Welcome to Vietnam and to VNU – Vietnam National University, Hanoi!

We are delighted that you have chosen to begin your academic journey here, where you will not only gain knowledge but also experience the rich and vibrant culture of Vietnam.

This handbook, the Vietnam Starter Pack, is designed to help you navigate your new life with ease. Inside, you will find essential information about living, studying, and exploring Vietnam — from transportation tips and cultural insights to must-visit places and useful contacts.

Studying abroad is an exciting opportunity but can also be challenging at first. Stay open-minded, embrace differences, and don’t be afraid to ask questions or seek help. Remember to show respect for local customs, be patient with language barriers, and take time to build friendships with both Vietnamese and international peers.

We hope this guide will serve as your trusted companion, making your transition smoother and your experience more meaningful. Wishing you a successful, safe, and unforgettable journey at VNU and in Vietnam!
