An AI-focused Master's in Information Technology (IT) program offers more than just technical knowledge.
Systematically improve AI knowledge
Postgraduate programs allow students to delve deeper into complex concepts, providing a comprehensive and in-depth view of AI technology. Mr. Doan Xuan Huy Minh, Director of the Master of Software Engineering with AI (MSE AI) program at FSB Institute of Management & Technology ( FPT Corporation), emphasized: “AI-oriented programs such as MSE AI at FPT can equip students with the knowledge and skills to exploit and use data, creating effective AI products.”
These programs provide fundamental and in-depth knowledge of AI, covering topics from basic to advanced such as: Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning, Data Mining, AI in Production (DevOps, DataOps, MLOps), Big Data. At the same time, students develop practical skills such as designing, deploying and optimizing AI models to apply to real-life problems in businesses.
Mr. Minh also emphasized that programs like MSE AI will train IT masters who can create AI tools and exploit existing data of enterprises. They can take on positions as AI experts, software developers, data analysts, or technology project managers.
As the job market becomes increasingly competitive, having specialized knowledge will give candidates a significant advantage when looking for a job, opening up many opportunities for development.
Equip with skills to manage and implement technology projects
Many programmers choose to study for a Master's degree with the desire to go beyond a purely technical role, deeply understand business problems to orient and lead the team to catch up with new technology trends such as AI.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Chung, CEO of VietPlatform - a technology startup - is a testament to this. He chose to study MSE AI at FPT with the desire to not only improve his technical knowledge to build products, but also to update technology trends and have the right development strategy. "Being good at coding is not enough when you want to lead a team, understand the big problems of the technology market and of your own business, " Mr. Chung confided.
Also choosing to study MSE AI like Mr. Chung, Mr. Pham The Phong, Software Engineer at NashTech Vietnam, equipped himself with project management skills to lead the team successfully as a team leader. Mr. Phong shared: "For me, as a technology person, working with people is very difficult. Thanks to the Advanced Project Management course in the MSE AI program, I have a new perspective, know how to apply the Agile framework to management and help the team complete the first phase of the project on schedule."
AI-oriented IT Master’s programs not only focus on pure engineering but also train analytical skills, project management and communication skills with non-technical stakeholders. This is an extremely important factor for technology personnel to ensure that the operation and implementation of technology projects are carried out effectively and professionally.
Advanced degrees and many opportunities for development
Possessing in-depth knowledge of AI and a practical skill set is a solid foundation for many attractive job opportunities in AI and data science with desirable salaries. In Vietnam, according to the report "Vietnam IT Market 2024–2025"[1] by TopDev, the salary of an AI engineer ranges from 1,110 to 2,060 USD/month (about 27–50 million VND), depending on experience and skills. For Big Data and Machine Learning Engineer positions, the salary can reach from 1,210 to 2,380 USD/month (about 30–58.5 million VND).
AI-oriented IT Masters can also work for international companies or join the global startup ecosystem with attractive salaries. For example, in the US, according to Glassdoor, the average annual salary of an AI Engineer is $158,661, with an estimated total annual income of $258,504. With the global market increasingly favoring the remote working model, many Vietnamese engineers are also taking advantage of their postgraduate degrees to convince international employers.
The MSE AI program is enrolling students in Hanoi , Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and Can Tho with scholarships up to 30% of tuition fees. Program details are available at the MSE AI program or hotline: 090.459.5577.
