Tightening the entrance requirements, only 8 math points are required to study semiconductor microchips

This standard applies to universities participating in the Government's program "Developing human resources for the semiconductor industry to 2030, with a vision to 2050".

Candidates who want to study bachelor's or engineering programs in semiconductor microchips, 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 microchip 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 university major and transferring to semiconductor microchip major 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.

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, specifically as follows:

At the second seminar on providing comments on the draft training program for undergraduate and master's degrees in semiconductor microchips held at Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry at the end of February, Professor Chu Duc Trinh - Principal of the University of Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Chairman of the Advisory Council for developing training program standards for university education levels in semiconductor microchips - shared very strict regulations in semiconductor microchip training.

Training needs to ensure high-quality human resources and long-term in-depth thinking, avoiding short-term, "quick-fix" training.

In addition to the math score requirement above, English language requirements are also emphasized.

According to Professor Trinh, studying this major will give you global knowledge and global work, so you need to be good at English.

For students transferring from other majors, English proficiency must reach 3/6 (B1) according to the 6-level foreign language proficiency framework. For the level 7 engineering program, it is 4/6 (B2).

The program standards also require higher teaching staff; the amount of experimental practice and practical experience is at least 25-30% of the total credits.

"This could be a barrier for schools when participating in training in this industry, it is not easy for schools to participate in training," said Professor Chu Duc Trinh.
