In the digital age, the role of this field is especially important as it is both the foundation and the driving force for new development trends in society.

With such diverse career prospects in the technology era, you may be tempted by this "king" of studies? Then take some time to learn more about the information technology industry.

Choosing information technology in the digital age

In the simplest terms, information technology is an industry that uses mainly computer and telecommunications systems, including computer hardware and software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and collect information; effectively exploit high-tech resources and provide information processing solutions on demand.

In the context of digital transformation in all areas of life such as national security, health, education, administrative management, economics, finance, etc., the role of information technology is increasingly important in developing smart technology solutions to improve processes, optimize services and improve work efficiency.

Not stopping at traditional programming work, today's information technology industry opens up a diverse digital technology ecosystem to solve more multidisciplinary and multi-field problems.

If you are passionate about protecting users' digital information, fighting against the risk of illegal information dissemination and hackers, then you should choose a major in information security or network security. If you are curious about mobile applications, then a major in mobile application development or app design is the most suitable choice.

If you are passionate about sensor technology, smart automation and optimizing production processes, there are branches of Internet of Things (IoT) or artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to pursue.

There are many more trends in Blockchain, Big Data, Cloud Computing, etc. - which are fertile lands for young people with a passion for creating breakthrough technology applications, taking the leading position in the digital era 4.0.

Career development from modern university model

Information technology is a field of study that is never out of fashion with huge career potential, on the other hand, this field of study also poses many challenges for young people.

The progress of science and technology is measured in seconds, the new generation of human resources must have the awareness of lifelong learning and master advanced technologies.

Choosing a modern university environment that focuses on application from the beginning will be a huge advantage for you to hone your project-based working ability, programming skills, algorithm writing, judgment skills and problem-solving skills - the requirements to make a good IT engineer.

This is also the way that information technology students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) prepare for their careers.

Not limiting themselves to traditional lecture halls, students always take the opportunity to seek exposure to a series of challenges close to real work through professional playgrounds such as My First Website - learning how to design a website; Nurturing IT talents, HUTECH Code War - improving programming skills; Students with HUTECH information security - trying their hand in the field of information security - safety; AI Challenges - cultivating knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence,...

Adding fuel to the fire for students in academic arenas are senior managers and experts from prestigious organizations and businesses such as Ho Chi Minh City Computer Association - HCA, HDBank, FPT Software HCM, iNET,... who not only accompany students to complete their projects, but also open up opportunities to realize their ideas, providing attractive scholarships, internships and jobs.
