“The journey of learning never ends – and you are beginning from a place that can take you to any horizon.”
May – when the crimson blossoms of flamboyant trees signal the arrival of summer – is also the time when a new chapter begins at Saigon Business School (SBS). In a warm and solemn atmosphere, the Opening Ceremony for the May Intake was held to welcome new students from various countries such as Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, and more – all joining the international academic community at SBS.
A New Beginning, A Connected Community
Our new students are ready to embark on their academic journey, make global friendships, and explore a dynamic, multicultural learning environment here in Vietnam. With a three-trimester academic system, SBS allows students to take charge of their learning year-round — and while summer is often seen as a vacation period, at SBS, it’s a season of momentum and breakthroughs.
Words from Mr. Hoàng Văn Cương – CEO of SBS
In his opening remarks, Mr. Hoàng Văn Cương delivered an inspiring message to all students:
“When people think of summer, they often think of the beach, vacation, and relaxation. But at SBS, summer is an official academic term – where you begin your first classes and open a new chapter of your learning journey. Education doesn’t stop at the age of 20, and it certainly doesn’t end with a diploma.”
The ceremony was also an opportunity for the school to recognize students with outstanding academic performance – shining examples of perseverance, resilience, and excellence in an international learning environment.
Mr. Cương emphasized the importance of lifelong learning and shared a moving story:
“Let me introduce Ms. Nguyễn Thị Thùy Mỵ – a very special new student at SBS. After many years of running businesses, starting companies, and raising her children, she made the bold decision to return to school and pursue another bachelor’s degree. She is living proof that education has no age limit – only the limits we place on ourselves.”
The journey of learning knows no borders.
At SBS, students are guided not just to earn a degree, but to grow in mindset, skills, and global vision. You are encouraged to join transfer programs to destinations like Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, the US, and more – with full support from a dedicated team of lecturers and mentors who are committed to your success. SBS offers an environment of connection, encouragement, and collective development. Mr. Cương added:
“As international students, you may face various challenges – from visas and housing to adapting to a new lifestyle. But at SBS, we are one family. Your difficulties are our difficulties. And together, we will overcome them and grow stronger.”
Vietnam – Your Second Home, SBS – Where Great Things Begin
The opening ceremony concluded in a joyful and festive spirit. But this is just the beginning. SBS firmly believes that each student will grow stronger not only academically, but also in mindset, character, and connection to the world.
Once again, welcome to SBS – where your dreams begin, and your path leads to the world’s top 1% universities. 🌟
