On May 23, 2026, to assess students' academic readiness and research direction before starting their thesis, the Postgraduate Studies Department of Dong Nai Technology University held detailed thesis proposal defense sessions for graduate students of Economic Management Cohort 11 and English Language Cohort 5.

This is an important academic activity in the Master's training program, helping students review and refine their research direction before officially entering the thesis implementation stage.

Many Topics Connected to Practice and Current Development Needs

At the defense, students presented their research content, the urgency of their topic, objectives, research questions, methodology, and the expected contributions of their thesis to the committee.

Topics in Economic Management focused on many current and applied issues such as state management, local economic development, improving business performance, human resource management, digital transformation, and sustainable development.

Meanwhile, English Language students chose to research topics related to English teaching methods, applied linguistics, language skills development, intercultural communication, and solutions to improve foreign language training quality in the context of international integration.

The English Language defense committee session was also lively and meaningful.

Committee Feedback to Refine the Research Direction

With a spirit of serious and responsible work, committee members took time to discuss, critique, and provide professional feedback on each topic.

In addition to assessing the novelty, scientific rigor, and feasibility of the research, the committee also offered feedback to help students refine their thesis proposals, focusing on:

• Adjusting the topic title to be more specific, clear, and appropriate to the research scope;
• Refining the research objectives, questions, and hypotheses;
• Supplementing the theoretical basis and related studies;
• Selecting research methods appropriate to the survey subjects;
• More clearly defining the applicability and practical value of the research results;
• Adjusting the research scope to ensure feasibility during thesis implementation.

The committee's feedback not only helped students improve the quality of their proposals but also helped develop rigorous scientific research thinking, enabling them to approach issues more systematically and in greater depth.

An Important Milestone on the Research Journey

The detailed thesis proposal defense is a necessary preparatory step before students officially begin their research. It is also an opportunity for students to receive academic critique from experts, thereby refining their research direction and improving the quality of their thesis going forward.

The active participation of students together with the committee's professional feedback created a rigorous academic atmosphere, helping to affirm the quality of postgraduate training at Dong Nai Technology University.

In the coming time, students will continue to refine their proposals based on the committee's feedback and carry out their research under the guidance of their supervisors, aiming to produce research works of high scientific value and practical significance.

Once again, congratulations to the students of Economic Management Cohort 11 and English Language Cohort 5 for successfully completing their detailed thesis proposal defense, and best wishes as they continue steadily on their journey of research and knowledge development.
