In his speech, Dr. Huynh Ngoc Tho – Vice Rector of VKU expressed his pleasure in welcoming the leadership of HIDECO Human Resource Development Investment JSC to visit and explore cooperation opportunities with the university. He provided an overview of VKU – a public university under the University of Danang, currently training nearly 7,000 students across 19 majors/specializations in fields such as information technology, digital economy, information security, semiconductor circuit design, digital communication, etc. Each year, VKU enrolls about 1,500 students, with admission scores consistently maintained at a high level of 24 points or above, demonstrating the quality and social trust in the university.

VKU aims to develop its training model in close alignment with businesses, quickly updating new technology trends, promoting practical training, soft skills, entrepreneurial spirit, and professional attitudes. One of VKU’s highlights is the effective implementation of bilingual training programs in English-Vietnamese, Japanese-Vietnamese, and Korean-Vietnamese, equipping students with the ability to integrate and work in international environments. Notably, VKU is closely cooperating with NiX Education to implement a Japanese –Vietnamese bilingual training program for students in Information Technology and Semiconductor Circuit Design majors. This pioneering training model not only helps students improve their Japanese proficiency but also enables them to access in-depth knowledge and career skills that meet the requirements of high-tech enterprises, especially in the Japanese market. Based on the success of this program, VKU hopes to expand the Japanese –Vietnamese bilingual training cooperation to the Digital Economy field, including majors such as Business Administration, Marketing, IT Project Management, Digital Tourism and Travel Management, and Digital Logistics and Supply Chain Management, through the companionship and support of HIDECO.
