Since 2024, the programme has introduced two specialization tracks: Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (AI and IoT), addressing the growing global demand for advanced ICT expertise.<\/p>\n<p>Students receive enhanced French-language training and may pursue international study pathways through 4+1 or 4+2 articulation models. After completing the four-year bachelor\u2019s programme at HUST, qualified students can continue their studies at partner institutions in France, such as Grenoble INP &#8211; ENSIMAG (UGA) or Clermont Auvergne INP \u2013 ISIMA (UCA), leading to Master\u2019s or Engineering degrees from France. These pathways open broad opportunities for further study and careers in Europe and other developed economies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Scholarships and Learning Support<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In addition to financial aid from HUST, high-achieving students may receive talent scholarships or sponsorship from major corporations such as Microsoft, Samsung, Vingroup, and VNPT. Students with strong academic performance may also work as Teaching Assistants (TA) or Research Assistants (RA) in laboratories of the School of Information and Communication Technology, gaining valuable research and teaching experience.<\/p>\n<p>Students also have opportunities to pursue Master\u2019s degrees with financial support from the university and industry partners.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>International Exchange and Internships<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Beyond articulation opportunities with Grenoble INP &#8211; ENSIMAG (UGA) or Clermont Auvergne INP \u2013 ISIMA (UCA), students may participate in international exchange and internship programmes at leading institutions such as OTH Regensburg (Germany), NTU, NUS, I\u00b2R (Singapore), Uppsala University (Sweden), University of Aizu, and Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan).<\/p>\n<p>Students can also intern with more than 200 partner companies, including many global technology firms operating in Vietnam, enabling early exposure to real-world industry environments. In addition, HUST alumni networks in France and Silicon Valley actively support mentoring, internships, and career connections with leading technology companies.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Programme Structure<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The programme offers several academic pathways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bachelor\u2019s degree: 4 years<\/li>\n<li>Bachelor\u2013Engineer pathway: 4 + 1.5 or 4 + 2 years<\/li>\n<li>Bachelor\u2013Master pathway: 4 + 1 or 4 + 1.5 or 4 + 2 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After completing the bachelor\u2019s degree, students may continue their studies at HUST or transfer to French partner universities for engineering or master\u2019s programmes. Graduates also have opportunities to pursue postgraduate or doctoral studies worldwide, including Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Curriculum<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The curriculum follows international standards, balancing theoretical knowledge with extensive laboratory practice. Students develop a strong foundation in programming, software engineering, computer networks, databases, and computer architecture, alongside advanced knowledge in AI-enabled software systems.<\/p>\n<p>The programme also emphasizes professional skills such as communication, teamwork, and leadership, as well as the ability to use French effectively in professional environments.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Career Opportunities<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Graduates may pursue careers in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Software and system development in technology companies and system integration firms<\/li>\n<li>Research and development (R&amp;D) in areas such as AI, big data, and intelligent systems<\/li>\n<li>Technology companies in Vietnam targeting international markets, benefiting from strong technical and foreign-language skills<\/li>\n<li>Global technology companies in Europe, Francophone countries, or Silicon Valley, supported by partner institutions and alumni networks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ELITECH PROGRAM VIETNAM-FRANCE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY &nbsp; ADMISSION CODE:\u00a0IT-EP ADMISSION SUBJECT COMBINATIONS Talent-based admission National High School Graduation Examination: A00, A01, D29, K01 Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA): K00 ADMISSION QUOTA 40 students PREVIOUS ADMISSION SCORES Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) 69.67 (2023) 70.66 (2024) 71.83 (2025) The Vietnam\u2013France Information Technology Programme (IT-EP) is built on the long-standing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":18344,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[223,17,228],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
