The project is under research.
As part of my engineering degree, I am required to complete an international experience lasting at least 12 weeks, either as an internship in a company or a semester at a university. I prefer the university option, as it will strengthen my academic skills while immersing me in a new cultural environment. I am currently researching institutions that align with my goals in cybersecurity/cryptography and software engineering. Based on this, here are the universities I’m aiming to join:
INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY OF CAMBODIA
Firstly, I’m aiming for ITC’s International Program in Artificial Intelligence Engineering & Cybersecurity (engineer’s degree / master’s level). The program, backed by international partners, combines advanced computer science with a strong security/crypto focus (information security, applied AI, etc.) and fits as a third-year exchange semester. It directly connects with my Cyber & Cryptography apprenticeship (crypto components integration, PQC, C++/Linux) and will strengthen my system security and applied cryptography skills in an international setting.
DD Polytechnique Ho Chi Minh Ville
Secondly, I’m aiming for a double degree at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT — Polytechnique Ho Chi Minh Ville) at the master’s/engineer’s level. This path would pair advanced computer engineering with a strong cybersecurity/cryptography focus—secure systems, applied crypto (including post-quantum), and reliability at scale—ideally as a third-year exchange track. It connects directly with my Cyber & Cryptography apprenticeship (C++/Linux, crypto module integration, performance engineering) and would sharpen my impact on system security and applied cryptography in a dynamic Southeast Asian tech ecosystem.
National Tsing Hua University
Thirdly, I’m aiming for a semester exchange at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) rather than a double degree. The plan is to pair advanced computer engineering coursework with a strong cybersecurity/cryptography emphasis—secure systems, applied crypto (including post-quantum), and reliability at scale—embedded in a leading East Asian research environment. This exchange directly connects with my Cyber & Cryptography apprenticeship (C++/Linux, crypto-module integration, performance engineering) and would sharpen my impact on system security and applied cryptography while gaining intercultural agility in a high-tech ecosystem.
