INTEGRATED DEGREE PROGRAMS

General Information

Integrated degree programs (based on agreements between VinUni and a partner university): Students who are accepted into this program will have the opportunity to earn two bachelor’s degrees or a bachelor’s and a master’s degree – one from VinUni and the second degree from a partner university abroad.

The program consists of two phases in which VinUni students will study Phase 1 at VinUni and Phase 2 at a partner university overseas. At the end of both phases, they will get two degrees, one from VinUni and another from the partner university. The modules are often in the form of 3+2, 4+1, 3.5+2 for Bachelor’s – Master’s programs and 2+2 or 2.5 +1.5 for Bachelor’s – Bachelor’s programs.

Such fast-tracking students take classes towards their Master’s while earning their Bachelor’s degree, helping to save significant costs of attendance and enabling one to graduate up to 12 months sooner. In addition, accelerated degree pathways are intended to build on the momentum you currently have as an undergraduate in an effort to create a seamless progression toward higher degree attainment in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
