Foreigners who want to enroll

meet the criteria set by the Vietnamese Government with regard to the knowledge
of foreign languages.

To facilitate the
process of enrolment, VNUHCM’s member universities have adopted various
qualification criteria to enroll foreign students in the universities’
international joint training programs. It could be high school results, Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) scores or American College Testing (ACT) scores.

The international programs at
VNUHCM’s
member universities meet students’ various demands. The universities have taken
the training quality at a good value a top priority, and their programs are the
same as those in foreign countries or are tweaked by the universities and their
partners.

The collaboration with their
partners also takes various shapes, allowing students to study in Viet Nam for
one, two, three, or four years.

The average fees
for foreigners at VNUHCM’s member universities range from VND80 million to VND90 million
(US$3,467-3,900) per year, while the living cost in HCM City is around VND10
million ($433) a month.

Students are likely to benefit from
studying in a multicultural environment and enhancing their competitiveness,
leading to greater job opportunities.

full use of VNUHCM’s modern facilities.

The international joint training programs
offer various majors, including the following: trade, management, law, life

students at VNUHCM’s member universities from Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar,
the Philippines, South Korea, China, Japan, France, Canada, the US, and other
countries.

The universities aim to continually improve
training quality and strengthen tie-ups with more countries to attract more
foreign students.

In this age of global integration, increasing
the number of international joint training programs is one of VNUHCM and its
members’ goals.

Educational reform and
internationalization is becoming a priority in many Southeast Asian countries.

Most universities in these countries,
including Viet Nam, are aware of the great importance of the former.

VNUHCM acknowledges that it is required
to meet the demands of supplying quality human resources, speeding up
international co-operation and improving people’s capacity to live and work in multicultural
environments as a global citizen.

The joint training programs have
helped improve Vietnamese universities’ reputation and the quality of their
teaching and research. 

Attracting foreign students is an
important criterion for higher educational institutions to  enhance their rankings.

It is also a key to consolidating
their position and brand nationally and globally.
