Which majors attract the most applicants at Dai Nam University?

Choosing a major and a university is not simply selecting a name from a list of preferences. For students, it's choosing a field to pursue during the most important years of their youth. For parents, it's a significant investment in their child's future. Therefore, what matters is not just which major is "hot," but whether that major is suitable, how it's taught, what opportunities are available, and whether graduates' skills meet the demands of the job market.

In 2026, Dai Nam University will enroll students in 56 training programs across 6 fields: Health, Engineering - Technology, Economics - Business, Social Sciences and Humanities, Languages, and Fine Arts and Design. The university has allocated 55 billion VND in scholarships and financial support for new students of the K20 cohort. The training programs are designed with an application-oriented approach, emphasizing practical skills, business connections, and professional competence.

Healthcare Sector: Vocational training based on professional competence and responsibility towards people.

Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing are options for candidates who want to pursue a career in healthcare – a field that demands solid knowledge, practical skills, and a high level of professional responsibility.

In the field of Medicine, parents' questions aren't just about "whether or not to study for 6 years," but more importantly, how students are trained and given practical experience to become doctors. A notable achievement of Dai Nam Medical School is the graduation of its first cohort of medical doctors. On July 9, 2026, the school awarded diplomas to its first 83 new doctors; according to published information, 100% of the first graduating class achieved a GPA of "Good" or higher, and 13 students who applied for residency programs were accepted. This is a significant milestone because the quality of training is no longer just about the direction of education, but is beginning to be verified by real students and real results.

Pharmacy is suitable for candidates who love Chemistry and Biology and want to develop a career in pharmaceuticals, pharmacies, hospitals, manufacturing, testing, research, or pharmaceutical business. The key emphasis in the Pharmacy program is learning to understand, practicing to do, and developing professional skills, rather than simply memorizing textbook knowledge.

For Nursing, the 3.5-year training program aims to help students develop fundamental medical knowledge, nursing skills, and patient care abilities, creating a foundation for early entry into the profession. Thus, the common thread among the Health group at Dai Nam is not about "learning quickly" or "learning a lot," but rather about learning the right profession, gaining sufficient practical experience, and developing professional competence.

Technology and Engineering Group: learning to create products and solve real-world problems.

The development of AI, data, automation, smart manufacturing, and the automotive industry is creating a growing demand for technology and engineering professionals. At Dai Nam University, this group of disciplines includes Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology, Mechatronics Engineering Technology, Control and Automation Engineering Technology, Automotive Engineering Technology, etc.

With Information Technology, students can develop a broad foundation in software, systems, and technological solutions; Computer Science delves deeper into computational thinking, algorithms, data, and AI; while Information Systems stands at the intersection of technology, data, and management, aiming to apply information systems to solve business problems. The common thread among these three fields is a shift in focus from "learning technology for knowledge" to "learning to do and create value," through hands-on experience, projects, labs, and business connections.

In the engineering group, Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology is suitable for candidates who love electronic devices, circuits, and systems; Mechatronics Engineering Technology is the choice for those who want to combine mechanics, electronics, and control to create intelligent machine systems; and Control and Automation Engineering Technology aims at designing, programming, operating, and optimizing automated systems in manufacturing.

Automotive Engineering Technology, in particular, opens up a broader career world beyond simply "repairing cars": from engineering, diagnosis, and maintenance to automotive service and sales. The program at Dai Nam includes internships at businesses and graduation projects, helping students apply their specialized knowledge to a real-world professional environment.

The common USP of the Technology - Engineering group is: emphasis on hands-on experience, access to technology and real-world problems, aiming to train learners to work with real machines, systems, data, and products.

Economics - Business Group: Learn to understand the market, businesses, and people.

Business Administration, Human Resource Management, and Marketing are three options for candidates interested in markets, businesses, customers, and people. While Business Administration helps students view businesses from a holistic perspective, Human Resource Management focuses on attracting, developing, and retaining talent, and Marketing delves into customers, brands, communication, and growth.

In the context of a rapidly changing business environment, a student's advantage no longer lies in memorizing a large number of concepts, but rather in their ability to analyze problems, work in teams, develop plans, and solve specific business challenges. Therefore, a training orientation closely linked to businesses and practical applications becomes crucial for students to gradually develop professional competencies throughout their studies.

E-commerce, international business, logistics, and supply chain management are all part of the modern business landscape. An order placed on a digital platform, paid for online, shipped across borders, and delivered to the customer is the result of an entire underlying system. E-commerce is suitable for those passionate about business, technology, data, and customer behavior; international business is for those who want to work in a cross-border environment and multinational corporations; while logistics and supply chain management focus on operational challenges, optimizing the flow of goods, costs, and time. This group of industries clearly benefits from the intersection of business, technology, data, and international markets.

Language Group: Turning Foreign Languages into Professional Competencies

English, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese are suitable for candidates who love foreign languages but want to broaden their career opportunities beyond just communication skills.

In an international work environment, a foreign language only truly becomes an advantage when combined with expertise, professional skills, and cultural understanding. English can open opportunities in education, business, translation, communication, and international settings; Chinese is associated with trade and Chinese businesses; Korean benefits from the Korean business ecosystem in Vietnam; while Japanese creates opportunities to access Japanese culture, work habits, and work environments, including internship programs in Japan.

The USP of the Language group is not just about learning one language, but about being able to use foreign languages in academics, work, and international environments.

The Creative and People Team: Transforming Talent into Professional Competence

For candidates who love creativity, visuals, and people, Multimedia Communication, Psychology, and Graphic Design offer distinct career paths.

Multimedia communication is suitable for those who enjoy storytelling through words, images, videos, and technology; because today's market needs not only writers but also personnel capable of generating ideas, producing content, designing, and operating digital media.

Psychology is a human science that requires knowledge, methods, practical skills, and professional ethics; graduates can develop careers in fields such as counseling, education, human resources, research, and other jobs related to people.

Meanwhile, Graphic Design is for those who can transform ideas into visual language, from brand identity, advertising, digital communication to creative products.

The common thread among these three disciplines is that learning is about creating specific products or value, rather than just studying theory.

Things parents should consider when choosing a major for their child.

A field of study might be attractive due to market trends, but the decision should be based on more fundamental questions: Is this field a good fit for my child? Is the program relevant to real-world applications? What level of practical experience will my child receive? Will businesses be involved in the training process? Will my child's skills meet job requirements after graduation?

This is also the direction Dai Nam has identified in its training strategy with the message "Lecture halls open doors - Businesses partner - Technology leads the way".

According to information released by the university, a survey for the 2025-2026 academic year shows that 95% of students will have jobs after graduation; at the same time, Dai Nam continues to invest in training programs, facilities, business connections, and policies to support learners.

For new students of the K20 cohort, the university also announced a scholarship and financial support fund of 55 billion VND, providing additional support to help students confidently pursue their chosen path.

Choose a suitable field of study, instead of chasing after a "hot" one.

There isn't one single best field of study for everyone. Some people are suited to Medicine, Pharmacy, or Nursing because they want to pursue a career in healthcare; others are drawn to IT, Computer Science, or Information Systems because they love technology; some want to create systems and products in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, Automation, or Automotive; some are suited to Business, Marketing, Human Resources, E-commerce, International Business, or Logistics; some want to use English, Chinese, Korean, or Japanese to enter the international arena; and some truly shine when they are creative, design, communicate, or understand people.

The important thing is not to choose the most talked-about field, but to choose the right field that you are capable of pursuing, in an environment good enough to turn that suitability into real competence.

That is also the value that Dai Nam University aims for: not only to expand the range of academic options, but also to build a journey where students can learn in a real way, practice in a real way, gain real experience, and gradually develop real professional skills.
