The 29-year challenging yet brilliant journey of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) has passed. Looking back, HUTECH has achieved significant milestones and established its position as one of the leading institutions in the local as well as regional education systems.
In the cheerful atmosphere celebrating HUTECH’s 29th anniversary, let’s reflect on the journey of "steady development - rising integration."
Multi-disciplinary, multi-level training models are highly applicable to the worldwide approach
HUTECH was founded 29 years ago as a private university under decisions No. 235/TTg issued by the Prime Minister of Vietnam on April 26th, 1995. On June 24th, 1995, HUTECH was officially operated and recruited the first undergraduate course for the academic year 1995-96 (according to Decision No. 2128/GD-ĐT of the Ministry of Education & Training).
HUTECH has constantly expanded the scope of applicable training in a multi-disciplinary, multi-level orientation
HUTECH has steadily expanded its area of training over the last 29 years from just three majors in the beginning: Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications, and Foreign Language. Ultimately, HUTECH became a multi-disciplinary training university with 63 official undergraduate programs, 16 master’s graduate programs, and three doctoral programs.
With the focus on highly applicable curriculums, HUTECH is one of the pioneers in adopting University-Industry collaboration strategy, which contributed to filling the gap between supply and demand in human resource training and improving the percentage of employed students after graduation to over 95%.
International standardized quality opens up potential career prospects in the global market for learners
With the aim of internationalized quality, HUTECH has been cooperating with prestigious global universities from developed countries such as the United States, France, Denmark, Germany, Japan and Korea to provide students with education opportunities that prepared them for the future.
