Hot Majors Expected to Remain at the Top
Along with the high interest from students, many teachers predict that hot majors will continue to be in high demand, and scores may even increase slightly due to the increase in high school graduation exam scores in 2024.
According to Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hong Hue, Deputy Director of the Admissions Office at the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, the admission scores for the Information Technology major are expected to remain at the top. "We are currently living in the 4.0 era, and all aspects of life require the use of information technology. Therefore, the demand for human resources in this field is very high, especially for those with high qualifications. The popularity of this major has not shown any signs of decline. Not only at the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, but also at all universities that offer Information Technology programs, the admission scores for these majors have consistently ranked at the top in recent years, and this year may be no exception," Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hong Hue said.
Regarding the Marketing major, many teachers predict that admission scores for this major will not decrease but may even increase slightly due to its growing popularity. "Marketing is a major of the present and future. In the current context of digital transformation, Marketing, especially digital Marketing, will have a high demand for human resources in the coming years, especially for those with high qualifications. This year, the Digital Marketing major at the Banking Academy also attracted a lot of attention from students, with admission scores reaching 39.9/40 under the admission method using high school graduation exam scores," said Dr. Tran Manh Ha, Director of the Admissions Office at the Banking Academy.
According to Mr. Nguyen Quang Trung, Deputy Director of the Admissions Office at the University of Commerce, "Marketing has been a very popular major at the University of Commerce for many years, with high admission scores.
