The results reflect the application of technology in management and training, helping students develop digital competencies and adapt to changes in the labor market.
The announcement ceremony of Vietnam Excellence Brand 2026 is an annual event organized by the Business & Commerce Magazine in collaboration with the Institute for Development of Inventions & Technology Innovation, along with central and local agencies, to honor organizations with outstanding innovation marks in the digital age. Phu Xuan University was named in the category of Top 10 Outstanding Digital Transformation Universities 2026, recognizing the school's orientation towards technology application and educational innovation, while affirming its commitment to improving training quality, developing digital competencies, and enhancing career adaptability for students.
Comprehensive digital transformation and mastery of AI thinking
In the context of AI changing the way people learn and work, digital transformation is increasingly becoming an important part of the activities of higher education institutions. Recognizing this as a long-term development orientation, Phu Xuan University applies technology in management, training organization, and teaching and learning activities.
Digital tools support lecturers in innovating teaching methods, increasing interactivity, and organizing lessons more flexibly. Students not only access learning resources on digital platforms but also directly exploit data and apply technology to carry out course projects.
In response to changes in recruitment requirements from businesses, Phu Xuan University also integrates AI tools into learning activities across various disciplines. Students use AI in data analysis, content creation, design, programming, and research support.
In addition to tool manipulation skills, the university places special emphasis on cultivating critical thinking, professional ethics, and the responsibilities of users. Students are required to understand how to ask questions, verify information, and take responsibility for the products they create, rather than relying on results generated by AI.
Knowledge about AI is also brought to high school students through the career guidance series “You are AI in the Age of AI.” The program has been organized at 17 high schools in Hue city, helping thousands of students understand the impact of AI on careers and the competencies needed to prepare for the future.
Linking training with businesses and expanding international learning opportunities
Alongside innovating teaching and learning methods, Phu Xuan University enhances connections with businesses to bring real-world experiences into the training program. Students participate in practical projects, gaining exposure to work environments and internships at companies starting from their second year.
Early exposure to businesses helps students develop a career mindset, hone skills, and accumulate professional experience during their studies. Changes in technology, skills, and labor market demands also serve as a basis for the university to update its training programs.
At the same time, the university continuously expands international cooperation to update programs and create more learning opportunities for students.
Phu Xuan University currently maintains academic cooperation with Keiser University (USA) and Asian Institute of Technology (AIT). Within the framework of cooperation with AIT, the Emerging Technology Institute (IMT) under AIT and Phu Xuan University implement training programs in new technology fields. Students can continue to pursue graduate studies and receive an international master's degree in just 4.5-5 years.
In the area of distance education, Topica International Training Institute (under Phu Xuan University) offers undergraduate programs in a flexible format, suitable for those who find it difficult to participate in concentrated programs. Technology helps learners access higher education programs that better fit their personal conditions and lifelong learning needs.
Preparing competencies for students in a digital environment
The title of Top 10 Outstanding Digital Transformation Schools 2026 recognizes the results Phu Xuan University has achieved in the process of applying technology to training.
The combination of digital technology, AI, business experiences, and international cooperation helps students develop professional competencies, digital skills, and adaptability to work after graduation.
In the coming time, Phu Xuan University will continue to invest in technological infrastructure and apply educational solutions that meet training needs. Through this, the university aims to build a modern learning environment, helping students proactively use technology and adapt to changes in the age of AI.
