INFORMATION SYSTEM

Department of Information Systems and Applied Mathematics, formerly known as Department of Informatics, was established in 1990 simultaneous with the foundation of Center of Informatics and Electronics, the original name of the College of Information and Communication Technology (CICT). In 1997, Department of Information Systems (IS) was established.

Currently, the IS has 11 staffs including of 01 Assoc. Prof., 04 PhDs., and 06 Masters who were graduated in developed countries (e.g., France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia). There are 02 PhD candidates studying in France and 02 postdocs working in England.

The IS has 01 PhD program, 01 master program, and 01 undergraduate program in Information Systems. In training, besides teaching at Can Tho University, we have also supported for many other universities, community colleges, and IT centers in the Mekong Delta region.

In research, we have lead, joined, reviewed, and consulted for projects in many levels such as university, province/city, and the government. We have published papers in both International and National Conferences/Journals. Some papers have been indexed in ISI/Scopus.

In long-life studying, we usually join the international and national conferences to update new knowledge. All staffs are encouraged to join the training courses in IT, English, and teaching skills.
