On 12 January 2026, a delegation from the University of Sciences, Hue University (HUSC), visited SunEdu Education Joint Stock Company at Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Ho Chi Minh City to discuss opportunities for cooperation in education and training, particularly in semiconductor chip design.

The HUSC delegation was led by Assoc. Prof. Vo Thanh Tung, Rector, and included Dr. Bui Quang Vu, Secretary of the Party Committee; Dr. Tran Thanh Luong, Head of the Office of Academic and Student Affairs; and MSc. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Head of the Office of Planning, Finance and Facilities. SunEdu was represented by Mr. Truong Cong Minh Hien, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Luu Hue Tien, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Science and Training Council.

During the meeting, the two sides introduced their respective functions, strengths, and development orientations, and discussed potential areas of cooperation, with a particular focus on training highly qualified human resources in semiconductor chip design.

SunEdu has extensive experience in semiconductor chip design training for enterprises and manufacturing facilities in the electronics industry. Its team of lecturers and experts brings strong professional expertise and a thorough understanding of practical manufacturing requirements.

As part of the proposed cooperation, SunEdu and HUSC plan to organize training courses in Physical Design (PD) for HUSC students and trainees interested in semiconductor chip design.

Physical Design is a key stage in the integrated circuit (IC) design process, in which the results of logic design are translated into a physical implementation. This stage involves the placement and optimization of design components and the application of appropriate technologies to ensure that the system operates reliably and efficiently while meeting scalability requirements. As a critical link between logic design and physical implementation, Physical Design helps ensure that a chip meets its functional specifications and can operate effectively under real-world conditions.

HUSC will assign lecturers with relevant expertise and a strong sense of responsibility to participate in the training program alongside SunEdu. Through this collaboration, the two sides aim to equip the first cohort of trainees with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and competencies required by the semiconductor industry's labor market. The initiative is expected to strengthen university–industry collaboration in education and training and contribute to the development of a highly skilled workforce for high-tech industries.
