Which universities will train talented engineers and masters in STEM?

To implement the Government's Project on training human resources to serve high-tech development in the 2025-2035 period and orientation to 2045, universities will be selected to participate in training talented engineers and masters in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, mathematics).

The Ministry of Education and Training has just issued criteria and procedures for selecting training programs and training institutions to participate in the training program for talented engineers and masters in STEM fields.

This decision applies to higher education institutions participating in the implementation of the Project "Training human resources to serve high-tech development in the period 2025 - 2035 and orientation to 2045" according to the Prime Minister's decision (May 2025) and talent training programs in other STEM fields implemented by the Ministry of Education and Training.
