The Faculty continues to offer three academic programs: Aesthetic Technology, Biotechnology, and Food Technology
Building on the academic foundation developed over many years, the Faculty continues to leverage its strengths in applied education while advancing its research and practical training activities. Students have access to laboratories for microbiology, biotechnology, food technology, sensory analysis, and chemistry, as well as Aesthetic Technology practice facilities equipped with skin analysis systems, laser equipment, and a range of modern technologies.
Practical learning is further expanded through company visits and field trips to Ngoc Dung Beauty Center System, Ho Chi Minh City Biotechnology Center, West Bibica Factory, Yakult Vietnam Factory, and other organizations. Through these experiences, students can directly observe operational processes, technologies, and the specific professional requirements of each field. Internship and career experience programs also enable students to gain practical experience and prepare for employment after graduation.
