Choose the right major, lead the future
On the morning of July 15,Education and Times Newspaper organized an online admissions consultation session with the theme "Learning technology - Mastering the game".
The program provides the latest information on technology majors, practical training models - bridging and skills learners need to prepare to not be "left behind" in the era of AI, big data and innovation.
In a context where technology is changing every field, from education to finance, manufacturing to media, choosing a major is no longer just a matter of temporary interest, but requires self-understanding, long-term orientation and interdisciplinary thinking.
Nowadays, majors combining technology and economics are increasingly becoming the strategic choice of many young people.
At the University of Finance - Marketing, the training orientation integrates both technological thinking capacity and Finance - Marketing understanding, to help students adapt quickly to the modern labor market.
According to MSc. Nguyen Thi Kim Phung - Deputy Head of Admissions and Corporate Relations Department, University of Finance - Marketing, young people who possess both of these groups of abilities will have a superior competitive advantage in their career development journey.
"First, understanding technology helps learners adapt quickly to digital platforms, effectively exploit data, automate workflows and apply new tools such as AI, blockchain, Big Data in business operations. This is an essential capacity in all modern professions.
Second, financial and marketing thinking provides the ability to perceive the market, analyze consumer behavior, plan business strategies and optimize resources. When combined with a technology platform, young people can make quick, accurate and innovative decisions...", said Master Phung.
Not only does it help students become valuable candidates in the eyes of businesses, the combination of technology and economics also opens doors for those who want to start a business and develop new business models in the digital age.
According to MSc. Phung, the University of Finance and Marketing actively adjusts its training programs, updates market trends and feedback from businesses, to ensure that graduates can meet the requirements of society in the period of comprehensive digital transformation.
Besides, digital transformation not only creates new tools, but also requires learners to change their approach to knowledge, from passive to active, from learning to know to learning to master.
With that orientation, Ho Chi Minh City Open University has built an "Open" educational philosophy - not only in terms of learning methods but also in training thinking.
MSc. Duong Nhat Linh - Lecturer of the Faculty of Biotechnology, Ho Chi Minh City Open University said that students can proactively choose subjects, adjust their progress, and choose learning methods suitable to their abilities and circumstances. Lecturers not only impart knowledge but also accompany and support each person in personalizing their learning journey.
To do that, Ho Chi Minh City Open University has invested heavily in digital learning materials, E-learning platforms, open libraries, labs, studios and interdisciplinary technology workshops, creating a flexible and creative learning space.
"Currently, the Faculty of Information Technology has a total of 9 practice rooms, ensuring effective service for technical, practical and project subjects. In addition, the faculty also owns an artificial intelligence laboratory with a powerful computer configuration, specializing in serving scientific research activities, especially projects related to artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data processing...", said MSc. Linh.
The female lecturer added that with the Construction Engineering Technology major, students practice in laboratories of structures, geodesy, geotechnics, construction materials, and fluid mechanics with full equipment for measuring and simulating construction.
The Biotechnology and Food Technology sector currently has a system of 10 modern, synchronously invested laboratories and a greenhouse for research and experimentation.
"Taking advantage of modern lab resources, the Faculty of Biotechnology strives and continues to develop applied research, create practical products and cooperate with businesses to transfer technology.
In particular, the practice rooms are all arranged in an application-oriented, interdisciplinary manner, helping students to both study theory, implement projects and get acquainted with the real working environment right from school," said MSc. Linh.
Real-world experience, career mastery
One of the key factors for students to master their careers is learning combined with practice, where knowledge is transformed into skills through practical experience.
According to MSc. Le Thi Bich Thao - Vice Principal of Dai Viet Saigon College, at the school, practice time accounts for more than 70% of the program. Vocational training does not stop at theory, but is a real training process, where students can "do real work, make real mistakes, and correct real mistakes".
" Each practical subject has specific output standards, a clear skills plan and on-site guidance from lecturers. When doing internships at businesses, students continue to receive feedback and support to supplement their professional skills in accordance with actual requirements," shared MSc. Le Thi Bich Thao.
The Vice Principal of Dai Viet Saigon College said that the unit is the first school to sign a commitment to 100% employment for students after graduation. The school has built and maintained strategic cooperative relationships with more than 100 large domestic and foreign enterprises and corporations.
"The company is committed to accepting interns, creating conditions for vocational training in a real working environment and giving priority to recruiting graduates who meet competency standards.
The school's degree is a commitment, a promise of outstanding practical training quality. The school is proud that every student holding the school's degree can be confident: "This is the key to open the first door, so that I can start to master my own game," she said.
Meanwhile, at Vietnam-Germany University, students study in a standard German environment with the entire curriculum taught in English, with content transferred from partner schools in Germany and Europe.
Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Anh Tuan - Director of the Center for Transport Research, Vietnam-Germany University said that students here not only have access to modern technical thinking but also practice a disciplined, practical and innovative working style, typical of German industry.
Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Anh Tuan added that in 2025, Dai Viet Duc University will open a new bachelor's program - Mechatronic Engineering.
This major cooperates with the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg (Germany), providing students with open career opportunities, degrees from Vietnam and Germany, and a 100% tuition scholarship in the first year of enrollment in 2025.
The Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (MEC) program has a study duration of 4 years, including 1 year of general studies and 3 years of specialized studies.
The program aims to provide the latest and most modern knowledge, world-class from Germany, creative and balanced between technical contents of Mechanics - Electricity - Electronics - Information Technology.
The program has three main majors: drive dynamics, automotive and aeronautical engineering, and robotics.
In the 4th year, students will have the opportunity to study on exchange and complete their graduation thesis at a partner university, with scholarships funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) or self-funded.
"Students can participate in and master international technology projects to work in transnational project teams and confidently apply for R&D, design engineer, data engineer positions... at global technology companies such as Bosch, Siemens, Intel, BMW, SAP... With the motto of training "global engineers - practical experts", Vietnam-Germany University gradually helps learners not only master technology but also confidently enter the knowledge economy", said Mr. Tuan.
Speakers attending the second 2025 admissions consultation session: "Learning technology - Mastering the game".
The "technology game" is reshaping everything from the economy, society to life. How can learners not only participate, but also "master" this game?
Understanding that, Education and Times Newspaper in collaboration with educational institutions in Ho Chi Minh City organized the second online admissions consulting program "Learning Technology - Mastering the Game", to help students better understand technology majors, new career trends and the necessary luggage to lead in the digital transformation era.
