Recruiters selectively test potential employees in search of the most skilled qualified software engineers, despite the overwhelming demand for qualified staff in the age of Information Technology. DTU graduates majoring in Information Technology are guaranteed employment immediately and, meanwhile, the university has been continually upgrading the quality of its facilities, programs and lecturers. DTU also partners with local companies to offer internships and, recently, DTU’s Software Engineering and Information Security courses have caught the attention of many likely candidates.
DTU students of Information Technology
100% employment rate on graduation
New graduates can earn anywhere from 12 to 30 million dong per month. Companies are prepared to offer this range of salaries but still cannot hire nearly enough qualified employees to satisfy their current needs.
DTU candidates are eager to study Information Technology
Over the past few years, as a result of DTU’s rising reputation, all Software Engineering graduates specializing in Software Engineering; CMU International-Standard Software Engineering; and Multimedia & Game Design, and all DTU CMU International-Standard Network Security graduates secured jobs immediately. DTU also works with many local companies to arrange internships, including FPT Software; MGM; BAP; CodeComplete; Enclave; LogiGear; Axon Active; LG, DAC Tech; Sun; Viettel; VNPT-IT; TMA; KMS; Global Cybersoft; RikkeiSoft; Saigon Technology Solutions; Data House; and VnCert, who may then recruit promising students to work for them officially, even prior to graduation.
For several years, DTU has also graduated many highly skilled workers into Network Administration and Information Security jobs. Most of the Information Security graduates become professional penetration tester in major businesses nationwide, including VNCERT; VNPT Security; the Danang ICT Infrastructure Development Center in the Danang Department of Information and Communications; the Gia Lai Department of Information and Communications; VIB International Bank HCMC; FPT Software HCMC; and FPT Software Danang.
Ngo Viet Hoang majored in Software Engineering and is now working at Google in the US, Nguyen Thi Duong Truc majored in Management Information Systems and is working at FPT Software as a Software Tester, and Do Bao Linh, who majored in Software Engineering, at NTT-Data.
DTU is developing internationally standardized programs to satisfy the demands of the IT industry
To meet this challenge, DTU has worked on improving the quality of Software Engineering and Information Security education. Since 2008, DTU has collaborated with Carnegie Mellon University, one of the leading IT universities in the US, to share international curricula. DTU uses the CDIO (Conceive; Design; Implement; Operate) teaching method, which has been implemented by universities worldwide to encourage students to take a greater interest in their majors, study more actively and learn more thoroughly.
Highly configured internet computers
MSc. Nguyen Kim Tuan, Dean of the DTU Faculty of Communication and Computer Network Engineering stated: “From the very first year, students learn the basics of Network Engineering or Cyber Security and can practice on the Open-lab system at DTU, which was built according to IBM standards and resembles the real world. Actual exercises in cybersecurity threats are used and explained by expert lecturers.”
DTU has invested in the most modern labs and facilities so that students can come to grips with the latest developments of the 4.0 era. They receive constant support in their research projects from lecturers with PhD and Master’s degrees from universities around the world, who regularly participate in domestic and international training courses to broaden their experience.
Improving skills and gaining real-time experience at local and international competitions
In addition to sharing curricula with universities in the U.S, students compete in academic contests worldwide. Recently, they have been highly successful in Information Security and Cyber Security competitions, with their specialized abilities and flexible attack methods, and have established a strong reputation.
DTU students are usually winners at Cyber Security contests in Vietnam and have succeeded internationally, at the VolgaCTF contest in Russia; the White Hat Grand Contest 11; and the White Hat Grand Prix International Cyber Security Competition. Wins include:
- A comprehensive prize at the “2018 Devfest Hackathon” contest, with the “Community Map” app
- Second prize at the 2018 “IdeaHunter” contest with the “Facebook Fanpage Management” app
- Second prize at the 2020 “HackPack CTF” online contest, held by North Carolina State University, with 400 teams competing
- Fourth prize at the 2020 “Codefest CTF” online contest, held by the Banaras Hindu University in India, with 300 teams
- In 2018, in the CTF Time rankings, DTU Cyber Security team came first in Vietnam and 61 worldwide
-
In 2021-2022, DTU awards scholarships to Software Engineering and Information Security applicants
- 700 scholarships worth from 500,000 to 2 million dong each for students with total high school scores of 22 or higher, including Software Engineering and Information Security applicants
- 720 High school graduation scores (HSGS) scholarships worth from one to five million dong each for students with scores from three to ten points higher than the minimum admission requirements, including Software Engineering and Information Security applicants
- 70%, 50%, or 30% tuition fee discounts for applicants who won first, second or third prizes respectively in city-level or provincial contests or at science and technology fairs organized by the Ministry of Education and Training
