On December 18, 2023, the University Council of National Economics University (NEU) issued a Resolution establishing the College of Technology.

The College of Technology was established with the goal of becoming a pioneering unit and a national leader in education, research, and the transfer of new technologies applied to economics, management, and business. Its guiding principle is to master technology through initiative, creativity, vision, and decisiveness.

Within five years, the College aims to rank among the top three institutions nationwide in research and education in disciplines related to artificial intelligence and data science. The main assessment criteria are international publications, the quality of incoming students, top prizes in national and international Informatics Olympiad programming competitions, and graduate employment positions.

The College aims to help maintain and strengthen NEU’s position as one of Vietnam’s leading universities by building on NEU’s traditional strengths and effectively combining them with new resources. It also aims to build a team of leading scientists in technology with a strong reputation for international research publications and the capacity to advise businesses and organizations on digital transformation and the application of smart technologies, AI technology, and blockchain in management and business administration.

The College aims to revamp its academic disciplines and teaching methods to create a supportive learning environment that brings out the best qualities of each individual learner.

Planned New Academic Disciplines

Alongside its existing disciplines, the College of Technology will introduce new disciplines, including Data Science (in the field of Mathematics and Statistics), as well as Software Engineering, Information Systems, Artificial Intelligence, and Information Security (all in the field of Computing and Information Technology).

To achieve these goals, National Economics University has recently attracted a number of key personnel

In 2023, the University reassigned and recruited 14 lecturers to strengthen the College of Technology’s teaching and scientific research capacity. All newly recruited lecturers were trained in relevant technology disciplines for management, such as Operations Research; Mathematics and Applications; Mathematics and Its Interactions; Advanced Computing; Data Thinking and High-Performance Computing; Computer Science; Automation and Production; and Electrical and Electronic Engineering. They graduated from renowned universities around the world, including Queen’s University of Belfast, Lille University, and Bristol University – United Kingdom; Montreal University – Canada; Paris 1 – Pantheon – Sorbonne University, Paris-Saclay University, and the Nantes School of Mines – France; Rutgers University – United States; and Heinrich Heine Duesseldorf University – Germany.

With the size and quality of its current teaching staff, the College of Technology will be well equipped to meet the requirements and tasks set in the current context. In the coming period, the University will continue to attract and develop personnel through the following approaches:

First, continue training and professional development for current teaching staff, sending lecturers to short-term training courses in their respective disciplines at the world’s leading universities, with approximately 20–30 lecturers in each cohort;

Second, continue recruiting new lecturers who meet NEU’s demanding requirements and international standards, in line with the University’s development strategy;

Third, improve facilities and compensation and benefits to motivate current staff while attracting talented individuals from Vietnam and abroad to teach at the University.
