They belong to the field of academics, skills, culture, arts, sports,…New students can choose more than one club, team, or group to join so that they may develop their strengths, soft skills and socialize with those who have the same passion and talent; last but not least, they can relax after stressful classes.
Some outstanding clubs and groups at school level include: Social Work Team, Event Club, “Blue Backpack Skills” club, SOL club, Football club, Volleyball club, Badminton club, Chess club,…Each faculty has at least one academic club for students to exchange knowledge, participate in extracurricular activities, and practice foreign language. At the beginning of each school year, these clubs, teams and groups all recruit new members.
Since 2017, the Student Union has held the Club's Day- which is the Festival of Clubs. This is the opportunity for freshmen to integrate into the training environment, socialize with students of previous course, and seek for the "small house" for the extra activities.
The Social Work Club is preparing to prepare Mid-Autumn lanterns in the 6th “Mid-Autumn Festival for Children” for An Giang children - a traditional program of the club.
The Blue Backpack Skills Club- a club specializing in skills training for students - welcomes new members in 2018.
