Da Nang University of Science and Technology aims to ensure its graduates with 100% employment

The recent survey from the Da Nang University of Science and Technology revealed that 94.6% of graduates from the school are in employment after graduating in 2017

Over recent years, the Da Nang University of Science and Technology has paid special attention

to training qualified students to meet requirements of recruiters

In detail, 209 out of 2,275 graduates are working for local government departments and agencies, 1,540 for private companies, 453 for foreign firms, and 73 for their own companies.

Associate Professor Dr Nantana Gajaseni, Chairwoman of the ASEAN University Network – Quality Assurance (AUN-QA), remarked the positive results reflect the professional skills and practical experience that the shool’s undergraduate students acquire through the school’s profesional training programmes. As a result, graduates from this school can meet the requirements of recruiters.

In 2018 alone, the University has received the ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) certifications for its 4 training programmes.

The certified programmes are electrical and electronic engineering, electronics and telecommunication engineering, information technology and petroleum engineering.

Last year, the University’s advanced programmes in electronics and telecommunication engineering, and embedded system also received certifications as accredited programmes under the AUN-QA system.

Previously, the school has been recognised for meeting the national education quality over the 2016 – 2021 period. In addition, it has been officially accredited by the High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (HCERES) within the validity period of 5 years from 2017 – 2022.

Moreover, the University’s 3 Vietnamese-French Training Programmes of excellent Engineers (PFIEV) have been recognised by the French commission for engineering diplomas (CTI) for meeting educational quality during the 2016-2021 period.

Associate Professor Dr Nguyen Hong Hai, Head of the University’s Training Department, said his school is promoting the application of project-based learning (PBL) method into its training programmes.

“PBL is an instructional approach designed to give students the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills through engaging projects set around challenges and problems they may face in the real world. This method is considered as to be the most advanced method according to the US Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)” he added.

Mr Hai emphasised the highlight of this method is to shorten the training period from 5 to 4 years with a total of 120 credits, as well as to reduce time spent on learning theories and increase time spent on practising in businesses.

Especially, time for learning English language will be increased in order to help university students meet the level 4 of the national language competency framework B2 to look for jobs overseas, or foreign companies.
