Online open learning resources

With the mission of “providing global competitiveness for a wide range of learners,” FPT University has strongly implemented the internationalization of education and the digital transformation of education and training. This transformation is realized through the integration of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) from the Coursera platform into the curriculum, providing FPT University students with equal access to global education through courses designed by the world’s leading universities, companies, and corporations. This digital education transformation at FPT University also helps students develop self-learning skills—an essential ability for lifelong learning. Each student is required to complete 20% of their courses on Coursera. Every faculty member completes at least one 30-hour online course per year to continuously improve their professional expertise and skills for their work. FPT University faculty and students will be able to register for courses and receive certificates on Coursera free of charge.

As of July 2023, FPT University had completed:

  • Over 1,962,000 learning hours on the Coursera platform
  • Over 9 million lessons

In 2023, for the third year, FPTU granted 600 free Coursera online learning accounts to alumni in the fourth round.

With a spirit of lifelong learning, thousands of accounts were granted to the school’s alumni in the three previous rounds. Alumni can register for any of the more than 9,889 diverse courses available on the Coursera platform. This platform features course materials from top universities worldwide, such as StanfordYale, and Duke University, helping alumni not only enhance their knowledge but also gain a new method of self-study and lifelong learning. After being verified and receiving a participation email, alumni can choose and take any course they are interested in to improve their skills and develop themselves. Additionally, courses are categorized into specific fields (IT, BA, etc.) to help alumni easily filter and consider courses according to their needs.

Alumni can choose from available skill sets to participate in courses that align with their specific skill development pathways they wish to study and improve. This program aims to support FPT University alumni in continuing to learn and develop themselves even after leaving school. Through this, FPT University will always be a knowledge bridge between students and the global education career.
