The ceremony was a milestone marking the maturity of 21 graduates of Bachelor of Business Studies – Intake 8, who had chosen to spend their final year in Vietnam; other students with the final year in the UK also had a solemn graduation ceremony at the University of Bedfordshire last month. All the students deserved to be honored for their hard work during the past four years, overcoming rigorous requirements to obtain the internationally recognized bachelor’s degree of University of Bedfordshire and IELTS results from 6.0 – 8.0; especially, many had found a suitable job in the 4^th year. Every student graduating with initial success on their career path brings great joy to the Faculty of International Education. We wish the new graduates, as their seniors, to find their true call in both career and life, “be bold, be strong” to take control of their own lives.
