Van Lang University currently has 53 clubs, teams, and groups at school level, and 16 clubs, teams and groups at faculty level. 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.
