Top universities enrolling in semiconductor industry in 2025

This year, Hanoi National University of Education opens 5 new majors, including: Biotechnology, Physics (Semiconductor Physics and Engineering), History, Sociology, Vietnamese Language and Culture.

In particular, for the Physics major (Semiconductor Physics and Engineering), the school plans to enroll 120 students for 3 methods including direct admission of candidates with outstanding abilities and achievements (24 students), admission based on ability assessment test scores (36 students), admission based on 2025 high school graduation exam scores (60 students).

Similarly, three schools under the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, including the University of Technology, the University of Natural Sciences and the Vietnam-Japan University, also opened their first bachelor's/engineering program in semiconductors.

Semiconductor enrollment targets of specific schools are as follows.

STT	School	Branch	Target	Tuition (estimated)
1	Hanoi University of Science and Technology	Microelectronics and Nanotechnology	180	22-28 million VND/year
2	Hanoi National University of Education	Physics (Semiconductor Physics and Engineering)	120
3	University of Science (Vietnam National University, Hanoi)	Semiconductor technology	140	15-37 million VND/year
4	Vietnam Japan University (Vietnam National University, Hanoi)	Semiconductor chip technology	100	58 million VND/year
5	University of Technology (Vietnam National University, Hanoi)	Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering Technology focuses on electronic circuit design and Materials and Microelectronics Technology.	600	32-40 million VND/year
6	Hanoi University of Industry	Semiconductor
7	Hanoi University of Science and Technology	Semiconductor technology		56 million VND/year
8	CMC University	Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering Technology (major in Semiconductor Circuit Design)	50	54-78 million VND/year
9	Phenikaa University	Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering (major in Semiconductor Circuit Design)	150	46.2 million VND/year

According to calculations by the Ministry of Information and Communications, the domestic semiconductor industry needs 10,000 engineers each year, but current human resources meet less than 20%.

The Government's project "Developing human resources for the semiconductor industry to 2030, with a vision to 2050" aims that by 2030, Vietnam will train at least 50,000 bachelors/engineers to serve the semiconductor industry in all stages of the semiconductor industry value chain such as: design, packaging, testing and manufacturing of microchips and semiconductors.

Of these, about 15,000 are microchip design engineers, 35,000 engineers work in chip manufacturing, packaging and testing factories, and 5,000 have deep expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) serving the semiconductor industry. In addition, in-depth training on the semiconductor industry is provided to 1,300 Vietnamese lecturers teaching at research institutes, universities, training support facilities and businesses.
