During the festival, students have the opportunity to experience the creative and research environment of the University. At the same time, parents and students can update new, specific and comprehensive admission information to have a better understanding of teaching methods and training programs. A new feature in the application file for this year’s contest is that candidates can only register for a whole combined exam of Natural Science or Social Sciences. Therefore, they cannot register to select each of the component subjects for the combined exam. In addition, candidates may not put an X in each subject, because this is for high school graduates.
Admission and Career Orientation Day is an opportunity for parents and students to meet directly representatives of the Ministry of Education and Training, the Board of Directors, Head of the training departments in the University for advice on new features of the national exam this year as well as admission to universities and colleges in 2020. This is an opportunity for students, teachers, and parents to take career advice, directly observe and learn about teaching and research activities, learning environment, facilities, quality of service, etc. of the participating universities.
