University and College Admissions 2018: Which majors will dominate?

Logistics - majorare in need of human resources

Foreign Trade University has just announced its 2018 enrollment plan. There are two notable new points in the school's enrollment plan, which are enrollment by two methods: admission based on national high school exam results and combined admission.

The combined admission method is expected to be implemented before the admission method based on the results of the national high school exam is implemented. Candidates who register for the combined admission method, if they do not pass the exam or do not confirm their enrollment, can continue to participate in the admission method based on the results of the 2018 national high school exam.

The combined admission method applies to English-taught programs. A second new feature is that for the first time, the school is enrolling students in the international career-oriented logistics and supply chain management major with 100 quotas.

The University of Transport Technology is currently training in Logistics and Multimodal Transport. The school's leaders said that this major currently lacks students to supply Japanese companies. "Not only do Japanese companies need human resources in this industry, but foreign companies are also in great need," said the leader of the University of Transport Technology.

Regarding Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Mr. Nguyen Phong Dien - Head of University Training Department said that this year the school will increase the IT major quota by several hundred. Especially hot IT majors such as information security - network security, data communication and computer networks, computer science...

Change methodtrain

According to Mr. Nguyen Phong Dien, since 2009 when the school implemented credit-based training, lecturers had to attend classes too much and had no time for research. How can we reduce the workload for teachers while still ensuring quality? Even though students can choose their subjects and study time, many students still do not attend class. Therefore, there must be flexible teaching methods for both teachers and students. Moreover, in the 4.0 era, new methods and technologies must be introduced early in schools.

“The school is planning to switch to a hybrid teaching method: partly online, partly in class. According to the design, students will have 30% of their training online, and the remaining 70% will be in class. This achieves two goals: students will be more convenient, and lecturers can work anywhere, without necessarily having to go to class,” said Mr. Nguyen Phong Dien.

However, the teaching process will not be left entirely to the students, but there must be interaction between lecturers and students. According to Mr. Dien, major universities in the world are using this mixed training form. The school will pilot it in the summer semester of 2018. After that, the impact and effectiveness will be evaluated and implemented widely.

In addition, Hanoi University of Science and Technology will also innovate foreign language training. It is expected that artificial intelligence will be involved in this training process. Mr. Dien said that according to the school's statistics in 2016 and 2017, the school's input accounted for 50% of the total 5% of candidates with the highest scores in the whole North.

Surprisingly, the students' foreign language proficiency is at a low average level. Some students of the school failed the TOEIC test 12 times, failing to reach 450 points. Therefore, the training method will have to be changed./.
