| Abstract | The industrialization of Vietnam ensures the growth of the nation. This does not always positively affect environmental and social conditions. A key factor to cope with sustainability challenges is to raise the people's awareness. The educational system can have tremendous influence on this. This paper gives an overview about existing educational structures in Vietnam and proposes a new curriculum for manufacturing education. The curriculum takes place at Vietnamese-German University and is supposed to attract students through its synergy between theory and practice. It aims to enhance both technical knowledge and sustainability aspects. Courses are designed for active and practice-based learning. Students analyse resource efficiency of industrial processes, learn how to reduce waste in a Learning Factory and develop sustainable business models. For its orientation in sustainability the program has received special attention from industrial companies, who expressed their need for graduates with novel qualification profiles. As a result, scholarships were offered to students studying this curriculum and more than 50% of the students of the first batch were recruited before finishing their studies. (C) 2016 The Authors.
