General objectives

The Bachelor’s program in Chinese Language, with a specialization in Chinese–English Bilingual Studies, is designed to train learners to become global citizens and highly adaptable professionals who can flexibly use both Chinese and English. Students will acquire strong language skills and the ability to proficiently apply both languages in professional work and advanced studies when working in government agencies, organizations, and enterprises at home and abroad. They will also be equipped to engage in scientific research and to participate in training and research collaborations with domestic and international institutions. With two concentrations—Chinese for tourism and Chinese for business—students will gain specialized language knowledge in fields that are and will continue to be in high demand in the labor market in Vietnam and beyond.

The program aims to produce graduates with political awareness, professional ethics, and the capacity to meet the practical needs of society. At the same time, it equips students with essential soft skills such as communication, teamwork, critical thinking, entrepreneurial thinking, a strong work ethic, dedication, creativity, lifelong learning, and a foundational understanding of politics, law, ethics, and scientific methodology.

The program also seeks to preserve Vietnamese cultural values and identity by incorporating courses on traditional musical instruments and Vovinam. These values foster national pride in students and provide them with distinctive qualities that set them apart when working in multicultural environments.
