The SIM Master's program has a history of nearly 30 years, developed through IFI's collaboration with La Rochelle University in France. It is one of the first two Master's programs in Information Technology in Vietnam recognized by the Francophone University Agency (AUF) as an "international training program." It is a tradition and a reputable brand of IFI and Vietnam National University, Hanoi in general. To date, over 1000 graduates have completed this Master's program, many of whom have continued their studies at the doctoral level or worked at various universities, research institutes, and large enterprises not only in Vietnam but also in developed countries such as France, Belgium, Canada, and more. Particularly, the SIM Master's program contributes significantly to the internationalization of Vietnam National University, Hanoi with a diverse network of students from various countries worldwide, including France, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Congo, Haiti, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and others.
