Advanced Mathematics Level B The first part of the course provides an introductory knowledge of linear algebra and some applications of linear algebra in solving systems of equations. This course covers the more advanced aspects of engineering mathematics common to all first engineering degrees and differs from texts of similar names in its emphasis on specific topics, the systematic development of basic theory before making applications, and the inclusion of new material.
Ho Chi Minh Ideologies This course consists of 6 chapters, which provide students with basic knowledge about concepts, objects, research methods and the learning meanings of Ho Chi Minh ideologies; this subject focuses on the basis, and process of formation and development of Ho Chi Minh ideologies; explanation of Ho Chi Minh's ideologies on: National independence and socialism; The Communist Party of Vietnam and the State of the people, by the people, for the people; great national and international solidarity; culture, people; morality. History of Vietnam Communist Party The Vietnam Communist Party History module is part of the knowledge block, which provides students with a systematic and knowledge base about the life of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the revolutionary leadership process from 1930 to 2020. This course will provide students with a broad understanding of the various steps in the analytical process such as sampling, sample preparation, chemical and instrumental analysis, evaluation, interpretation and reporting of analytical results.
Students will know how to understand the features of taxonomy and the arrangement of species, taxon, and taxa. Introduction to Sociology Sociology is a science that studies the general laws of the existence, functioning and development of society, social relations and the interaction between the basic components of society. Society Science provides people with knowledge and understanding of: social affairs and individual behavior patterns, the functioning of the social systems in which we live, and helps us understand why social changes and how we can change society.
This module plays an important role in forming one of the soft skill systems for students as it contributes to the improvement of career capabilities at all levels.
Fundamental Courses .1 Required courses
Water Quality Management in Aquaculture The course addresses the issues of water resources used in aquaculture; physical and chemical properties and the effects of these factors on aquatic life. The course also equips students with basic knowledge of chemical analysis, the use of test kits to analyze pond water quality parameters, and methods for assessing water quality. Zooplankton and Benthos The course provides students with basic knowledge about: i/ General information about zooplankton and zoobenthos, and the.
Ichtiology The overall focus of the course is on providing knowledge about ichthyology such as external morphology, anatomy, taxonomy, evolution and geographical distribution of fish. Specialized biochemistry for fisheries The course covers basic metabolism and cellular energy in aquatic animals. The main content of the subject explains the biochemical reactions that occur in the bodies of aquatic animals such as the absorption of nutrients, the elimination of substances or the exchange of nutrients and energy of the body with the living environment.
General Microbiology The course is designed to provide students with general knowledge about the main groups of microorganisms (acellular agents, prokaryotes and eukaryotes), as well as cell structures and reproduction of those microorganisms. The course also introduces microbiological physiological characteristics, nutritional requirements and environmental factors that influence the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Physiology of Aquatic Animals The general focus of the course is to provide knowledge on the activation mechanism and functional role of internal organs in aquatic animals (physiology of blood, respiratory physiology, excretion, nutrition and metabolism, reproduction…).
Nutrition and feed technology in aquaculture The course provides basic knowledge about the role of different nutrients in aqua feeds and their impact on the performance of aquatic animal species. Introduction to aquatic animal pathology The aim of the course on general disease in aquatic organisms is to introduce the students to general knowledge both within aquatic pathology and pharmacology, basic concepts within pathology and immunology, infectious and non-infectious diseases in aquatic animals. In addition to the theoretical content, the course also provides case studies to equip students with the skills to apply the law to solve problems related to fishing practices.
Introduction to the preservation and processing of aquatic products The course is designed to provide students with general knowledge on the preservation processes of aquatic raw materials and aquatic end products; processing processes of traditional aquatic products and aquatic products with added value; methods for developing new water products from raw materials.
Specialized Courses .1 Required courses
Freshwater Aquaculture Techniques The course aims to provide students with operating skills and management methods for popular freshwater aquaculture systems in Vietnam, the advantages and disadvantages of each culture system and the main factors affecting the effectiveness of these systems, such as geographical, climatic, economic and human resources. Moreover, the course also provides exercises on building technical procedures and solutions to problems in the reality of fish seed production. In addition, the course also introduces technological developments in the world in the field of aquaculture engineering that can be applied according to the conditions and current status of aquaculture development in Vietnam to best utilize the potential and competitive advantages of the aquaculture sector of the country to guarantee.
Field practice for freshwater aquaculture The course includes practical content on the techniques and management of the production of freshwater aquaculture products of high economic value.
