Student Scientific Research Report – Cohort 2019, Academic Year 2022–2023.

Scientific research is a process of exploration, study, investigation, and continuous effort by students. It is also a journey for those who are passionate and determined to introduce new methods, solutions, and tools that meet the learning and development needs of society.

At 8:00 AM on October 20, 2022, in Room D105, Campus 2, Lac Hong University, the official presentation session for student scientific research projects (SRP) of the 2019 cohort took place.

The session was attended by members of the Evaluation Council:

• PhD Nguyen Van Tan – Dean of FAIE

• MSc Ta Thi Thanh Huong – Vice Dean of FAIE

• PhD Candidate Luu Ngoc Liem – Head of Human Resource Management Department

• MSc Huynh Thi Nhu Hieu – Head of Business and Commercial Law Department

• MSc Phan Van Hai – Head of Tourism Management and Operations Department

Along with lecturers and staff of FAIE, more than 50 students from the 2019 cohort and 2020 students who are planning to conduct research also attended.

After four months of research and dedicated guidance from FAIE lecturers, students successfully completed their projects with innovative and practical topics that offer significant value. This year, 10 research projects were carried out by 17 students. The topics reflected current national trends and development orientations. In addition to submitting the full research paper prior to the presentation day, students were required to prepare a project abstract, design a standee, and display it during the evaluation session.

Each group had 7 minutes to present, followed by questions and feedback from the Council to further refine the research. Students were advised to enhance practical surveys, balance the structure and content across chapters, master their research thoroughly, and provide more practical solutions and orientations. They were also encouraged to expand their research scope and deepen their understanding of related topics.

The Evaluation Council worked seriously and objectively to ensure fair and deserving results. High-quality projects highly appreciated by the Council will be nominated for university-level presentations and national research competitions such as Eureka.

Over the four months of conducting research alongside internships, supervisors played a crucial role as mentors and bridges, guiding students toward producing the best possible research outcomes.

Students demonstrated strong preparation skills, confident presentation styles, well-designed PowerPoint slides, and informative standees that clearly reflected their research content. Overall, the academic quality and depth were satisfactory. Business Administration projects included specific and clear data despite challenges caused by COVID-19 and internship difficulties. Economic Law projects presented well-structured content with logical chapter connections. Meanwhile, projects in International Economics (Foreign Trade) and Tourism and Travel Management were also highly evaluated for their novelty, practicality, and clear objectives supported by field surveys.

Through participating in scientific research, students equipped themselves with analytical skills, research methodology knowledge, and a deeper understanding of practical aspects related to their fields of study. The process also helped them identify and bridge knowledge gaps. The research journey provided valuable lessons in independence, teamwork, analytical and synthesis skills, and problem-solving abilities when facing challenges during the research process.
