University life does not begin with just a classroom, a timetable, or your first lectures. It is also the moment when you step into a completely new environment, meet new friends, discover experiences you have never had before, and gradually find a new version of yourself.
For VNUK freshmen, this journey officially begins with Orientation Week 2026, taking place from August 24 to 28, 2026.
It is a time for you to get to know VNUK, become familiar with its learning environment, connect with the student community, and get ready for the university journey ahead.
Why Orientation Week Matters
Orientation Week is held annually to help freshmen:
- Become familiar with VNUK’s learning environment, culture, and core values.
- Understand the university’s rules and regulations, as well as students’ rights and responsibilities, so that they can take an active role in their studies and personal development.
- Connect with lecturers, senior students, fellow freshmen, and the organizations and partners working alongside VNUK.
- Gain essential skills, experiences, and guidance to begin their university journey with confidence and initiative.
Orientation Week is more than just an orientation program for freshmen. It is also an opportunity for each student to discover themselves, broaden their perspectives, and create the first memorable moments of their university life.
