Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Van Huy, Rector of UD-DUE, shared that UD-DUE recognizes the crucial role of training digital human resources in enhancing the quality of education and meeting labor market demands. Therefore, UD-DUE focuses on integrating technology and interdisciplinary knowledge into its curricula, developing practical skills through real-world projects, and emphasizing career-oriented training while fostering soft skills for students.

Since 2012, UD-DUE has made significant investments in information technology infrastructure and digital databases, upgrading management systems and equipment for online learning. Starting from the second semester of the 2023-2024 academic year, UD-DUE will implement a blended learning model that combines in-person classroom instruction with online learning through the Study-Arts platform. Additionally, the university is building and upgrading its practical training facilities, equipping them with high-performance computers, specialized software, and high-speed network systems, enabling students to practice digital skills related to programming, big data analysis, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity.

Facilitating access for lecturers and students to access new technology applications in the field of finance and banking

“UD-DUE has just inaugurated the DUE-MB Digital Hub, which includes a learning space, multimedia technology seminar space, exchange area, and smart digital banking space with a broadband technical infrastructure to support the learning and scientific research of UD-DUE’s staff and students,” said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Le Van Huy.

Adding new majors in line with trends

In addition to investing in infrastructure and teaching equipment, UD-DUE has quickly grasped trends, focusing on developing new interdisciplinary majors that align with the market. In response to the increasing digitization in the fields of economics, finance, and management, in 2024, UD-DUE has established majors in Digital Business, E-commerce, Data Science and Business Analytics, Financial Technology, Digital Marketing, Management Information Systems, and Information Technology to enroll students, with a high admission rate.

Pioneer in training high-quality human resources in Financial Technology

Similarly, UD-DUT also closely follows science and technology development trends and labor market requirements to open new corresponding training programs. UD-DUT focuses on key, high-tech industries, meeting the requirements of high-quality human resources of information technology, specializing in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and Mechanical Engineering specializing in Mechanical Aviation, computer engineering, automobile engineering, majoring in biotechnology and medicine in the biotechnology industry...

In particular, facing the urgent need to train human resources for packaging and testing semiconductor circuits (ATP), which is drawing special attention from the city. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Le Hung, Rector of UD- University of Technology and Education (UD-UTE), said that with the orientation of developing into a center connecting human resources training for packaging and testing semiconductor circuits, from 2023 UD-UTE has deployed content on preparing to invest in a semiconductor chip laboratory and opening a semiconductor chip major, to meet the new needs of the labor market.
