During the event, Do Ngoc Kim Ngan - Freshman in the Faculty of English Language, shared her dream of studying abroad and the opportunity to attend the UK Bachelor’s Program of the University of Gloucestershire which is the joint program between UEF and the University of Gloucestershire (UK).

In the end, she showed her gratitude to lecturers who were always dedicated to students even when teaching online classes and wished UEFers all a successful academic year.
