Making the most of four years at university
From setting personal goals and building motivation to developing an effective study plan, understanding what employers expect from new graduates, strengthening professional competencies, and building a CV from the very first year, the program focused on one practical message: The knowledge, competencies, and personal qualities students develop throughout their four years at UEH should prepare them to confidently pursue the careers they aspire to.
Real-world career stories from students and alumni
Current students and alumni of the Master's program in Corporate Sustainability and Environmental Management brought real-world professional experiences into the conversation, sharing their career journeys, lessons learned, and practical perspectives with K52.
Du Quoc Duy, Vo Minh Minh, and Nguyen Thi Minh Giang, current students and alumni of the Master's program, shared hands-on experiences from their professional journeys.
Connecting students with industry from day one
Representatives from partner companies spoke directly about the competencies, attitudes, skills, and preparation they expect from young graduates, helping K52 students gain an early understanding of the professional world and the opportunities ahead.
PhD Candidate Tran Van Quy, CEO of Trung Quy Textile and Garment Company, shared his perspective on “What Employers Expect from New Graduates.”
Ms. Bui Thi Kim Hien, Human Resources Manager at Yusen Logistics, guided K52 students on how to begin building and strengthening their CVs from the very first year of university.
Interactive games on ESG, the SDGs, climate issues, and the field of study helped K52 students engage with sustainability in a fun, accessible, and energetic way.
On the very first day of their journey at SFI, K52 students received academic recognition awards, educational support, and “Sustainable Pioneer” gifts - meaningful encouragement in recognition of their efforts and the path they have chosen.
Behind these activities was the generous support of our partner companies, current Master’s students, and alumni, whose contributions of resources, professional experience, and opportunities help bring students closer to real-world practice throughout their learning journey.
Our sincere appreciation to our partner companies for their continued support and companionship.
And for K52, perhaps the most important message from the Sustainable Finance Institute – UEH at the Welcome Program was:
Start preparing for your future from your very first year. Four years at university will pass quickly. The earlier you understand what you want to achieve and what you need to develop, the more time you will have to learn, gain experience, explore new opportunities, challenge yourself, and adjust your direction along the way.
The Sustainable Finance Institute – UEH believes that over the next four years, K52 students will grow not only in knowledge and professional capabilities, but also into kind, healthy, responsible young people who are ready to create meaningful and sustainable value for the future.
Welcome, K52, to the Sustainable Finance Institute – UEH community.
The journey of SUSTAINABLE GEN K52 has officially begun.
There is so much ahead to learn, experience, explore, challenge yourselves — and create value together.
