Ministry of Education announced 38 semiconductor training majors: Dr. Hoang Ngoc Vinh said...still lacking

Accordingly, there are 38 majors at university level and 37 majors at master's level related to semiconductor microchips, which can participate in training human resources for the semiconductor industry.

The specific list is as follows:

Dr. Hoang Ngoc Vinh, former Director of the Department of Vocational Education ( Ministry of Education and Training ), said that the list of 38 majors related to semiconductor human resource training provided by the Ministry of Education and Training still seems to be lacking.

According to Mr. Vinh, this list only includes core technical fields. The Ministry of Education and Training should add more human resources in other fields to complete the semiconductor industry's supply chain.

Mr. Vinh informed that the training majors for human resources in the semiconductor industry include: Semiconductor packaging and testing techniques; High-tech quality management; High-tech production management (Technology innovation management; High-tech business; Systems Engineering); Semiconductor supply chain and technical logistics (High-tech supply chain management; Automated production operations management); ... but there are no such majors yet.

“In addition, it is possible to add to the list of Labor Safety - Environment - Energy industries (Micro-environmental engineering; Clean room and microelectronics safety; Energy engineering for high-tech factories)” - Mr. Vinh said.

Regarding the entrance standards of the training program, according to regulations, candidates who want to study bachelor's or engineering programs in semiconductor microcircuits, if admitted based on high school graduation exam results, must use a combination of Math and at least one Natural Science subject suitable for the semiconductor microcircuit training program.

The total score of the subjects in the admission combination must reach at least 80% of the scale, for example, at least 24/30 for a combination of three subjects. In addition, the Math score must reach at least 80% of the scale, for example, at least 8/10.

For those who have a university degree, they must have a degree appropriate to the training program they are applying for and have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.8/4 or higher.

For students studying in another major and transferring to semiconductor microchip at the time of consideration, a GPA of 2.5/4 or higher is required.

For master's degree, undergraduate GPA requirement is 2.8/4 or higher.

Regarding the issue of “tightening” the entrance standards for university training to serve the semiconductor industry, Dr. Hoang Ngoc Vinh said it is appropriate. “But it is important to avoid the situation of “a hundred flowers blooming” but lacking lecturers, labs, equipment, finance, and excellent student recruitment sources,” Mr. Vinh stated his opinion.
