According to Professor Gerard Parr, Dean of UEA's Faculty of Computer Science and Head of the Advisory Board of the Project, the necessary knowledge and skills will be designed and implemented according to the model curriculum framework, through which Vietnamese universities like VKU can apply and effectively support students to improve their professional competence and quality to adapt to the increasing recruitment demand in the period of digital transformation and Industry 4.0., as well as contribute to improving the quality of human resources through constantly improving training contents and programs towards global integration.

It is expected that UD-VKU's staff, lecturers and students will have the opportunity to exchange, work and exchange experiences with experts, officials, lecturers and students of the project's partner universities, thereby promoting the quality of teaching and learning, research and innovation, and entrepreneurship in a cohesive network between Vietnamese and UK universities.

UD-VKU has also recently established the Digital Science and Technology Institute (eSTI) within the framework of the ODA project to improve capacity building in training, administration, scientific research, knowledge and technology transfer funded by the government of the Republic of Korea in order to help UD-VKU become a prestigious university with international reach in the fields of information technology, communication and digital technology.
