University of Engineering and Technology

What University of Engineering and Technology does

Trường Đại học Công nghệ (University of Engineering and Technology, VNU-UET) is a public research university operating within Vietnam National University, Hanoi (ĐHQGHN), specializing in undergraduate and postgraduate education across technology and engineering disciplines including computer science, information technology, electronics and telecommunications, physics engineering, mechanical engineering, and aerospace. The university enrolls 12,000+ students, supported by a faculty in which over 75% hold PhDs, and reports a graduate employment rate exceeding 97% within one year of graduation. Its product portfolio spans bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs delivered through seven faculties plus an AI Research Institute, alongside a student job portal, learning management system, and dedicated career services.

UET's technology base extends beyond teaching into applied research across multiple AI and engineering domains. Named proprietary or co-developed outputs include HanoiAir (an AI-powered air quality forecasting system, the first of its kind in Vietnam), an AI lung cancer diagnostic research program with Bạch Mai Hospital, a dyslexia screening tool for children, the TriNet next-generation tensor network model, CO₂ direct air capture technology under commercialization with Nano Lam Son, Cansat student-built satellites, autonomous vehicle research, and drone-based reforestation technology. Four of six UET subject areas are ranked in the QS World University Rankings by Subject, and a UET team placed in the global Top 15 at the ACM/ICPC World Finals 2018.

The business model is a hybrid of public funding and fee-based revenue. State budget allocation covers state-quota (biên chế) students who pay no tuition, while fee-paying students and international joint/double-degree program participants generate per-semester tuition revenue. Additional streams include government and ministerial research grants, industry-sponsored research and consulting contracts, and short-term corporate training and continuing education. Distribution is anchored in Vietnam's centralized national university admission system and an annual on-campus Job Fair drawing 30+ employers, complemented by a dedicated career portal and the JobOKO recruitment network. International partnerships span Korean universities (POSTECH, Yonsei, Hallym, Kyungpook), Chinese institutions (Guangxi Normal University), Swedish counterparts (Blekinge Institute of Technology), and multinational technology firms (FPT, Viettel, IBM, LG, Panasonic).
