No. There is only one form for all applicants to VinUni. You can select the program that you wish to pursue. You can select up to three programs and tell us your order of preference. When we evaluate your application, we will first assess if you might be a good fit for the program of your first choice. If our faculty believe that your interests and talents may be better suited for another program that is your second or third choice, we will offer you that choice.
- We understand that this can be a difficult choice to make, especially since you most likely don’t know what the particular program entails or what the careers or opportunities in those fields might be like. We invite you to learn more about these programs by visiting the VinUni website https://vinuni.edu.vn/. If you are unsure of the program but have an idea of the College that you wish to attend, you have the option to apply “Undecided” in the College of Business and Management and College of Engineering and Computer Science. We will do our best to coach and guide you in making the final decision when the time comes to do so.
- At VinUni we believe in choices and flexibility: choices for students even after they have made one already. If after a semester or two at VinUni you decide that the program that you are in, is not right for you, we will work with you to find one that fuels your passion and helps you be successful.
The Early Admission cycle is for those applicants who have a keen desire to attend VinUni, and would like to have an assurance of getting into VinUni at the earliest opportunity.
All applicants who meet the minimum eligibility threshold but are not successful in the Early Admission cycle will be automatically added to the pool of applicants in the Regular Admission cycle.
The Regular Admission cycle will involve the same review process as Early Admission.
