In the 17^th of June, students from cycle 5 IT program, joint program between HCMUS and AUT, New Zealand successfully presented their capstone project. 

Capstone project is one of the courses that seniors have to “deal with” before they graduate. Students receive actual requirements from other domestic and international companies and begin to deploy these requirements into software or services. The total time to complete these task is 6 months 

Since 100% students qualified the IELTS certificates, they could easily write report and present the whole projects in English in front of the capstone councils from both of the HCMUS professors and AUT professors.

Students shared us that besides the technical knowledge they had learned, the most important skills that they gained from capstone was English skill, communicating skill, negotiating skill, team working, time managing and resolving problems.

Mr. Pham Trung Hieu, technical manager from LogiGear said “I’m impressed by these projects. Students amazed me not only by their technical skills but also how they present in English, it is quite smooth and fluent, I suppose”. Along with Mr. Hieu Ms. Thanh, HR expert, said “ I am here to look for potential applicant and after a few groups, I saw the prospective in their eyes”.
