That dream is to enable young people in this resilient, tradition-rich land to study in a modern, high-quality, globally integrated environment right at home, to work, contribute, and build careers in Central Vietnam instead of having to migrate far from their families to big cities.

Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology (VKU) was founded and developed from that aspiration – to build a modern, world-class university capable of nurturing global citizens right in Central Vietnam. We are proud to be a leading public university specializing in digital technology, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and fintech, offering bilingual programs, close industry ties, and a learner-centered, internationalized education. We hope that today’s Quang Tri students will become future engineers and tech experts – individuals who are not only highly skilled but also ambitious to build their homeland and create value from knowledge and technology right in their own region. VKU is always ready to accompany and support you in making this dream a reality.
