Remember your first days at our university? Right in orientation week, every new FPTU student is introduced to an idea that stays with them throughout university life: the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is not a token lecture, it is the first step in FPT University’s commitment that sustainability education must be meaningful, relevant and for ALL students.<\/p>\n

A university-wide commitment: the Sustainable Development Policy and six years with THE Impact Rankings.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

FPT University has issued its SDG Policy (FPTU SDG Policy), a comprehensive document of 9 chapters and more than 40 articles, as a statement and commitment tied to its mission, guiding how the whole university contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals. That commitment is backed by action: 2026 is the sixth year the university has submitted to the THE Impact Rankings, a whole-university effort involving leadership, faculty, staff and students. Across the five editions with published results, its standing has risen steadily: from the global top 1000 to the top 300.<\/p>\n

Every new student learns about the SDGs: the OTP101 orientation programme<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To make \u201cfor every student\u201d real rather than just a phrase, SDG content is built into the official orientation course in syllabus OTP101, a module taken by all new students.<\/p>\n

For the past five years, every incoming cohort has met the Sustainable Development Goals from the very start, understanding why what they are about to study connects to the shared challenges of society and the world.<\/p>\n

A policy of embedding the SDGs in every programme<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Beyond orientation week, Article <\/strong>35<\/strong>, Chapter VIII of FPT University’s SDG Policy (created 2019, reviewed 2025)<\/strong> sets a clear principle: the Sustainable Development Goals must be integrated into the curricula of all programmes. Whether you study IT, business, languages or design, your learning journey is designed to connect with the SDGs in a way that fits your field. This is a university-wide policy, not the initiative of a single faculty.<\/p>\n

Meaningful learning through experience: community projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sustainability education only becomes meaningful when students act on it. That is why our university encourages students to join community projects \u2014 applying their disciplinary knowledge to real local problems and to groups who need support. Through each project, students learn that the SDGs are not just 17 coloured squares on a poster, but concrete changes they can make.<\/p>\n

Project supporting digital transformation for local government authorities at two levels in areas surrounding the campus: FU Hanoi, FU Da Nang, FU Ho Chi Minh: SDGs: 4, 16, 17.<\/p>\n

The project organizing lectures and practical exercises on AI and STEM for thousands of teachers and students from primary to high school (K-12): SDGs: 4, 10, 11, 17<\/p>\n

Project bringing traditional music to the community: SDG4, SDG 11.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: At FPT University, every student is a proactively developing citizen who advances the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From an institution-level policy, the orientation course for every new student and the curriculum of each programme to community projects, FPT University builds a learning journey in which sustainability is not an \u201cextra\u201d subject but part of becoming an FPTU graduate. Learning to excel in a profession and learning to help build a sustainable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
