VGU is a university project from the Vietnamese and German governments. Thus, the tuition fees are substantially subsidized by the two governments and are very attractive considering the high quality education offered.
Our tuition fees remain constant for the whole intake and cover all costs of enrollment and examination during the regular duration of the whole program.
After consideration of the market demand on VGU’s study programs and the experiences during the last three years, VGU has decided to develop a new system for tuition fees and scholarships in 2013. Both the new tuition fees and scholarships only apply for the new intake of 2013! So if you have started in an earlier intake, your original fees and scholarships remain valid during the regular duration of your program. Only if you want to change from an earlier intake to the new intake of 2013, the new tuition fees apply to you also.
Full - time Master Programs | Tuition fee per Semester (VND) |
M.Sc. Sustainable Urban Development (SUP) | 25,000,000 |
The tuition fee also includes the following facility and services (students can choose):
Option 1: Accommodation in a 4-bed room in dormitory + additional shuttle bus on Monday morning from HCMC to Binh Duong and Friday afternoon from Binh Duong to HCMC. Students can live in a 2-bed room against an surcharge of 350.000 VND/month.
OR
Option 2: No dormitory, but daily shuttle bus between HCMC and Binh Duong.
OR
Option 3: Students who don't take either Option 1 or Option 2 will pay 23.000.000 VND per semester.
VGU's merit scholarships are given on annual basis, based on VGU’s intake result for the 1st year and the GPA of the 1st study year (average of all modules in the schedule of the program) for the 2nd year.
The best students will get scholarships as follows:
VGU’s Intake Result = GPA of the Bachelor Degree (weighed 40%) + VGU Entrance Test Score (weighed 30%) + VGU English Test (weighed 30%)
For the 2nd year onwards, in order to be ranked for the scholarships, students must have IELTS 6.0 and a GPA of the first year of at least 7.0. Only exam scores of the first exam will be counted.
VGU extracts a part of its fund for granting scholarships to students with especially difficult financial situation. Specific circumstances shall be decided by the president.
Beside VGU’s scholarships, there might be industry scholarships. However, VGU’s students can only receive one type of scholarship, either VGU’s scholarship or Industry Scholarship, based on the decision of the president.
