2026 Admissions: Will Dai Nam University accept applications from candidates in the C00 subject group?

Every admissions season, the question that most preoccupies candidates and parents is not "which school has higher admission scores," but rather: "Will I be able to find a job after graduating from this major?" These concerns are even more pronounced recently, as some universities have adjusted or stopped accepting applications for the C00 subject combination (Literature – History – Geography). Many students with strengths in social sciences and their parents are starting to worry: Is the C00 combination still relevant? Should they continue pursuing it? In this context, the most frequently asked question is: Will Dai Nam University accept applications for the C00 subject combination for the 2026 admissions?

C00 is not "outdated," what matters is the training philosophy.

In reality, adjusting the admission criteria is the autonomous right of each training institution, stemming from the specific requirements of each profession. However, this does not mean that the C00 subject combination has lost its value or is no longer suitable for the development needs of society.

In the context of digital transformation, globalization, and the knowledge economy, society still needs a workforce with a solid foundation in social sciences, critical thinking, communication, language, research, management, and human understanding – core competencies that students in the C00 program possess.

According to Associate Professor Dr. Dao Thi Thu Giang - Rector of Dai Nam University, the issue lies not in the admission combination, but in how universities organize training and take responsibility for the graduates' outcomes: “We shouldn't view the C00 subject combination as a disadvantageous option. The important thing is that universities must have a clear training philosophy, a curriculum linked to practice, and support mechanisms to help students develop their strengths while also equipping them with the necessary skills for the modern labor market.”

Dai Nam University: Continuing the C00 admissions process with a focused and responsible approach.

In response to concerns from candidates and parents, Dai Nam University affirms that in the 2026 admissions process, the university will continue to consider the C00 subject combination for suitable training programs.

The admission process for the C00 group at Dai Nam University is selective, tailored to the specifics of each field of study and the required learning outcomes, rather than being broad and inclusive. The university is committed to respecting the abilities and strengths of its students, while designing training programs that enable them to adapt and thrive sustainably in their professional environment after graduation.

Sharing more about the admissions orientation, Ms. Cao Thi Quynh, Head of Admissions at Dai Nam University, said: “Dai Nam University does not recruit based on trends. For the C00 group, we clearly identify which majors are suitable, which abilities need to be developed, and which skills need to be supplemented. The goal is not only to help candidates get admitted, but also to help them learn, work, and find employment in their specialized field after graduation.”
