Pursuing Three Master's Programs Simultaneously

Why Three Programs?

When I graduated with a BSc in Data Science from USTH in 2025, I realized that my research interests lie at the intersection of multiple fields:

  1. AI & IoT (HUST) — to dive deep into AI applications in biomedicine, specifically antimicrobial resistance prediction
  2. Space Sciences (USTH) — to continue Earth Observation research, a field I started during my internship at VNSC
  3. Teaching Methodology of Informatics (HNUE) — to teach and share knowledge effectively

Each program complements the others: AI is the tool, Space is the application, Teaching is how I share.

Time Management

Principles

  • Prioritize the nearest deadline
  • Leverage overlap between courses (e.g., ML assignments at HUST can use satellite data from USTH)
  • Start thesis research early, don’t wait until the final year

Tools

  • Notion — task and deadline management
  • Google Calendar — class and meeting schedules
  • Git/GitHub — code and research document management

Advice

If you’re considering multiple programs simultaneously:

  • Ensure the programs complement each other
  • Talk to your advisors at each program beforehand
  • Be prepared to sacrifice leisure time
  • Find ways to share research outputs across programs
