Abstract
Political resilience plays a crucial role in preparing university students to become responsible citizens capable of responding to the challenges of globalization, digital transformation, and the increasingly complex information environment. This study aims to assess the current status of political resilience among students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade (HUIT), Vietnam, and to propose practical strategies for its enhancement. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining qualitative document analysis with a quantitative survey of 100 undergraduate students. Political resilience was examined through four dimensions: political stance, political qualities, political competence, and political courage. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed that students generally demonstrated a high level of political resilience. Political stance received the highest evaluation, reflecting students' confidence in the country's development orientation and their awareness of civic responsibility. Political qualities and political courage were also positively evaluated, whereas political competence obtained comparatively lower scores, indicating the need to strengthen students' critical thinking, policy communication, and the practical application of political knowledge. The findings suggest that universities should modernize political education by integrating ideological education with experiential learning, digital literacy, civic engagement, and professional ethics. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on political resilience in Vietnamese higher education and offers practical implications for improving political education in universities.
