A UIT Alumnus’s Journey to Conquer Knowledge and Assert Himself in Singapore   “Don’t wait until you’re ready to start—start to become ready.” This is not just advice for students but also the life and work philosophy of Mr. Nguyen Anh Chuan, a 2009 alumnus of the Computer Engineering program at the University of Information Technology (UIT), VNU-HCM. From a tech enthusiast, he has written a journey to the world, conquering a Master of Science in Computer Engineering from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and currently working as a Solution Architect. A Turning Point: From UIT to NUS After graduating from UIT, Nguyen Anh Chuan began his career with two years of work in Vietnam. This period allowed him to take his first steps in building his career and also made him realize that “technology never stands still. If you don’t continuously learn and improve your knowledge, you will easily be left behind.” This realization spurred him to seek a top-tier learning environment where he could both enhance his expertise and expand his international connections—and his chosen destination was the Master of Science in Computer Engineering program at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Stepping into the NUS environment, the UIT alumnus quickly experienced the dynamic pace of learning, which also demanded proactivity. Mr. Chuan shared: “What impressed me the most was the extremely high intensity of studying. In just one three-hour session, lecturers could cover 100–150 slides at a very fast pace, requiring students to prepare in advance and conduct additional self-study after class.” Moreover, what excited him the most was the multicultural environment, offering opportunities to meet and learn from friends worldwide. Each person brought unique experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives, helping him broaden his mindset and absorb knowledge not only from textbooks but also from real-life stories and experiences. Alongside this, Mr. Chuan emphasized the importance of proactive learning: “Overseas, students are encouraged to self-study, research independently, and ask questions. Lecturers play a guiding role rather than conveying all the knowledge.” No Pressure, No Diamonds This immersive international learning environment provided the former UITer with invaluable experiences but also presented significant challenges. Mr. Chuan shared that he once faced extreme stress while juggling multiple roles. “During the day, I worked full-time; at night, I attended classes; and on weekends, I completed assignments or group projects. Particularly in the final semester, I was leading a team at work, finishing my thesis, and welcoming my first child.” However, Mr. Chuan never viewed these pressures as obstacles but rather as motivation to strive harder. He shared: “I overcame them by creating extremely detailed plans, prioritizing the most critical tasks, and, especially, receiving invaluable support from my family.” Making a Mark in the International Workplace After overcoming those challenging times, Nguyen Anh Chuan entered the phase of asserting his capabilities with greater confidence, ready to apply what he had learned in an international corporate environment. After working in the “Lion City,” Mr. Chuan clearly recognized the differences between the international and domestic work environments: “Everything is transparently defined, from goals and responsibilities to deadlines. At the same time, cultural diversity requires effective communication and collaboration with various working styles.” From the perspective of an IT professional in a global environment, Mr. Chuan keenly felt the rapid pace of technological advancement. “Five years ago, AI and IoT were just in their initial stages of explosion, but now they have become the foundation of many fields,” he noted. Looking toward the future, the NUS Master’s graduate believes: “AI, quantum computing, data security, and IoT will continue to explode. In Vietnam, technology will be the key to driving manufacturing, healthcare, and education, helping the country keep pace with global development.” Two Journeys, One Solid Foundation to Conquer Dreams Reflecting on his journey, Mr. Chuan deeply values both institutions that shaped who he is today. For the Computer Engineering alumnus, UIT was the starting point for his journey of self-discovery and pursuing his dreams. UIT provided him with a solid foundation in computer engineering, programming, systems thinking, essential soft skills, and valuable relationships and memories of his youth. Meanwhile, NUS helped him elevate his knowledge, stay updated with new technologies, and expand his international network, bringing him closer to global workplace standards. Through years of work, he realized that sustainable development in a flat world requires not only expertise but also the ability to learn continuously and work effectively with people. Mr. Chuan noted: “The ‘weapons’ I carried from my student days—self-learning mindset, teamwork spirit from group projects, and problem-solving skills from multiple perspectives—continue to prove their value in every project and critical decision in my current role.” A Message to Young People on Their Journey to the World “Be proactive—don’t wait for tasks to be assigned but seek opportunities to contribute; never stop learning—always stay updated with new technologies; and build credibility—keep promises and ensure work quality.” These are the lessons Mr. Nguyen Anh Chuan has distilled from years of experience, serving as his guiding principles to stand firm and assert himself in Singapore’s competitive environment. From his experiences and accumulated lessons, Mr. Chuan sends a message to UIT students dreaming of studying abroad or stepping into the international arena: “Excel in English to study and work effectively; proactively seek opportunities through scholarships, international projects, or internships abroad; and hone soft skills such as communication, time management, and teamwork. Above all, don’t wait until you’re ‘ready’ to start—because only by taking the plunge will you truly become ready.”

Exploration and Growth: The Journey from UIT to NUS Nguyễn Văn Tuấn Phong – Student of the Faculty of Information Systems, University of Information Technology (UIT) From a student at the University of Information Technology (UIT), Nguyễn Văn Tuấn Phong had the opportunity to embark on an inspiring and challenging journey at the National University of Singapore (NUS) through participation in the Regen Asia Summit (RAS) and Asian Undergraduate Symposium (AUS) in 2025. This was not only an opportunity for academic growth but also a pivotal moment in Phong's personal development and self-discovery. Singapore: A City Where Technology Meets Nature Singapore is a city that impresses everyone with its seamless integration of modern technology and lush greenery. Not only a dynamic financial hub, Singapore is also a symbol of sustainable development, where technology and the environment coexist and support each other’s growth. At the National University of Singapore (NUS), Phong experienced the vibrant "academic pulse," where every moment was an opportunity to learn and challenge oneself. "NUS is not just a place where I come to study. It is where every idea is nurtured, where I am pushed to face new academic challenges and explore the limits of my potential," Phong shared. Regen Asia Summit – A Call to Action from Global Leaders At the Regen Asia Summit, Phong had the opportunity to listen to passionate speeches from global leaders. A particularly impactful speech was delivered by Singapore's President, Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who emphasized that protecting the environment is not a choice but a matter of humanity's survival. His call to action made Phong realize the importance of personal responsibility and the fact that the younger generation cannot stand idle in the face of global challenges. "Protecting the environment is not a trend, but a responsibility of ours, of the younger generation. And even the smallest actions, which may not show immediate results, can create monumental change for the world," Phong asserted. In addition, discussions on emerging technologies such as AI and Blockchain expanded Phong's perspective on the potential of technology to create groundbreaking solutions to global challenges like climate change and natural resource preservation. Asian Undergraduate Symposium – Building Connected Communities At AUS, Phong continued to learn and experience the power of connection and community in a multicultural environment. Together with international students, he participated in practical projects and discussions on important issues such as sustainability, cultural heritage, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. These lessons helped Phong realize that, to build a just and sustainable society, every individual must contribute and act responsibly. One memorable project Phong participated in involved recycling plastic bags into useful products such as tote bags and rain shoe covers. This initiative not only promoted environmental protection but also demonstrated the power of collaboration and sharing within an international student community. These small actions affirmed one crucial point: We can create significant change from practical and meaningful deeds. Conclusion: A Journey of Growth and Valuable Experiences In the end, after an emotional and challenging journey in Singapore, Phong returned with not only academic knowledge but also priceless life experiences. "This trip was not just about studying; it was about how I have grown, the relationships I have built, and the newfound confidence I now have in my journey," Phong shared. For Phong, what he brought back was not just grades or certificates, but a more mature version of himself. He learned to view the world through multiple lenses, to listen to and respect differences, and most importantly, to act for a sustainable and fair future for all. "This trip has opened a new door for me, and I will continue walking with the belief that our small actions can change the world," Phong concluded. The journey from UIT to NUS marks the first step on a long road for Phong as he seeks to contribute to a better future.  

Opening the Door to the World – From UIT to NUS   Nguyễn Lê Phương Thy, a student from the Faculty of Information Systems, University of Information Technology (UIT), has opened a remarkable chapter in her academic journey — a semester exchange at the National University of Singapore (NUS) through the DiscoverNUS Exchange Program. For Thy, it was more than just a trip abroad; it was a turning point — a transformative experience where she learned to live independently, think proactively, and grow amidst one of Asia’s most rigorous academic environments. Inspired by an unforgettable summer at the AUN Symposium 2024, Thy had long dreamed of returning to NUS — not just for a short-term course, but to truly immerse herself in university life there. With careful preparation and persistence throughout the application process, she finally arrived in Singapore, ready to embark on five months of academic pursuit, self-discovery, and cultural exploration. Between Pressure and Growth The first days at NUS were filled with a mix of excitement and challenge. Despite a strong academic foundation from UIT, Thy found herself overwhelmed by the intensity of coursework, the demand for self-directed learning, and the fast-paced academic culture. Every lecture, discussion, group project, and midterm required critical thinking, time management, and relentless self-discipline. Yet amid those early struggles, Thy learned the value of seeking support — from international peers, teaching assistants, and professors — and gradually found her rhythm. She realized that academic excellence isn't just about absorbing information, but about asking the right questions, admitting what you don’t know, and being persistent in finding answers. Core skills nurtured at UIT — from teamwork and data analysis to technical writing — became crucial tools in helping her meet deadlines, tackle assessments, and navigate sleepless nights at the library. But at NUS, everything was sharpened to a new level: more refined, more logical, and more resilient. Unforgettable Moments Beyond the Classroom Amid academic rigor, Thy’s journey in Singapore unfolded like a symphony of youthful experience. It was her first time celebrating Lunar New Year away from home — simple, yet warm — with the Vietnamese student community in Singapore. There were afternoons cycling through the lush NUS campus, budget grocery trips, and lessons in sustainable living and self-reliance. It was her first time fully experiencing a multicultural world: sharing Halal meals with Muslim friends, learning about Ramadan, listening to stories about faith and lifestyle from other cultures. Each interaction stretched her worldview and deepened her empathy. After exams, spontaneous weekend trips to Malaysia, late-night group projects, and shared laughter over debugging code became vibrant snapshots of student life — filled with trial, error, and growth. These were the lessons that no syllabus could offer, but were profoundly transformative. When the exchange program ended, what Thy brought home wasn’t just a transcript or souvenir photos — it was a more grounded, mature version of herself. Someone who knows what she wants, understands where she stands, and is ready to take her next steps with confidence. From Uncertainty to Clarity Singapore welcomed Phương Thy with an academic culture that was fast-paced, demanding, and unlike anything she had experienced before. NUS classrooms weren’t just spaces for lectures; they were platforms for discussion, debate, and student-led inquiry. The reading lists were dense, the deadlines relentless, the group dynamics ever-evolving. There were moments when she questioned if she was falling behind — but she adapted. She learned to ask questions without hesitation. She learned how to learn. She stepped into the world of others — to understand, and to be understood. Her first Tet holiday away from home became a moment of meaningful connection with the Vietnamese student community. Simple weekend meals with international friends, impromptu bus rides across borders, or evening bike rides around campus — all these became lessons in independence, resilience, and personal discovery. For the first time, she truly witnessed a multicultural society — where Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism coexist peacefully. And she listened — without judgment, without comparison. When Growth Is No Longer Abstract Concluding her exchange semester at NUS, Phương Thy returned not just with knowledge or the distinction of being a UIT student at one of Asia’s top universities. What she truly gained was a clearer, stronger, and humbler version of herself. She learned to view problems from multiple angles, to ask questions before seeking answers. She learned how to be a “freshman” again — this time not lost, but guided by direction and belief. Every small mistake in a project, every late-night study session, every group discussion that stretched into the night — all became building blocks of her personal growth. To Thy, the most valuable takeaway wasn’t a certificate — it was a set of life tools: self-learning, international collaboration, connection, and an open, global mindset. The exchange semester was not an ending, but a beginning — of living, learning, and dreaming bigger.

SUMMER IN BRUNEI 2025 — A JOURNEY OF A YOUNG PERSON WHO DARED TO STEP INTO THE WORLD Nguyễn Lý Đăng Khoa — student of the Faculty of Information Systems, University of Information Technology (UIT) — represented Vietnam at the AUN UBD Summer Camp 2025. Stepping out of the comfort zone — and the world unfolds Setting foot in Brunei for the AUN UBD Summer Camp 2025, I didn’t feel like I was simply attending an international summer camp — it felt more like opening a window and suddenly seeing a new world: peaceful, green, and full of unfamiliar wonders. Brunei may be small in size, but it tells a compelling story of growth and sustainability. From tree-lined roads to the floating village of Kampong Ayer — where people live in harmony with the water — I found myself deeply inspired by how a nation can progress without compromising the environment. Hosted by Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) — a pioneer in sustainability among Southeast Asian universities — the camp embraced the theme: “Green Stewardship: Preserving Biodiversity and Advancing Sustainable Development.” It opened up an entirely new journey of awareness and understanding for me. Along with other participants, I took classes in mangrove forests, joined seminars on ocean conservation at the Royal Navy Base, and discussed food security with fellow students from ASEAN+3 countries. It was a learning environment where we weren’t just encouraged to speak — we were genuinely heard. Brunei, to me, wasn't just a wealthy country as some stereotypes suggest. It was a living space where people consciously chose to slow down, to live green, and to live in harmony with nature. Shaded pathways, lively floating homes, tranquil campus afternoons, and evenings spent under the stars discussing the future of our planet — all painted a picture of a world deeply rooted in sustainable living. Every class at UBD was a unique slice of education, culture, and ecology. I learned about mangrove ecosystems, joined environmental workshops, and visited ports, botanical gardens, and even the Royal Navy station. On quiet afternoons, I walked through nature reserves with friends, listening to Bruneian professors share how they teach students to cherish life — from the tiniest insect to every leaf and branch. And that’s when I asked myself: “If I hadn’t come, would I ever have understood that living green isn’t a trend — it’s the sustainable way of life the world is choosing?” From academics to performance — I dared to try what I never had What impressed me wasn’t just what we learned — it was how we learned together. I met peers from Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, China, and beyond. Each person brought their own story, working style, and perspective on development. This diversity wove together a truly collaborative tapestry. In our group project, we created a video, developed a proposal for marine conservation, and presented it to a panel. There were moments of disagreement, racing against deadlines, and even editing videos on empty stomachs. But in the middle of all that chaos, friendships blossomed — we talked about everything from coral reefs to street food. Perhaps the most unforgettable moment was the “Red Blood, Yellow Skin” dance performance by the Vietnamese team at the Cultural Night. We spent days rehearsing, syncing every move and beat. As I stood on stage, under the lights, dressed in traditional áo dài, I realized something simple but profound: sharing Vietnamese culture with the world doesn’t have to be complicated — it just needs to be heartfelt and authentic. The trip may have ended — but a new journey has only just begun After more than a week in Brunei, I returned to Vietnam with so much “baggage” — not souvenirs or certificates, but personal growth, renewed academic motivation, and a more confident, thoughtful version of myself. My suitcase wasn’t heavy, but my heart was full — of new lessons, perspectives, and aspirations. I realized that being a good student is not enough. What matters more is learning in order to make a difference. Every time we step out of our comfort zone, we give ourselves the chance to discover a bolder, broader, and braver version of who we are. And I truly believe that every UIT student can step into the world — if they dare. Because behind us is always our home — UIT — a place that doesn’t just train excellent professionals, but nurtures global citizens. “The world is wide, and we — young Vietnamese — absolutely have a place in it, even in the smallest way, by understanding, sharing, and connecting.” The friends I hugged at the airport as we said goodbye are now part of an international network — inspiring one another, striving forward, and staying connected. More than just a trip — it was a mirror reflecting who I could become The AUN Summer Camp wasn’t just a program. It was a mirror — helping me see myself more clearly. And if there’s one thing I’ve taken away from it all, it’s this: Wherever you go, whatever you study — live with responsibility. To nature. To your community. And to yourself. I would like to extend my deepest thanks to University of Information Technology (UIT), the AUN Network, and Universiti Brunei Darussalam for creating such an inspiring and transformative journey.

"I realized that as long as you dare to step out of your comfort zone, the world will open up before your eyes." — Lý Phi Lân, President of the Student Association, University of Information Technology, representative of Vietnam at AUN Summer Camp 2025 In mid-June, under the vibrant summer sun, Lý Phi Lân set off for Brunei to participate in the AUN Summer Camp 2025 – a regional summer program for university students from ASEAN countries. This year’s theme, “Green Stewardship: Preserving Biodiversity and Advancing Sustainable Development,” brought together youth committed to shaping a better future. For Lân, a fourth-year student at the University of Information Technology (UIT), the trip not only represented Vietnam on the international stage, but also marked the beginning of an inspiring personal transformation — a journey of a young person carrying the proud “UIT spirit.” STEPPING OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE – MEETING A NEW VERSION OF YOURSELF As the President of the Student Association at UIT, Lý Phi Lân is no stranger to local student activities. But for the first time, setting foot in another country, living and working in a multicultural environment, was something completely new. The moment he boarded the plane to Brunei, he told himself: “This is where I’ll learn how to grow — in a different way.” Representing UIT and Vietnam at an ASEAN-level summer camp was not only a great honor but also a true challenge — from adapting to new cultures, presenting in English, to even stepping into the unfamiliar world of acting in a media production. Yet each activity opened a new door for Lân — a space where confidence was built through the willingness to speak, to try, and to push boundaries. Brunei welcomed Lân with tall palm trees, quiet streets, and the beautiful Universiti Brunei Darussalam, often referred to as the “academic heart” of the nation. Lân shared that what impressed him most wasn’t the advanced facilities or technology, but the way people there deeply respected nature — making environmental consciousness a core part of their education. Every seminar and lecture on sustainability felt like a new window opening in his mind. BEYOND THE CLASSROOM – STORIES THAT STAY The journey extended beyond university halls. Lân visited traditional fishing ports, golden royal palaces under the setting sun, and wandered through Kampong Ayer, the iconic water village that felt like a living museum. Each destination told a story. Each story revealed a new perspective on culture, the environment, and the soul of Southeast Asia. REPRESENTING VIETNAMESE CULTURE – THROUGH SIMPLICITY AND SINCERITY Without needing anything extravagant, Lân represented Vietnam with authenticity: a traditional performance, a presentation on protecting marine ecosystems, and heartfelt conversations introducing Vietnamese culture to international friends. Throughout his days in Brunei, he portrayed the image of a UIT student who is dynamic, confident, knowledgeable, and proud of his roots. Whether under the flowing áo dài on stage during cultural exchange or while visiting the Vietnamese Embassy, the spirit of “I am part of this nation” shone clearly in his eyes, gestures, and every story he shared. THE MOST VALUABLE SOUVENIR: THE DESIRE TO CONTRIBUTE Lân returned with a certificate of participation, countless memorable photos, and dozens of new international connections. But what he truly brought back wasn’t something in his suitcase — it was a fire in his heart: the strong desire to give back to the UIT community, and to further engage in meaningful student initiatives across Southeast Asia. From group discussions and sustainability seminars to immersive local experiences, Lân came to a powerful realization: young people don’t just study to excel — they learn to make a difference. And when each student takes initiative to connect, learn, and act, the dream of a sustainable Southeast Asia will no longer be distant. The University of Information Technology believes that Lý Phi Lân’s journey is not just a memorable experience, but a spark that will inspire many others. Keep dreaming big, stepping out, and building connections — because the world is vast, and your youth will always have UIT standing behind you. Congratulations, Lý Phi Lân, for proudly carrying the vibrant “UIT color” to your ASEAN friends. May the doors that AUN Summer Camp has opened continue to lead you toward new horizons — where knowledge, connection, and purpose grow stronger every day.
