The Faculty of Science and Technology proudly congratulates student Nguyen Tri Dung (Class 23BMS – Biomedical Science major) on his outstanding achievement of being selected for the Amgen Scholars in Asia 2026 program at two of Asia’s leading universities: the National University of Singapore (Singapore) and Kyoto University (Japan).
Amgen Scholars – A Prestigious Summer Research Scholarship
Amgen Scholars is a highly regarded international summer research program hosted by top universities worldwide, aiming to nurture and develop the next generation of young scientists in the fields of Life Sciences, Biology, and Biotechnology.
With intense competition from thousands of international applicants, receiving offers from both prestigious institutions is a clear testament to Dung’s academic excellence, research potential, and strong global integration capabilities as a VNUK student.
An Impressive International Academic Journey
This achievement marks another milestone in Dung’s remarkable international academic journey. Previously, he has:
- Been awarded a scholarship to participate in the “Frontiers of Life Sciences” International Undergraduate Summer School 2025 at Westlake University (China)
- Taken part in a semester-long exchange program at Kyoto University—one of the leading universities in Japan and Asia
Consistently making his mark at prestigious academic institutions such as Westlake University, Kyoto University, and the National University of Singapore reflects his steady growth in research mindset and academic capability as a Biomedical Science student.
A Student’s Perspective
Sharing about his journey, Dung said:
“The application process helped me better understand my research direction as well as my personal strengths. Receiving offers from both NUS and Kyoto is truly a special experience. I hope to gain more knowledge and experience from international research environments to further develop in the field of biomedical science.”
Spreading the Spirit of Academic Excellence and Global Integration
This achievement not only highlights Dung’s dedication and capabilities but also reflects the strong academic spirit, proactiveness, and global aspirations of VNUK students.
It serves as a powerful source of inspiration for young people pursuing Biomedical Science in particular and science in general on their journey toward international integration.
We wish Dung a meaningful and enriching summer research experience and continued success on his scientific journey ahead!
