- Custom semiconductor curriculum for Vietnamese students, aligned with AI and system chip industry needs
- Strong focus on job-ready skills and field training, including internships and hands-on lab experience
- Industry-academia tie-up with IDUS2Silicon, ensuring direct exposure to real-world semiconductor projects
Gumi University has partnered with IDUS2Silicon to launch a customized education program aimed at training semiconductor professionals and attracting international students from Vietnam. The agreement was signed on February 4 at Gumi University’s main campus and officially announced on February 5.
Under the partnership, the two institutions will jointly run a demand-driven curriculum aligned with the needs of the AI semiconductor industry. The program will combine classroom learning with hands-on field training, internships, and industry exposure, helping students build practical, job-ready skills.
IDUS2Silicon is a system semiconductor design company and the Korean subsidiary of Silicon Valley-based Uniquoy, which operates across Korea, Vietnam, Japan, India, and the US. The company proposed an education model that allows Vietnamese university students, who have completed three years of a four-year degree, to move directly into on-site training at Gumi University.
Gumi University was selected for its strong infrastructure in semiconductor design education and its ability to train talent that meets real industry needs. As part of the agreement, the university plans to admit over 20 Vietnamese students into a one-year intensive program, offering 10 specialized subjects requested by IDUS2Silicon.
