Data Analytics specializations In 2015, 4.4 million new data engineering jobs, 1.9 million in US alone but not enough talent, only one third of that will be filled Gartners By 2018, in US, shortage of 1.5 million managers and analysts who can understand and make decisions using big data. There is 50%-60% gap between supply and demand. McKinsey Global Institute Global shortage of data analyst is the main motivation for the FPT Technology Research Institute to offer a brand new Data Analytics specialization track for the program. Following this track, students are not only equiped with solid data analytics skill, including database and data engineering techniques specific for Big Data, data mining and text mining, and business intelligence fundamentals, but they also spend months in On-the-Job Training through real-life industrial data analytics projects of FPT Technology Research Institute. The thesis work, for this track, are based also on an industrial data analytics project. Instructors are data scientists of FPT - Ph.D. graduates from US, Europe, Japan,... who work daily on real-life data analytics projects for world-wide customers in US, Japan, Europe,... Being attached closely with industry, students will access to industrial grade data for realistic hands on experiences.
for Vietnamese Students in 2015 Zoom in: Information Technology Project Management Objectives: The objectives of many of the graduate of the course is to become a software project manager. It is therefore reasonable to start the course with a view from the front-seat of project manager, to understand the whole picture, as well as the role of each component, of information technology project management. The components, pedagogically categorized by Project Management Institute, are: Project Integration Management, Project Scope Management Project Time Management, Project Cost Management Project Quality Management, Project Human Resource Management Project Communications Management, Project Risk Management Project Procurement Management, Project Stakeholder Management Project Management Process, Project Closing The knowledge and experience gained in this course will provide solid base for advancing into further study of components of information technology project management. This module is recommended by ACM and IEEE. Pedagogy highlights: Strong emphasis on practice and industrial exposure, project-based learning: 14 units of theoretical lecture 12 units of real-life case study presentations from PMP cetrified industrial experts 34 units of students presentations which requires at least 34 units of homework, readings, team work on group projects. PMP certification exam is final exam student pass the module when they get PMP certification.
for Vietnamese Students in 2015 Zoom in: Software Quality Management Objectives: To be a software project manager and to be responsible for high quality software products, it is essential to understand how to rigorously control the quality of software, within the project limitation of time and other resource. The modules engage students in active exploration of the following topics: Defining software quality and assuring software quality Engineering of software quality, designing tests for software Management of tests, prevention of errors, improvement of software engineering processes Software inspection Formal method for software quality management Students are also exposed to a varieties of real case studies from industries, such as discussion on Test Automation & SaaS for Testing, Testing for Agile, ISO 20000 to SaaS, CASE tool quality, CMMI, Verification & Pairwise Testing, Finally, advanced topics like IEEE 730-2014, SEMAT as a QA framework will be presented.

Selected students presentations are series of tutorials videos, uploaded to Youtube for peer grading.
for Vietnamese Students in 2015 Zoom in: Software Configuration Management Objectives: One of the main differences between large scale software projects and small software works is rigorous configuration management. This modules prepare students to become software manager who can manage effectively large scale software project, with ability to: plan a configuration management, from defining and listing configuration item, baseline, versions; do surveillance, measure and audit of configuration; control the requesting, evaluating and approving of changes in configurations; implement changes, control deviations and waivers; accounting of configuration; manage release of software products. This module is recommended by ACM and IEEE as part of master of software engineering degree. Pedagogy highlights: Project-based learning, where students go through a complete life cycle of a simulated large scale software project. Game-based learning, students compete with each other on ensuring product integrity of the simulated large scale software project.
for Vietnamese Students in 2015 Zoom in: Software Requirement, Architect & Design Objectives: From coder to designer is a transformation of career, to higher level of abstraction and much more powerful knowledge and skill. Deep understanding of software architect allow one to work with large scale enterprise software and information technology systems. In fact, certain software projects today require engineer having architect certification, such as TOGAF. This module plays an essential role in the course, by ensuring that every graduate must possess the ability to: model the objectives of software system from requirement ensure the quality of requirement model the software system components and their role, from use cases model the system functionality, statically and dynamically understand system architect and deployment diagram analyse the quality of system architect design software system, using common software design strategy and method Key concepts, such as UML, Object-Oriented Paradigm, Model Driven Principles, famous Design Patterns are explored. This module is recommended by ACM and IEEE as part of master of software engineering degree. Pedagogy highlights: Project-based learning, where students create design for an enterprise system TOGAF certification exam is final exam student pass the module when they get TOGAF certification.
My future plan is to get a well paid job hopefully in Hanoi and build up my career. I remember visiting Hoa Lac campus lately and what I saw was unbelievable - FPT is really growing fast. What really caught my attention about this course is its field. MSE in Project Management in full. I've always dreamed of having a Project Management certificate for my masters degree and when FPT came up with the course proposal, it was hard to resist. Reason being FPT corporation (as a whole) is one of the fastest growing organisation is Vietnam and Asia at large. What I like most about this course mainly is what it entails. My career goal is to become not just a good but one of the greatest Project Managers in the world and I do hope this course can get me to my dream land. One of the major advantage of this course is we (students) get to actually speak with experienced project managers in Vietnam, get the real (practical and theoretical) view of a project and in the end, we gain lots of ideas from them. McNoah Afolabi, FPT Master of Software Engineering student I am now working for a company in Hanoi that develop software for foreign clients. I choose Master of Software Engineering in FPT because FPT is the biggest cooperation in Vietnam and whatever FPT offers assures quality with international standard. What I hope, from this course, is to improve my skill set and to have a better edge in my working environment. The classes are very interactive. I so far have the privilege to interact with software industry experts and professionals and share from the wealth of their experiences. Olaoluwa Okunniyi, FPT Master of Software Engineering student
