Program Message
Prof. Morikawa Yoshitada
Osaka University
Program co-director
“Nanotechnology is the field that changes the world. The Master’s program in Nanotechnology at VJU aims to cultivate human resources who are largely expected to develop and aggressively progress Vietnamese industry and academia for future national growth. Especially, this program puts much emphasis on the abilities of students to look at the nanoscopic view from the quantum-level, and through deep thought and the resolution of complex problems to make ceaseless breakthroughs in high technology. Also, the needs of the interdisciplinary nature of the course involving physics, chemistry and biological engineering are well met by the well-organized curriculum provided by international and professional faculty members. Students can get more than the double major necessary for producing future innovative ideas and hints. We welcome young persons who have the high degree of motivation and potential needed for the VJU nanotechnology program.”
