With an aim to improving students’ social skills as well as their friendship, The camp takes place at November each year and all students of our international programs can join this event.

Students can choose to join in one or more clubs including English Club, Sport Clubs, Journalism Club, Photography Club, Performing Club (OGC) and lots of other academic clubs such as researching, robocon, etc. The clubs will be run by senior students and the new members will always be welcome and encouraged of joining and contributing.

We always encourage our students to establish their own club with an aim of creating an exchange community, a healthy playground for themselves to learn, exchange, experience and grow. The clubs not only welcome students from our international programs but also students coming from all other programs in HCMC University of Technology.
