National Defense and Security Education: Dai Nam University trains citizens who are disciplined, courageous, and responsible to society.

In the journey of training and developing human resources, there are values that cannot be replaced by skills or technology. These are discipline, responsibility, and civic consciousness. At Dai Nam University (DNU), National Defense and Security Education is not just a compulsory course, but a special space for character education, where students learn to live with standards, responsibility, and fortitude towards the community and the country.

Higher education is inseparable from civic responsibility.

A young person enters society not only as a worker, but also as a citizen. This citizen lives within the community, is subject to the law, and contributes to social order and the overall development of the country. Therefore, higher education cannot simply focus on vocational training; it must go hand in hand with cultivating civic awareness and social responsibility.

Dai Nam University clearly recognizes this when establishing the position of National Defense and Security Education in its philosophy of human resource training. This is not just a course "to fulfill the program requirements," but a crucial component that helps students form a foundation of discipline, demeanor, and character – factors that determine long-term growth and maturity.

In modern society, where individuality is increasingly valued, the risk of living without discipline and disrespecting common norms is also growing. National Defense and Security Education at Dai Nam University serves as a strong reminder that individual freedom is only meaningful when placed within the framework of responsibility to the community.

Discipline – the foundation for character and professional conduct.

One of the core values that the National Defense and Security Education program instills in DNU students is discipline. Discipline is not meant to restrict people, but to help them manage themselves, live, and work according to principles.

Through this unique learning environment, students are trained to be serious, punctual, compliant with regulations, work as part of an organization, and prioritize the common good over personal ego. These seemingly basic things are actually crucial foundations for shaping their future professional attitudes.

Dai Nam University understands that while businesses can retrain professional skills, it is very difficult to retrain discipline and attitude. A young person lacking discipline will find it difficult to adapt to any work environment, no matter how good their professional skills are. Therefore, National Defense and Security Education is considered an early and necessary preparation step to help DNU students enter the workforce confidently.

Developing resilience – learning to stand firm within a team and in the face of challenges.

National Defense and Security Education at Dai Nam University does not aim to create "stereotypical" individuals, but rather to cultivate individual character within a collective framework. Students learn to live and work with others, accept differences, and adhere to common principles to achieve collective goals.

In that environment, each individual is challenged both physically and mentally: perseverance, ability to withstand pressure, resilience, and a sense of self-responsibility. These are very real experiences that help students understand that maturity does not come from complacency, but from daring to face challenges and self-discipline.

Dai Nam University believes that a young person with strong character is not someone who has never faced difficulties, but someone who does not abandon their principles when confronted with challenges. National Defense and Security Education is the environment for students to cultivate this character from an early age.

From civic consciousness to responsibility towards the nation.

At a deeper level, National Defense and Security Education contributes to fostering patriotism, a sense of national defense, and responsibility towards the community among students. These are not dogmatic concepts, but rather are conveyed through a correct understanding of civic duty and the role of each individual in the stability and development of the country.

Dai Nam University doesn't focus on empty slogans, but rather on fostering correct awareness and attitudes. When students understand that rights always come with responsibilities, and freedom always goes hand in hand with duty, they will learn to live with limits, standards, and greater depth in their choices.

Therefore, National Defense and Security Education has become an important part of Dai Nam University's goal of training well-rounded individuals – where students are not only equipped with knowledge and skills, but also nurtured in civic spirit and social responsibility.

Educating disciplined individuals – a sustainable choice of Dai Nam University.

In its educational philosophy, Dai Nam University consistently adheres to one viewpoint: a sustainable society is built upon disciplined and responsible individuals. National Defense and Security Education is a clear testament to this choice in university training.

While the Soft Skills Department helps DNU students learn to live and work in a diverse social environment, the National Defense and Security Education program helps them maintain standards, respect discipline, and place themselves in relation to the community and the country.

Dai Nam University does not train students solely for their own personal success, but to become useful citizens who know how to live responsibly towards society, the nation, and their own future. This is the profound humanistic depth and also the unique difference in Dai Nam University's philosophy of human education.
