Automotive students enthusiastically participating in activities during the welcoming event
The Faculty of Automotive Technology and Engineering at BETU officially began enrolling and training students in 2022. Its curriculum is designed with a strong emphasis on practical application, tailored to meet societal demands. Courses are structured to closely align real-world practices in enterprises, featuring a diverse range of study programs. Notably, the Vietnam–Korea Automotive Technology Program enables students to study in the Korean language, with instruction from Korean professors. In addition to theoretical and practical lessons, automotive students gain fresh perspectives through seminars, company visits, hands-on experiences at assembly plants, academic competitions, and specialized lectures delivered by domestic and international experts.
According to its development plan, the Faculty of Automotive Technology and Engineering at BETU will enhance internship opportunities and job placement programs for students both domestically and internationally. It will focus on applied training and automotive technology research, fostering the development of patents and intellectual property products. The university also aims to assemble a team of domestic and international experts to contribute to activities at its Automotive Practice Center. Additionally, BETU plans to transfer technologies, develop guidelines and instructional materials for interested organizations, establish international student exchange programs, and support the improvement of the university’s automotive technology curriculum.
Earlier, in July 2023, BETU inaugurated its Center for Automotive Diagnosis, Repair, and Simulation, marking a significant milestone in the university’s automotive technology training program.
