Career opportunities in Computer Science

Computer science is known as the field of study that studies the theoretical basis of information, computation and its application in computer systems. At the same time, they will use algorithms to solve problems. From there, they will create effective ways to communicate and manage information.

When entering this industry, you must regularly update technology trends to apply to daily work and regularly invest time to think and propose new ideas for products and services.

In return for the high demands and work pressure, Computer Science is a field of study with many job opportunities for passionate and capable individuals. You can work as a programmer in schools, institutes, software companies, or work in telecommunications, banking, and IT centers of companies.

In the list of 12 university-level training majors with high human resource demand announced by the Ministry of Education and Training in 2022, there is also the appearance of the Computer - Information Technology major. In Vietnam, in the past 10 years, the demand for human resources in Computer Science and Information Technology has increased 4 times and shows no signs of stopping.

In addition, 98% of computer science engineers have jobs within 1 year of graduation with a common salary of about 10 - 15 million/month. Experienced experts can receive a salary of up to 162,000 USD (about 3.7 billion VND) per year, equivalent to 13,500 USD (about 312 million VND) per month.

In particular, high-quality Computer Science engineers oriented to the Japanese market have the opportunity to work in Japan with more competitive salaries.
