Undergraduate

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming virtually every profession. The key question is no longer whether AI will replace people, but whether they are prepared to harness it effectively. At Duy Tan University (DTU), this preparation began early and has been integrated into the learning experience of students across all fields of study.

When AI is no longer just for “Techies”

Workforce forecasts indicate that AI skills will become increasingly important across a wide range of professions in the coming years. This transformation will affect healthcare, communications, finance, law, business administration, tourism, the performing arts, education, and many other fields. Graduates may possess strong professional knowledge, but without AI literacy, they risk being underprepared for a rapidly changing workplace.

DTU lecturers, staff, and students participate in AI training and professional development

programs, strengthening their ability to apply AI in teaching, research, learning, and professional practice

Recognizing that the future is already taking shape, DTU is developing a comprehensive AI ecosystem. AI is not treated as a stand-alone addition to the curriculum. Instead, it is a central element of the University’s educational vision. DTU aims to equip every student, researcher, and aspiring entrepreneur with AI knowledge and skills, ranging from foundational literacy to advanced, discipline-specific applications.

AI education for every student - regardless of majors

A defining feature of DTU’s AI education strategy is its commitment to ensuring that students across all majors complete three progressively structured AI courses:

1. Understanding the fundamental principles, capabilities, and limitations of AI;
2. Using AI tools effectively and responsibly in learning, research, and professional work; and
3. Applying advanced AI technologies within each student’s chosen field.

For example, Nursing students can learn to use AI to support clinical decision-making and patient care. Architecture and Civil Engineering students can explore AI-assisted design, modeling, and structural simulation. Business Administration students can use AI to analyze customer and market data to inform marketing and product-development decisions. This is the foundation of DTU’s “X + AI” education model, in which AI is integrated into every discipline and becomes a “second professional language” for students.

DTU researches, develops, and applies scientific and technological solutions across

a wide range of fields, including AI, simulation, biomedicine, engineering, and education

The AI Lab network: from specialized training to interdisciplinary learning

AI cannot be learned through textbooks and theoretical instruction alone. Meaningful AI capability also requires opportunities to practice, experiment, conduct research, and develop original solutions. DTU has invested in a network of specialized AI laboratories supporting advanced education and research in technology-related disciplines, together with interdisciplinary AI application labs.

Within these facilities, students in Medicine, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Tourism, Communications, Civil Engineering, Business Administration, Law, and other fields can experiment with AI technologies and develop solutions relevant to their areas of study.

DTU’s AI lab network follows an open and accessible model, supporting both specialized education

and interdisciplinary collaboration while enabling students to practice, conduct research, and develop practical AI solutions

In these laboratories, traditional boundaries between academic disciplines begin to disappear. A project team may bring together students from Information Technology, Medicine, Architecture, and Civil Engineering to develop an AI solution supporting public health.
This interdisciplinary environment reflects the way modern workplaces are evolving under the influence of AI. Through DTU’s AI lab network, students can experience this collaborative approach directly on campus.

Partnering with global technology leaders

The quality of DTU’s AI education is strengthened by its partnerships with leading technology corporations and organizations. DTU collaborates with Samsung, Google, AMD, Alibaba Cloud, UBTECH Robotics, Minto AI, Kmax, and other partners to develop AI applications and AI agents, strengthen laboratory infrastructure, and implement educational programs aligned with international technology trends and professional standards.

DTU is expanding its partnerships with major technology corporations, including Samsung, Google,

AMD, Alibaba Cloud, UBTECH Robotics, Minto AI, and Kmax, to advance AI development and educate a highly skilled workforce.

These partnerships provide students with important benefits, including:

-    Curricula that are regularly updated to reflect emerging technologies and industry standards;
-    Access to advanced computing infrastructure and AI platforms;
-    Opportunities to earn internationally recognized certifications; and
-    Expanded internship and career opportunities with DTU’s corporate partners.

Real Learning, Real Competition, and Real-World Experience

Knowledge becomes a genuine capability only when it is repeatedly put into practice. DTU regularly organizes hands-on AI competitions and encourages students to participate in technology challenges at the national, regional, and international levels. These activities include AI product-development hackathons, competitions based on real-world business challenges, the ASEAN AI Hackathon, and the Vietnam AI Innovation Challenge.

Through these competitions, students strengthen not only their technical knowledge but also their problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and presentation skills. They also gain the confidence to present their ideas before panels of experts and prospective employers - an experience that cannot be gained through textbooks alone.

DTU students have earned numerous awards at national and international

competitions in technology, AI, and information security

Expanding regional influence through the ASEAN AI Council and the Asia Consortium for AI

DTU’s vision extends beyond national borders. The University has played a pioneering role in establishing the ASEAN AI Council (AAIC) and the Asia Consortium for AI Research & Education (ACARE), which connect universities, research institutions, and technology enterprises throughout the region.

Through these networks, DTU students can access international academic and professional opportunities, including:

-    Internship programs with companies and organizations across the region;
-    Opportunities to collaborate with international research teams;
-    Cross-border student exchange programs; and
-    Regional and international scientific conferences.

These opportunities provide DTU students with a platform to enter global academic and professional environments confidently as technologically capable global citizens.

Choose DTU - Build the skills you will need for the next 20 Years

Choosing a university is not simply about selecting a place to study for four years. It is about choosing the foundation and launchpad for an entire professional journey. Students should therefore look beyond course titles and consider whether a university has the academic expertise, technological infrastructure, industry partnerships, and in-house capabilities needed to provide meaningful, future-focused AI education.

DTU’s modern lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, and learning spaces support

students in education, research, innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration

With a comprehensive AI ecosystem - including the “X + AI” curriculum for students across all majors, a modern AI lab network, partnerships with leading global technology companies, hands-on competitions, and influential regional AI alliances - DTU is committed to providing every student with more than a degree. The University aims to equip students with the practical skills, interdisciplinary experience, and competitive capabilities needed to thrive in the age of artificial intelligence. 

The future will favor those who can understand, use, and shape AI responsibly. At DTU, that journey can begin today.
