EDUCATION PROGRAM
COMPUTER ENGINEERING
The undergraduate programs in Computer Engineering aim to provide high-quality graduates in three main categories: embedded systems and IoT, data communication and computer networks, and information security. Computer Engineering graduates can be computer and data communications system engineers, IoT systems developers, IoT and data communications solutions designers, and systems security solution and development specialists. Graduates from our programs possess core professional knowledge. They can apply in-depth knowledge to analyze, design, build and develop IoT system solutions, communications system solutions, services, and information security solutions.
SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES AND STUDY SUPPORT
Scholarships and financial aids
Scholarships from the HUST fund, alumni fund, and corporate sponsors are available for students with financial needs and with outstanding academic performance. In addition, students with good teaching and research skills can be hired part-time as teaching assistants or research assistants. In the integrated bachelor-master program, students also have the opportunity to receive tuition waiver scholarships from HUST and scholarships from corporate sponsors to support research activities.
Student exchange scholarships and internship opportunities
With the help of more than 200 partner companies, students will be provided the chance to work as interns to gain experience in a real working environment during the last 2 years of the undergraduate program. Students also have the opportunity to participate in exchange programs provided by HUST/SoICT and its partner universities.
