Academic Support

At VinUniversity, we believe that academic success goes beyond the classroom. To support your child’s learning journey, we offer a variety of resources and services designed to enhance their educational experience. Students can receive personalized support during office hours with lecturers, allowing for in-depth discussions and guidance on coursework. Our well-equipped library provides an extensive collection of books and research materials to help students with their academic pursuits. Additionally, the Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) program offers a collaborative learning environment, where students can work together and learn from one another. These resources are part of VinUni’s commitment to helping students achieve their academic goals and develop a strong foundation for their future.

To further support your child’s academic journey, here are some tips for parents to help them make the most of these valuable resources:

1. Promote Effective Study Habits

At some point in their first year, many students feel overwhelmed. They may call or text home, fearing their admission was a mistake. We hear this often. Listen, encourage and reassure. Suggest they talk to their academic advisor, the academic advisor in their residence or their resident fellow. Remind them of the support resources at Stanford, such as tutoring, help with study skills and counseling.

2. Encourage Participation in Research and Projects

The academic program at VinUni is designed to encourage close interaction between students and faculty. Suggest they collaborate with faculty on research initiatives, join academic clubs, or take part in university-led projects. Participating in conferences and presenting their work can provide valuable experience and exposure, broadening their academic and professional horizons.

3. Inspire Learning for the Sake of Learning

VinUni’s general education requirements are designed to encourage intellectual exploration. Suggest they study a subject they have never studied before. Many students are accustomed to collecting credentials needed for college admission. Encourage them, instead, to learn for the sake of learning.

4. Be a supportive companion

At some point in their first year, many students feel overwhelmed. They may call or text home, fearing their admission was a mistake. We hear this often. Listen, encourage and reassure. Recognize their hard work and celebrate their achievements, big or small, to boost their confidence and motivation, regardless of the outcomes. Your support and belief in them can make all the difference.
