Welcome to FFL

The Faculty of Foreign Languages was founded in September 1990. It is dedicated to the ideals of “OPEN LEARNING”

Open learning ideals are as follows:

• Learning is open to all.
• Learning is a lifelong process.
• Learning is built on existing skills and knowledge.
• Learning is cooperative and that learners enjoy the benefits of cooperation among educational institutions, including sharing faculty, instructional material and collaborative program planning.
• Learning can be achieved through distance education.
• Learning is learner - centered rather than institution - centered or teacher - centered.

The Faculty of Foreign Languages offers BA curricula in English, Chinese and Japanese. The degree program will equip students with language (English, Chinese and Japanese) knowledge and proficiency along with the necessary cross-cultural awareness to promote cultural assimilation into the target professional and business fields.

As participants in the program, students are trained in their morality and a spirit of self-study for their self- perfection and social integration. Students will practice their skills by using modern learning technologies in language training through their active participation in classes, university clubs, and through their undertaking original research work in their chosen area of interest. In addition, students are equipped with skills of office work, theories and practice of language teaching for high schools and language centers, general knowledge and skills in translation and interpretation in commerce, tourism, account­ing and office work.They are also trained with a third language such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, English, Spanish or French.

Graduates from the Faculty of Foreign Languages of HCM City Open University can pursue their career in education, in diplomatic field domestically or abroad, in international or joint-venture companies. Excellent graduates receive guidance and encouragement if they wish to go on for postgraduate studies.
