“Close to nature, you feel relaxed” – Close to Environmental and Natural Resources Management, you live green, live well!

NTTU – No longer just a trending slogan on social media, “Close to nature, you feel relaxed” has now become a guiding principle for a young generation seeking balance between life, career, and responsibility for the living environment. In the face of climate change, resource depletion, and increasingly severe natural disasters, choosing to pursue a degree in Environmental and Natural Resources Management is not only a socially responsible action, but also a smart career strategy for Gen Z – a generation that loves nature and aspires to make a difference.

World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought: Reviving Land – Securing Our Future
June 17 is designated by the United Nations as the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, aiming to raise global awareness of land degradation and the vital role humans play in restoring natural resources. The 2025 theme – “Restore Land. Unlock Opportunities” – highlights the connection between land protection, sustainable livelihoods, and the future of the next generation.

In Vietnam, although there are no deserts, land degradation is becoming increasingly evident: prolonged droughts in the Central Highlands, saltwater intrusion in the Mekong Delta, erosion, and loss of arable land due to urbanization. In this context, the environmental workforce – especially in the field of Environmental and Natural Resources Management – plays a central role in implementing national programs to respond to climate change, the Net Zero commitment, the Green Growth Strategy, and the UNCCD Convention.

A Smart Career Strategy for Nature-Loving Gen Z
In the era of digital transformation and climate change, Gen Z needs a smart career strategy—one that starts with understanding their own interests and capabilities. Based on John Holland’s RIASEC model, just four steps—from exploring your passion, assessing your fit, choosing the right major, to selecting a reputable university—can help you realize that Environmental and Natural Resources Management is a highly promising path for young people who love nature, enjoy technology, and want to live responsibly with the environment.

Step 1 – What careers am I passionate about?
If you’re fascinated by forests, oceans, and mountains—or passionate about topics such as the environment, climate, natural resources, and green technology—then you’ve already sparked the right direction. Passion is the first foundation that helps you stay committed to your career and find meaning in your daily work.

Step 2 – What careers am I best suited for?
Environmental and Natural Resources Management is an interdisciplinary major that blends natural sciences, technology, social sciences, and policy. This diversity opens up a wide range of career paths—from pollution control, environmental analysis, GIS and resource data management, to climate communication and sustainable development policy. Thanks to this breadth, every student can find a niche that matches their strengths and passions in this promising field.

• If you excel in Physics – Chemistry – Biology, you may find exciting opportunities in environmental technology, pollution treatment, and water–soil–air quality analysis.

• If you enjoy Geography – Social Sciences, you might thrive in areas like climate change, environmental policy, resource governance, and sustainable development.

• If you’re passionate about Information Technology, this field offers a “goldmine” to explore GIS (Geographic Information Systems), ecological modeling, and environmental data analysis—skills that are in high demand in today’s digital era.

NTTU Connects Students with Real Industry Experience

At Nguyen Tat Thanh University (NTTU), the Environmental and Natural Resources Management program offers a variety of flexible admission combinations to match students’ diverse academic strengths, including A00 (Math – Physics – Chemistry), B00 (Math – Chemistry – Biology), D01 (Math – Literature – English), and C02 (Literature – Math – Chemistry). In particular, the Information Technology and Environmental Data specialization also accepts A01 (Math – Physics – English), making it an ideal choice for tech-savvy students interested in digital environmental fields and green artificial intelligence.

Step 3 – What career should I choose?
Choosing a career is not only about personal interest—it also requires self-awareness and a clear understanding of future career prospects. This is where emotional intelligence (EQ) plays an important role. Those with high EQ tend to show empathy and care for the community, nature, and social issues—qualities well-suited for a career in Environmental and Natural Resources Management. If you care about quality of life, love nature, and aspire to contribute to positive change, this could be the right path for you.
