APIE core courses have been integrated into the formal curriculum at Vietnam-Japan University (VJU). Starting in October 2024, third-year Computer Science and Engineering (BCSE) students are taking APIE’s Understanding the Internet and Operating the Internet courses as part of their required Computer Networks and Communications class.

This collaboration marks a key milestone in the APIE Program’s mission to foster digital talent across Asia-Pacific. Students who complete these courses will earn academic credits and digital badges through the Inxignia platform, helping them build a learning portfolio for future opportunities.

The integration at VJU also creates new opportunities for students to participate in APIE initiatives, such as the camps and internship programs, connecting them with peers, researchers, and professionals across the region.

This is one of the results of SOI Asia’s engagements with Vietnamese institutions. After the MoU between VJU and SOI Asia (via Keio University) was signed at the end of 2023, EBA and APIE teams visited VJU facilities in Hanoi to brainstorm and draft potential collaboration.
