This is not a complete list of available universities and higher education institutions in Vietnam. Students should do thorough research on the university they wish to apply to before applying.

Student Cost of Living

Now accommodation living is on the higher end, and this could be because tuition cost is much lower. Students who live on campus can expect to budget for $1,200 – $1,6000 per semester. So that’s $1,200 per 6 months. Which comes to $200 per month for accommodation alone.

For a single student budgeting for $500 will allow them to live fairly comfortable in Ho Chi Minh City or even Hanoi. But the $500 per month is at the lowest minimum rate, this is for a student who is purely focused on their studies and does not intend to venture out into the city life too much. If a student wants to experience more around Vietnam, then budgeting around $1,300 would allow them to sit very comfortably.

Annual Tuition Cost

Annual tuition cost at an academic accredited university is one of the lowest in the world. Students can expect to spend only $200 USD per year. That may just be about the lowest we’ve come across as of yet. Now the $200 per year is for the public institutions, private institutions will charge around $2,000 per academic year… which is still very reasonable.

Languages Spoken in Vietnam

What is the main language spoken in Vietnam? Vietnamese is the language international students should learn a basic understanding of. The reason being is that learning a country’s native language is a sign of respect as well as the fact that students can receive full ride scholarships to any university in that country. All because the student knowns the native language. Other languages spoken in Vietnam includes French, Chinese, Khmer, and English. There are many different languages spoken in Vietnam.
