The Graduate School

The DTU Graduate School was established in May 2009 to advise the Board on planning and building regulations and guidelines for implementing graduate studies. It is responsible for developing and implementing the organization and the management of the postgraduate programs.

Currently there are 6 permanent managers and 42 faculty in Graduate School. All the lecturers have Doctorates and Associate Professorships, many of whom recently graduated with doctoral degrees in the USA, Germany, Canada and Japan.

Focal point of the education quality and the differences:

- The quality of education at DTU is focused on many factors but the curricula and teaching staff are the most prominent. The Master's program in Computer Science is based on the CMU program and those in Business Administration and Accounting are developed from the original programs of CMU, PSU and Seattle University. Four to five courses are taught by American professors who provide the latest international information and students are then certified by the partner universities. The other courses are taught DTU lecturers and visiting lecturers from the Financial Institute, the Polytechnic University of Hanoi, Hanoi National University, the HCMC University of Natural Science, Danang University and Hue University. Student will study for 9 credits in English, 3 more compared to other universities.

- Students participate in fact-finding field trips to businesses and in extra-curricular charitable or tourism activities. The new "Study Tour" module has recently attracted great interest. All students will meet and work with graduate students from the USA. Recently, DTU has organized study and cultural tours to Asian countries to broaden their knowledge and practical experience.

- Flexible tuition times are also considered as a DTU strength. Study scheduled in the evenings and on weekends is beneficial, especially for students who live in Danang.  The individual modules are normally completed in one year, and students defend their theses on completion of their second year.

- The Vista Electronic Library system links students to research data worldwide.
