General Introduction

Science and Environmental Management program provides knowledge about different topics such as physical science, chemistry, biology and understandings about environment. The primary aim of this  program is to advance leaners’ acknowledgement about problems of surrounding environment and their reaction to  harmful factors  in order to come up with solutions for the  sustainable development of the environment.

In the last year of the program, students are allowed to register to participate in graduation internship in Vietnam and foreign countries at production factories, research institutes and universities in 6 months.

Furthermore, graduates from the Advanced Education Program also have outstanding English competencies as the curriculum is taught entirely in English; have the opportunity to study in an international environment with students from countries such as Australia, France, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia ...; Every year, about 30% of students are allowed to take 4 - 6 month short-term exchange programs at universities around the world. 100% of students  who wish to  take a graduation internship abroad will be introduced to appropriate factories, universities and research institutes.

The contingent of teachers of the Advanced Education Program in Science and Environmental Management is trained abroad, with master and doctoral degrees, good expertise and foreign languages. About 30% of lecturers participating in the Science and Environmental Management program are professors and doctors from universities around the world such as the US, Australia, Japan and Taiwan.
