Amid digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, fields such as automation, artificial intelligence, and intelligent systems are increasingly forming the backbone of the modern economy. This trend underscores the urgent need to develop a highly skilled workforce through a STEM-oriented approach.
STEM: A Core Foundation for the Digital-Era Workforce
The rapid advancement of science and technology is reshaping the global labor market. STEM disciplines—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—are playing an increasingly central role, not only in manufacturing but also across a wide range of economic sectors.
In particular, areas such as automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and intelligent systems are emerging as the “technological infrastructure” of modern society. Mastery of these technologies is essential not only for improving productivity but also for ensuring long-term competitiveness.
STEM-oriented education is seen as an inevitable pathway to preparing a workforce with high adaptability.

National Strategy for High-Tech Human Resource Development
In response to these demands, the International School – Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-IS) has launched its Automation and Informatics program based on a STEM-oriented approach. The program has also been approved to participate in the national project on developing high-quality human resources through 2045.
Academically, AAI is a highly interdisciplinary major that integrates Electronics, Information Technology, and Automation. Students are equipped with knowledge spanning mechanics, electrical and electronic engineering, microprocessors, and automatic control, enabling them to design and operate industrial control systems.
Beyond theoretical instruction, the program places strong emphasis on practical training and real-world experience. Students are encouraged to undertake internships at enterprises, engage with real-life problems, and work in professional environments.
From STEM Education to Global Integration
With English-medium instruction, alignment with international standards, and a focus on practical needs, graduates can pursue careers in fields such as smart manufacturing, industrial robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and applied artificial intelligence.
VNU-IS provides students with early access to international education standards.
Admission Highlights 2026
- Target: 100 students for Automation and Informatics (QHQ08).
- Methods: High school exams, English certificates, HSA results, and direct admission.
- Scholarships: Attractive policies offering up to 100% tuition coverage.
As technology becomes the foundation of all industries, choosing the Automation and Informatics program is not merely selecting a major—it is choosing a long-term development pathway in the digital era.
