FPT University is a private university in Vietnam. FPT University is a member of FPT Group and has campuses in Hanoi (main), Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang.
Established in 2013, headquartered in Hoa Lac High-tech Park, the FPT High School is a boarding school run under the international boarding school model.
When founded in 2006, Associate Professor Truong Gia Binh, FPT Corp chairman of management board, was in charge of FPT University chairman, while Dr Le Truong Tung was the first dean. It is the first private university to be opened in Vietnam.
Dr Le Truong Tung was in the position of FPT University Rector as well as chairman of BoD in 2011. Dam Quang Minh has been rector since September 2014, the youngest rector in Vietnam at that time. There are currently 20,000 students at FPT University studying full academic bachelor, partnership programme, postgraduate, polytechnic and high school.
All instructors are required to have two years' working experience in the IT industry, and have to sit for an entrance examination. Foreign language teaching would form an integral part of the curriculum, and they aim to recruit native-speaking foreign language teachers and subject area teachers who can deliver their lessons in English. After one year of language preparation, a foreign language would be used as the medium of instruction for all courses. English would not be the only such language used; the Vietnam Software Association are working with the school's embedded software faculty to establish a programme in Japanese.
