Undergraduate Admission

I. INTRODUCTION

The Department of Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering (DETE) consists of 17 full-time faculty (and 6 affiliated faculty) with active research and instructional programs in microelectronics, communications, networking, signal and image processing, VLSI circuits and computer-aided design, optoelectronics, and material sciences. Research and training provided by DETE cover a broad range of phenomena encountered in many contexts that are part of our everyday life. Applications include wireless mobile communications (including 5G technologies), radar, image processing, medical imaging, computer vision, computer networking, integrated circuit design for specific application, fiber optics, advanced materials for renewable energy systems, etc. Since 2013, faculty members from DETE have published more than 200 publications, including more than 100 publications indexed in ISI database.

Prospective students will be provided with the contemporary knowledge that is currently taught in TOP 100 universities in the world, as well as be exposed to the latest research and industrial technologies in this broad area. DETE offers 1 regular undergraduate program, 1 high-quality undergraduate program and 1 joint undergraduate program with Saxion Universities of Applied Sciences in Netherlands, 1 Master program, 1 full-time PhD program and 1 joint PhD program (collaborated with VSB-Technical University of Ostrava). The undergraduate program offered by DETE is one of the first 4 programs of Ton Duc Thang University that are accredited by an international organization. DETE also has a strong connection with industrial corporations such as Renesas Design Vietnam, Viettel Corporation, SCTV, FPT, etc., who can provide the students with good opportunities for internship and career development.
