The Faculty held a “Humanities Education in Higher Education” seminar

Recognizing this, many universities have developed practical academic programs for aspiring, talented and dedicated journalists, reporters and communications professionals. With hundreds of graduates already, DTU has become a trustworthy destination for avid Social Science enrollees who dream of becoming journalists or starting a career in communications or public relations.

Literature & Journalism: Develop journalistic and reporting skills

Over the past 13 years, the DTU Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences has focused on enhancing the professional skills of Literature & Journalism students and also encouraged them to study Literature and Language to Journalism and Communications subjects independently to become highly qualified professionals on graduation.

The main advantage of studying Literature and Journalism is because DTU uses the international PBL (Problem-Based Learning/Project-Based Learning) method, from which students gain a firm grasp of the creativity and speed now required for reporting on the ever-increasing volume of daily news. At the same time, students also serve as interns at local news publishers and broadcasters.

MSc. Vo Thi Kim Ngan said: “In an age of information explosion, journalism has become an increasingly sought-after major. So far, 90% of DTU Literature & Journalism graduates have been quickly employed. Many of them are working for local newspapers, radio stations and media agencies, including Nguyen Thi Thuan, a reporter at the Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper, Dang Xuan Huy, a broadcaster at the Dien Ban radio station in Quang Nam, Le Hoang Hiep, a reporter at the Danang Newspaper, Nguyen Thanh Hao, an editor at Dien Quan Media & Entertainment and Nguyen Thanh Duc, a reporter for Zing online.”

Multimedia Communications: A golden opportunity in the digital age

Advances in Information Technology and Multimedia Communications have led to a wide variety of exciting new job prospects. Using the latest technology, the Multimedia Technology course teaches the basics of Journalism and the specialized video production, image processing and visual techniques required to create media products for entertainment and advertising. This major has recently become a very popular choice at DTU.

The Faculty has organized new clubs for students to hone their practical skills

After four years, Multimedia Communications students will be able to master a variety of media applications, such as:

- Advertising banners

- Viral video

- Motion pictures

- Web design

- Graphic art

- Applied simulation in medical, industrial and tourism applications and others.

By combining Communications and IT courses, DTU Multimedia Communications students will learn all about the press industry, including radio and television broadcasting, e-journals, advertising, graphic art, film and video production, digital media applications, computer games and how to solve enterprise communications problems.

DTU is the home of the Silver Swallows Studio, IT and Software Engineering centers, the Technology Journal and the Media Center, which offer the ideal study environment and future career prospects.
