However, some traditional majors, the core of the industry, or that Vietnam has strengths and a large demand for labor resources, but candidates are less interested in, such as the Materials, Mechanics, and Manufacturing majors. Machinery, Textiles, Environment, Chemistry, Refrigeration... The reason is that these industries are less mentioned in the media, candidates think that this is not a field that belongs to the top "Hi-Tech".

In fact, traditional fields will be indispensable in the industry, no matter what stage of development. Therefore, the need for human resources, especially high quality human resources for these industries is very large. Besides, the fields of study that Vietnam is strong in such as Garment, Footwear, Agricultural Product Preservation... will always need a good labor source with attractive salaries. The statistics of Hanoi University of Science and Technology on the employment and income of alumni of these majors also speak for themselves.
