Military Technical Academy plans to resume civilian enrollment

On the afternoon of January 20, the Military Technical Academy announced that 8 majors are expected to reopen the civilian system, including information technology, computer science, information security, electronics and telecommunications engineering, control and automation engineering, mechatronic engineering, mechanical engineering and construction engineering.

These are all fields of study with training strengths and proven quality.

Military schools have been recruiting civilian students since 2002. Students are not exempted from tuition fees or given jobs like the military system. However, from 2017 to 2019, the schools stopped following Resolution 19 of the Party Central Committee to implement the policy of innovation, reorganizing military units, and overcoming the situation where there are schools training civilian students many times more than military students, but the teaching staff is still from the military.

Recently, facing the difficulty of high-quality human resources, while military schools are qualified and have strengths in many fields, the Ministry of National Defense has developed a project to continue training high-quality human resources to serve industrialization and modernization from 2025. In particular, the ministry proposed that 8 affiliated schools be allowed to enroll students in the civilian system.

The Military Technical Academy is a multidisciplinary, national key technical school, with the mission of training high-quality human resources in many fields of technology and engineering.

In 2024, the academy will recruit 540 students through 4 methods. The benchmark scores range from 25.46 to 27.71 points, the highest for female candidates in the North, the lowest for male candidates in the South.
