In the context of digital transformation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, fields such as automation, artificial intelligence, and intelligent systems are becoming the foundation of the modern economy. This trend calls for an urgent need to develop a high-quality technology workforce oriented toward STEM education.
 |
Recognizing this demand, VNU International School has implemented a STEM-oriented program in Automation and Informatics and has also been approved to participate in the national project on developing a high-quality technology workforce through 2045.
The program is designed with an integrated approach that combines theory and practice, enabling students to acquire fundamental knowledge in areas such as control systems, programming, and technology integration, while also developing systems thinking and problem-solving skills.
The interdisciplinary approach—characteristic of STEM—empowers learners to tackle complex problems closely tied to real-world production and operations in modern technological environments.
In addition to its STEM orientation, the Automation and Informatics Engineering program (AAI) at VNU International School is structured according to a modern educational model and delivered entirely in English. The program is awarded by Vietnam National University, Hanoi, and incorporates academic collaboration with the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI), one of the most reputable engineering institutions. This provides students with access to international-standard education while studying domestically.
Academically, AAI is a highly interdisciplinary field that integrates Electronics, Information Technology, and Automation. Students are equipped with knowledge spanning mechanics, electrical and electronic engineering, microprocessors, embedded programming, and automatic control to design and operate industrial control systems. At the same time, the curriculum includes courses in data science, programming, computer networks, and information systems, enabling students to build and manage digital systems in modern production environments.
Beyond theoretical knowledge, the program places strong emphasis on hands-on experience and practical exposure. Students are encouraged to participate in internships with enterprises, engage in real-world problem-solving, and gain experience in professional working environments. Moreover, the use of English throughout the program enhances students’ language proficiency, preparing them to integrate and work effectively in international environments immediately after graduation.
Beyond providing specialized knowledge, the program aims to develop individuals who are capable of adapting to and actively contributing to innovation in a global technological environment.

With an English-medium instruction approach aligned with international standards and real-world demands, graduates can pursue careers in a wide range of fields, including smart manufacturing, industrial robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and applied artificial intelligence.
In parallel, in 2026, VNU International School plans to enroll 1,350 students across 14 full-time undergraduate programs, including 100 seats for the Automation and Informatics major (QHQ08). The School applies four admission methods: selection based on the National High School Graduation Examination results, combined admission with international English certificates, admission based on the Vietnam National University’s competency assessment test (HSA), and direct admission in accordance with regulations.
Notably, a range of attractive scholarship policies are available, offering up to 100% tuition coverage for the entire program, aimed at attracting high-achieving applicants with a strong interest in pursuing careers in technology.
