On October 2, 2026, the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health organized the “Welcome New Students 2026” program in a vibrant, exciting, and enthusiastic atmosphere. The event offered new students memorable experiences with a series of engaging activities.
In 2026, the School welcomed 460 new students across 5 training programs: Doctor of Preventive Medicine (107), Bachelor of Public Health (77), Bachelor of Nutrition (109), Bachelor of Psychology (86), and Bachelor of Social Work (81). The program was an opportunity for students to meet the program directors, faculty members from various departments, and staff from the School's offices, to familiarize themselves with the new learning environment, and to connect with their peers.
In his welcoming speech, Prof. PhD. Le Minh Giang – Dean of the SPMPH, thanked the new students and their families for trusting and choosing the School. He also conveyed three messages from the Rector to the students: Be proud to be a student of Hanoi Medical University, embrace a proactive learning spirit, and continuously innovate. He expressed his hope that students would always cultivate knowledge, enhance soft skills, and embrace artificial intelligence tools to seize numerous learning opportunities. The School will create the best possible conditions for students to study in a professional and supportive learning environment.
Representing the University's leadership: Assoc. Prof. PhD. Le Dinh Tung – Vice Rector of Hanoi Medical University, congratulated the School on achieving its admissions targets for 2026 and affirmed that the University would create the best conditions for students to access scholarship opportunities during their studies.
Representing the Youth Union, Ms. Dinh Linh Trang, MA – Secretary of the SPMPH Youth Union, welcomed the new students, introduced activities organized by the Youth Union with the participation of students from various disciplines, and encouraged new students to actively engage in Youth Union activities. This provides a beneficial platform for students to interact and learn new things from their peers and senior students from different specializations.
After the general meeting, students from each program had the opportunity to meet separately with their respective program managers, lecturers, and alumni. Here, they gained a clearer understanding of their curriculum, had their questions about the training process answered, and participated in activities organized by students from their own programs, fostering interaction and connection with their cohort and senior students. The sharing from alumni helped students feel more confident about their academic journey ahead.
The Welcome New Students event is not only the first greeting for new members but also an occasion to connect generations, spreading pride and solidarity within the common home of the School. We wish all new students brilliant years of study and training, living up to the trust and expectations of their families, teachers, and society.
