Nguyen Hoang Hong Phung, an industrial management student from Ho Chi Minh City, and Ho Tran Anh Thu, who studied industrial systems engineering – logistics and supply chain management from Can Tho, will receive their diplomas in late November.
For Hong Phung, this achievement was beyond imagination; on her first day, her only goal was to pass all subjects and graduate on time. Phung plans to pursue a master's degree in business administration soon.
Anh Thu stated that thanks to the strong and comprehensive knowledge base at Bach Khoa, she surpassed about 2,000 applications to become one of 7 members of Unilever Vietnam's Future Leaders Programme 2025 management training program.
Both Phung and Thu believe that the training program at Bach Khoa is challenging, requiring focus in class, self-study, and additional research.
"80% of success at Bach Khoa comes from self-study, reading materials, doing group assignments, and systematizing knowledge. Regardless of the learning method, understanding the core of the problem is the key to achieving high scores," Thu concluded.
Associate Professor Doctor Bui Hoai Thang, Head of the Training Department, noted that while many assume men have an advantage in technical and technology fields, female students at Bach Khoa consistently demonstrate strong academic performance. Despite comprising only about 20% of the student body, female students often have a higher on-time graduation rate than males. Furthermore, 40-50% of new graduates with top-tier GPAs are female.
"Female students entering Bach Khoa are determined to study with a serious, highly focused, and progressive spirit," Associate Professor Doctor Thang explained.

This is the first year Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology has calculated academic cumulative scores on a 4-point scale instead of a 10-point scale. When converted, a student achieving 8,5/10 or higher is equivalent to a perfect score on the 4-point scale.
In April, La Nguyen Gia Hy, 22, a student from the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering, was the first student at this university to graduate half a year early with a perfect GPA.
