7. What is different about the teaching methods of DNU IT faculty compared to other schools?

Most training institutions today teach IT from basics to skills, then to systems. FIT-DNU is the opposite. Students start with real systems, then delve into the components.

FIT-DNU focuses on practical training.

The IT field does not discriminate between men and women. There are many powerful and famous female IT figures in the world such as Sheryl Sandberg, CEO of Facebook, Maryssa Mayer, former CEO of Yahoo, etc. Many career positions in the IT field are suitable for women such as Web programming design, software testing, database administration, software quality assurance, IT administration, etc.

With the new training program, DNU IT students can work in businesses after completing their first year.

11. What are the current job opportunities in the IT industry?

Currently, there is a shortage of IT human resources all over the world. The immediate need in Vietnam is to add about half a million more human resources, far exceeding the capacity of universities.

With the new training program, opportunities will increase significantly, as FIT-DNU partner companies will recruit from the second year onwards for their development projects. After graduation, if they meet the requirements, the entire development team will be recruited directly into the company, without a probationary period.
