International university provides equal opportunities for high-quality education

However, it is crucial to consider the cost aspect of high-quality education, which originates standards from well-established education systems worldwide. This concern remains an issue that many parents and students worry about, not only in distant provinces, but also in central cities.

To maintain quality infrastructure and teaching staff that meet international standards, international universities tend to invest more than usual, approaching the levels seen in foreign institutions in certain aspects. Meanwhile, the average income of Vietnamese citizens still significantly differs from the overall average of people in developed countries.

Opportunities for all talents

Understanding the rightful aspirations of parents and students with progressive visions, many international universities have implemented programmes to support students in accessing financial aid mechanisms to pursue studies at their institutions. Among these, the British University Vietnam (BUV) stands out with its annual scholarship fund dedicated to the mission “Here for the future of Vietnam”.

According to BUV's announcement, the scholarship fund is awarded annually to a diverse range of domestic and international students, with various criteria tailored to each group of candidates.
