That is the concern of students sent to the representative of the Ministry of Education and Training about the entrance standards for semiconductor microchip industry, at the Admissions Day for science and technology majors at the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, organized by Tien Phong newspaper on the morning of May 18.
Mr. Nguyen Anh Dung - Deputy Director of the Department of Higher Education - said that the ministry has just issued training program standards on semiconductor microchips at undergraduate and master's levels.
According to him, to build the program foundation, the professional advisory board realized that the basic knowledge students need to have to study well in semiconductor microchips and STEM is especially related to math knowledge.
"Later, students will use math knowledge a lot in their studies and work related to the semiconductor microchip field," said Mr. Dung.
He added that when surveying the learning outcomes of high school students, as well as evaluating the learning outcomes of current students who have entered engineering and technology majors related to semiconductor microchips, it shows that students need a certain level of mathematical foundation.
"The survey shows that students with a math score of about 8 points can perform well in their studies. That's why the advisory board proposed an entrance standard of 8 points or higher for math," he said.

According to him, the training program standards on semiconductor microchips only apply to schools participating in the project on Human Resource Development for the Semiconductor Microchip Industry according to Decision 1017 of the Prime Minister. For schools that do not participate and are not required to follow the above standards, they can recruit students according to different regulations.
Prof. Dr. Dinh Thi Mai Thanh - Principal of Hanoi University of Science and Technology - said that semiconductor microchips have 3 stages: design, manufacturing and packaging. In the first stage, mathematics will be the basis.
According to Ms. Thanh, many people studying information technology have also registered for the semiconductor microchip industry to study design. "Besides math, the second key to the semiconductor microchip industry is physics. Students need to be well equipped with physics knowledge to do well in the field of study," Ms. Thanh said.
In September 2024, the Government approved the program for Human Resource Development in the Semiconductor Industry to 2030, with a vision to 2050, which sets the goal that by 2030, training facilities will have at least 50,000 human resources with university degrees or higher.
It is expected that 18 public universities will be given priority to consider investing in basic semiconductor laboratories to serve the training of human resources in the semiconductor industry.
The specific list is as follows:
