Welcome to VNNTU!

First established in the academic year 1999-2000 with only 50 members, the Vietnamese Students’ Society in Nanyang Technological University (or VNNTU) with full support from the Students’ Union (NTUSU) and Student Affairs Office (SAO) has now expanded to include more than 500 pursuing courses at NTU until now. VNNTU is also the only representation of Vietnamese students to join annual events held by NTU, such as International Cultural & Travel Festival (ICTF) and International Games (IG – an annual event initiated by Vietnamese students in 2006). These various activities have paid a very important role in cementing solidarity among all university fellows as well as creating highly valuable opportunities to boost up Vietnamese national cultural characters and the images of Viet Nam to international friends.

Having successfully organized yearly events honouring the national tradition as National Day 2^nd September, Lunar New Year celebration in common with providing first-hand essential experiences in terms of adapting the new environment to freshmen via Freshmen Orientation Camp, VNNTU has become the real cosy house for every Vietnamese studying in NTU. Among the very diversified annual activities, Project V is known as the most illustrious remarkable one. Raised in 2008 by Ms Tran Hang Tam (student of School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, NTU) for the purpose of forming a musical playing field for all Vietnamese students in NTU, Project V was once again taken place in 2009 with a much larger scale and influence. From solely entertainment based to completely professional one, this singing contest has been the biggest gathering inside Vietnamese Community in Singapore, attracted attention and participation of more than 60 contestants in Audition round, 700 audiences in FinaleV night from NTU, NUS, SMU and others schools in Singapore. Proceeds from tickets were donated to The Golden Heart Foundation, Labour Newspaper for charity aim.

Not only showing enthusiasm and cultivation in plentiful collective events, VNNTU members always try the best to achieve such remarkable success in either academic workload or extra-curriculum activities. Mr. Vuong Ba Quy, Computer Engineering Student (2003-2007) was presented 1^st prize in Vietnamese Intelligence competition with his Final Year Project. BaX Team participated in ACM ICPC WORLD FINALS 2008 and won the 3^rd Asia. Mr. Tran Hai Linh, Nanyang Business School Student (2002-2005) used to be Country General Manager, Vietnam Representative Office Lenovo (Singapore) Pte Ltd. Ms. Tran Hang Tam, Economics Student (2004-2008), the founder of Project V, used to be director assistant Vinhson JSC (Vietnam) and is currently pursuing MSc Economics at University of Bonn, Germany. Mr. Dang Hoang Vu, Media and IT Executive, NTU Students’ Union 18^th Main Committee and Ms. Nguyen Phuong Minh, Vice-president of Red Cross (2008-2009) are also two out-standing individuals among the community. They all contributed to made the honour and pride for Vietnamese students in NTU.
