The latest news from our schoolbit.ly/newsSST

—WELCOME to theSchool of Science & Technology!

Our programs are designed to prepare students for future careers in the international jobs market.

In our information technology and engineering programs, students learn through authentic assignments that address contemporary issues and by using the latest technology.

Our programs are recognised pathways to employment within and outside Vietnam, and they have full or provisional accreditation from professional industry bodies in Australia.

With their technical expertise and highly developed soft skills, our graduates will continue to be in high demand. A recent report by Vietnamworks highlights a surge in opportunities for specialists in advanced technology and engineering (VietnamWorks, Career prospects and skill trends in Vietnam: 2018-2022).

To help Vietnam meet the growing demand for professionals in these fields, we are expanding our program offerings in 2021. The Bachelor of Information Technology will be delivered for the first time in Hanoi.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on campus!

Employability Roadmap

EXPLOREEarly semesters

EXPERIENCEMiddle semesters

ENGAGELate semesters

In the early semesters, core courses are designed with two themes: industry exposure and simulation.These equip you with an overview of the industry and help you to explore your abilities for a suitable career path.

From the first semester, we encourage you to join projects and clubs to develop a sense of belonging to your new environment. Getting involved is a great way to nurture your soft skills naturally and make new friends.

In the middle semesters, industry engagement is the main theme in specialised courses. You will engage with real clients and manage projects to address current business challenges.

From semester 4, you can take on managerial roles through many projects and training programs. You will be encouraged to fulfill your own potential and become a creative leader!
