t know about.
Furthermore, we had the opportunity to see another country far, far from our home, and a culture that differs a lot from ours (which we learned a lot from). One of the most important lessons we found from this country is how polite people in Vietnam are, so happy and they are also living their life at the moment, they are enjoying all the small things (we will definitely take that with us).
We want to thank the University for all the help (especially Ms. Tram for responding and helping with all the questions we had).
This trip, with these people, will always be an important chapter in our life ❤️ “

Student’s Profile:
Full name: Traub Yannick Lukas;
From: ESB Business School, Reutlingen University;
Field of study: International Operations and Logistic Management;
Level: Undergraduate;
Exchange Term: Fall semester – AY 2020-2021
1. Why did you choose IU-VNU as your exchange destination, given that you must strictly follow the 14-day quarantine regulation and take more risks in the pandemic conditions?
2. How do you feel about your study at IU-VNU? (facility, study program, academic support, etc)
When I arrived on campus for the first time, I thought “what have I let myself into?” The university is in the middle of this developing area with roads that end in the middle of nowhere, some metal shacks lining the roads near it and after I walked down along a muddy path next to the construction fence of the new building, the existing building looked a bit outdated from the outside. But as soon as I entered the building my mind immediately changed – the classrooms and lecture halls are very similar to my German university in their furniture and technical equipment, there is a nice, relaxing green area in between the two buildings and all the friendly people quickly let you forget any of the negative things you might come across.
All my lecturers are really nice and also willing to help you in case of any problems. Their teaching style is a little different to what I was used to, but in general nothing I wasn’t able to cope with. As a matter of fact, the main reason for my exchange semester was to experience cultural differences like that. Last but not least, I always felt like there is someone I can go to if I had a problem. Especially the guys from the CIM were amazing and could help me with anything! Without them, it would not have been possible to have this experience at all!
To sum it up, I always felt happy to be here in Vietnam and study at IU-VNU. There was some small problems and differences to Germany, but that’s what I came to see and there was always someone to help me!

Student’s Profile:
Full name: Sofia Jimena Robles Lera;
From: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid;
Field of study: Biomedical Engineering;
Level: Undergraduate;
Exchange Term: Fall semester – AY 2020-2021
1. Why did you choose IU-VNU as your exchange destination, given that you must strictly follow the 14-day quarantine regulation and take more risks in the pandemic conditions?
I chose to continue my study abroad program with IUVNU mainly because although the covid-19 outbreak already happened, the IU administration kept in close contact with me clarifying the Vietnamese situation and explaining to me that there may be a slim chance for me to study here in Vietnam. The way the management helped me played a key part in my decision about whether to come here to study or not. They made me feel safe and secure in my decision.
Also, I was aware of how the Vietnamese government was handling the pandemics and I knew they were handling it well. So coming here was still a realistic option for me aside from all the possible obstacles that a 14 days quarantine entails. The situation in Spain was and still is far worse compared to here, so it was the right design for me. In the end, IU-VNU supported me through the whole process, giving me all the details needed about the paperwork and how to follow it.
Since IU offers all its degrees in English it is easier for international students to consider this destination as a feasible option for their studies. As this feature helps to be seen as any other university destination in Europe or America. But the fact of being in Asia is a plus, due to the whole experience you can get for the cultural contrast. And, compared to other Asian university destinies, Vietnam is a way more affordable option compared to Singapore or South Korea which not everyone would be able to afford. Also because sometimes those universities only accept students with really high average marks while at IU they are not so demanding, so any regular student can still have the chance to study in Asia if the choose Vietnam.
2. How do you feel about your study at IU-VNU? (facility, study program, academic support, etc)
After I finish my last exam today and semester here, I’m glad to say that I’m pleasantly satisfy with almost all the aspects regarding my studies at IU-VNU.
First, because the academic program my major has at IU (Biomedical engineering) is really similar to the one from my home university so I didn’t feel lost when it came to applying knowledge from other years into the new subjects.
Then, I wasn’t sure what to expect about the facilities but once I got the uni it was a great surprise to see how good and big are facilities, it will not disappoint you. Also, regarding the evaluation criteria they follow in most of the subject, in my case there are some different aspects compared to what I’m used to from my home university. For example, first there might be some subjects where they check attendance, and then they give a considerable final mark percentage to the continuous evaluation as you might have to do each week either an essay, or quiz, or presentation. But this way I think is easier to handle the subjects. Is also worth mentioning the thing that IU students are always willing to help you if you asked them and you will receive more help from them that you even thought.
So in the end, I had a very welcoming experience at IU. Mainly because you will not only, be experiencing the uni life but, you will still have time to enjoy as a foreign the pleasures that Vietnam offers.
