VinUni students who would like to study at a university that does not have an exchange agreement with VinUni can choose to personally plan and finance their studies abroad. It will be their responsibility to apply to the university abroad as well as to ensure that all the practical matters are taken care of. Students will apply directly to the institution or apply for an external scholarship/grant program. Most universities accept students directly as “Visiting/Exchange Students” on a fee-paying basis or scholarship basis. In this case, the applications normally do not go through VinUni, and admission decisions are made by the host institutions or the external scholarship programs. Before committing to a program, students should research carefully the program and get a full understanding of the Leave of Absence policy or the credit transfer policy at VinUni. Students will need to get approval in advance from VinUni before joining this program. Students can apply for the credit transfer when they return to VinUni, and the review adheres to the present protocol and process.
Apart from programs offered by the Global Exchange Office, VinUni students can also apply for exchange programs with external source of funding such as:
