Olympia champions diversify educational paths and career locations

Historically, many winners of the Đường lên đỉnh Olympia academic competition have chosen to pursue higher education and careers abroad, particularly in Australia. However, recent trends show a growing diversity in the paths taken by these scholars.

Some champions have returned to Vietnam after years of international study and work. Notable examples include Lương Phương Thảo, who returned to work for international firms in Ho Chi Minh City, Lê Viết Hà, an investment specialist, and Hồ Ngọc Hân, a biotechnology PhD who returned to work at Hue University after researching in London.

Additionally, new scholarship opportunities are expanding options for contestants. While Australia remains a traditional destination, the partnership with the University of Greenwich has introduced the United Kingdom as a significant option. For instance, Trần Trung Kiên, a runner-up in 2024, received a full scholarship to study Computer Science in London.
