Orientation

Orientation helps international students with an easier transition to TDTU campus life and to Vietnamese culture. Through campus tours, many places in TDTU are discovered, and queries about the campus, community, culture, and how to connect with new friends can be solved.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is not covered by the program fees. The purchase of travel insurance before departure to Vietnam that is valid for the entire duration of travel is the responsibility of each participant and is strongly recommended.

International Volunteer Team (IVT)

At TDTU, our International Volunteer Team (IVT) will support international students with both on and off-campus services. As local students, IVT has strong knowledge and understanding about Vietnamese culture and can help you out in any difficulties you may have. They will be your first Vietnamese buddies who facilitate your stay with us and remain in touch with you to develop a global friendship network.
