The ceremony was honoured by the presence of Associate Professor Dr Pham Thu Huong, President of Foreign Trade University; Associate Professor Dr Dao Ngoc Tien, Vice President; Associate Professor Dr Vu Thi Hien, Vice President; as well as leaders of relevant faculties and lecturers directly responsible for and involved in teaching the international joint training programmes.

Representing the partner universities in the United Kingdom, the ceremony welcomed Ms Becky Bradshaw, Acting Vice-Chancellor of the University of Northampton; Mr Chris Marshall, Dean of the Business School at the University of Bedfordshire; and Mr Ray Priest, Regional Director for Asia-Pacific and Managing Director of UWE Educational Services.

Representatives from businesses and partner organisations of the Faculty of International Education (FOIE) also attended the ceremony, sharing in the joy and congratulating the graduates on this important milestone in their academic journeys.

In her remarks at the ceremony, Associate Professor Dr Ho Thuy Ngoc, Dean of the Faculty of International Education, extended her congratulations to the graduates on completing their academic journeys and reaching this stage of personal growth. She shared that although their learning journey at the Faculty of International Education might come to an end, the Faculty's doors would always remain open to welcome them back, whatever positions they might hold or wherever life might take them.

She also expressed her confidence in the graduates and offered her best wishes for their future journeys, hoping that their years at FTU would always remain a cherished memory and provide them with the motivation to confidently pursue new goals.

Associate Professor Dr Pham Thu Huong, President of Foreign Trade University, also congratulated the graduates and expressed her pride in the journeys of knowledge they had undertaken.

The President invited the students to take a quiet moment to express their gratitude to their parents, lecturers and all those who had supported them silently throughout their studies. This touching moment brought warmth and deeper meaning to the ceremony.

The ceremonial turning of the graduation tassels took place amid enthusiastic applause, marking the moment when the students officially became graduates of Foreign Trade University and began a new journey with confidence, resilience and aspirations to reach further.

One of the highlights of the ceremony was the presentation of the Top Graduate awards. These awards recognised the graduates' continuous efforts, dedication to their studies and outstanding academic achievements throughout their programmes.

The 2026 Graduation Ceremony concluded with joy, smiles and memorable moments shared with lecturers, friends and family. For the graduates, this marked the end of one chapter of their academic journey and the beginning of new opportunities. For Foreign Trade University and the Faculty of International Education, the joy also came from witnessing the students' growth, seeing them move forward with confidence and carry with them the values nurtured during their years at the University.

The Faculty of International Education wishes all graduates confidence, resilience and the courage to continue exploring new horizons. Wherever their future journeys may take them, may FTU always remain a place they remember with pride, and may the Faculty of International Education always be a place where they feel welcome.
