Faculty of Engineering and Technology Overview
The Faculty of Engineering and Technology was established under Decision No. 3939/QĐ-ĐHQGHN on August 26, 2024, by the President of Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU). As a specialized unit within the International School, the faculty serves as an academic and professional hub for faculty members, researchers, and graduate students with related expertise. It assists the Rector in organizing training programs, fostering scientific research collaborations, and facilitating domestic and international technology transfer in engineering and interdisciplinary fields, aligning with the vision, mission, and development orientation of the International School at VNU. With a commitment to excellence, the Faculty of Engineering and Technology strives to fulfill its responsibilities in education, scientific research, and technological innovation while contributing to the International School’s mission: “Providing education, scientific research, and technology transfer based on international accreditation standards, grounded in fundamental science, applied science, interdisciplinary studies, and knowledge transfer, thereby delivering high-quality human resources and internationally standardized scientific and technological products to support national development.” The faculty also upholds and promotes its core values of “High Quality, Innovation, Pioneering, Responsibility, and International Integration.”
Academic Programs and Research Initiatives
Currently, the Faculty of Engineering and Technology is responsible for four undergraduate degree programs: Bachelor of Applied Information Technology, Bachelor of Industrial Systems and Logistics (both awarded by VNU), Bachelor of Informatics and Computer Engineering, Engineer of Automation and Informatics (joint programs with Moscow Power Engineering Institute, awarded by VNU). These programs are developed and periodically updated by the faculty to meet the demands of the high-quality labor market and the expectations of stakeholders, employers, and organizations. Additionally, the faculty has successfully designed two graduate programs—Master’s and Ph.D. in Informatics and Computer Engineering—both approved by VNU and launched in the 2022-2023 academic year. Faculty members are actively involved in teaching across all academic programs at the International School, spanning undergraduate and graduate levels. Their expertise covers various disciplines, including Informatics, Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Information Systems, Data Analytics, Financial Computing, Statistics and Decision-Making, and Quantitative Methods for Management and Business. Additionally, they contribute to natural sciences courses such as General Biology for other specialized programs. The faculty is also in charge of computer labs, informatics and information system laboratories, smart integrated laboratories, biotechnology laboratories, and advanced technology practice rooms at the International School.
Faculty Development and Collaboration
Recognizing that human resources are central to development, the Faculty of Engineering and Technology prioritizes building a high-quality, streamlined faculty team. Currently, it has a dedicated team of faculty members, including 1 Full Professor, 2 Associate Professors, 13 Ph.D. holders, and 3 Master’s degree holders. Most faculty members have received training from top-ranked international universities. In addition to the core faculty, the department collaborates with visiting lecturers and research associates from leading institutions in Hanoi, such as VNU University of Technology, VNU University of Natural Sciences, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. It also partners with international universities such as Deakin University (Australia) and Chatham University (USA). With these strategic collaborations and a strong commitment to academic excellence, the Faculty of Engineering and Technology continues to grow, driving innovation and fostering high-quality education and research in engineering and technology.
