This marks an important milestone, demonstrating the University’s training capacity, strategic vision, and strong commitment to integration in the context of rapid digital transformation and globalization.
New programs align with practical demands
The introduction of new academic programs not only meets the practical needs of the labor market but also aligns with the breakthrough development orientation in education and training under the spirit of Resolution No. 71 of the Central Committee, which emphasizes innovation in training models associated with science and technology, innovation, and international integration.

The University’s newly introduced study programs focus on fields with high demand for human resources, including technology, data, digital finance, life sciences, environment, creative design, management, and applied social sciences.
The curricula are designed with an interdisciplinary approach, strengthening digital skills, innovative thinking, and career adaptability, enabling learners to be well-prepared for both domestic and international labor markets.
Through the launch of 15 new programs, the University demonstrates its strong academic capacity, high-quality lecturers, and a synchronized ecosystem of education, research, and innovation, meeting the demand for high-quality human resource development in the country’s new phase.
Large-scale scholarship policy
Alongside the expansion of academic programs, the comprehensive scholarship policy with a total budget of over VND 95 billion continues to be one of the University’s highlights, creating strong appeal for prospective students.
At the undergraduate level, freshmen have the opportunity to access many valuable scholarship programs such as the Valedictorian Scholarship, the Talent Scholarship, and the Talent Incentive Scholarship, along with partnership scholarships offered in collaboration with high schools, local authorities, and enterprises.
During their studies, students are also eligible for Academic Incentive Scholarships based on academic performance and extracurricular points, the “TDTU Student Empowerment Scholarship” for those facing financial difficulties, as well as various corporate-sponsored scholarships.
In particular, the University provides financial support to cover the gap between the University’s tuition fees and the level subsidized by the Government, enabling students to pursue their studies with peace of mind and without interruption due to financial hardship.

At the graduate level, the University continues to implement various practical scholarship policies, including a 100% tuition waiver for PhD candidates conducting research at the University. This demonstrates a strong commitment to promoting the development of science, technology, and innovation, in line with the orientation set out in Resolution 71.
