The approval of the project “Renovation in Vietnamese higher education” by the Prime Minister (according to the Resolution No. 14/2005/NQ-CP on November 2, 2005) is considered to be one of the most outstanding educational events in 2005. With a persistent 15-year strategy (from 2006 to 2020), the government aims at advancing the entire system so it can be compared with that of other areas and approach to international education. At a result, the Education and Training department assigned the University of Information Technology to conduct the Advanced Program with the Information System major in 2007 (according to Resolution No. 7581/QD-BGDDT), including following goals:

To establish higher education curriculum which can approach to standard quality of advanced universities in the world
To promote interaction and integration in training as well as scientific research; synchronously improve the training conduction and expertise of management employees and teaching employees
To facilitate students in the progress of systematically acquiring and improving knowledge; developing reasoning ability, enhancing vocational skills and foreign language proficiency so that students can address society needs after graduation
To construct and upgrade facilities at the aim of serving training and increasing science technology research along with international collaboration.

The success of this model can lead to a breakthrough in completely renovating training program of the University and conducting effective international collaboration.
