Student Life & Environment

UEH is an urban, multi-site institution rather than a single self-contained campus. Student services are available through the Department of Student Affairs and an electronic service portal. Published support areas include academic advising, orientation, counselling, disability support, diversity and inclusion, visa assistance, scholarships and student loans, health and wellness activities, and an English Zone. Administrative requests such as proof of enrolment, transcripts, duplicate diplomas, and job-recommendation letters can also be handled through the student-service system. Career support connects students with job and internship opportunities, employer recruitment, labour-market information, workshops, field trips, company visits, career orientation, and the UEH Sharing career-fair series. These services provide a structured route into work experience, although UEH does not publish guaranteed placement or salary outcomes on the cited page. Housing availability should be checked early. UEH’s 2026 international scholarship policy includes free dormitory accommodation for recipients during the official study period and any supported Vietnamese-language preparation, but this benefit should not be interpreted as a universal housing guarantee. Other students may need private accommodation or university-affiliated short-term lodging and should consider travel between teaching sites.

Location & Surroundings

UEH’s principal city locations are spread across Ho Chi Minh City. The Department of Student Affairs identifies Campus A at 59C Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Campus B at 279 Nguyen Tri Phuong, and the Nguyen Van Linh campus in Binh Hung. Because teaching and services are distributed, students should confirm where their classes are held and plan commuting and accommodation accordingly. Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s major commercial centre, giving students access to a dense environment of companies, public institutions, cultural venues, food, retail, and professional events. The central-city campuses place students within an active urban setting, while Nguyen Van Linh is farther from the historic centre. Daily experience is therefore likely to vary by assigned site. UEH also operates UEH Mekong in Vinh Long. That campus belongs to the same institution but is outside Ho Chi Minh City and serves a different regional context. Applicants should not treat Ho Chi Minh City and UEH Mekong admissions, programs, scholarship provisions, or living arrangements as automatically interchangeable.

Costs & Career Outcomes

For 2026 full-time undergraduate study, UEH publishes different tuition bands by curriculum and teaching language. Internationally accredited advanced programs are listed at VND 1.4 million per credit in Vietnamese, with multipliers for English-taught and practical coursework; indicative annual totals range from about VND 50–55 million for Vietnamese delivery to VND 65–75 million for fully English delivery. Other advanced programs are listed at VND 1.2 million per Vietnamese-taught credit, with indicative annual totals of roughly VND 40–60 million depending on language. Professional-qualification, international double-degree, honours, and Asia Co-op routes have separate pricing, with some starting around VND 70 million annually or reaching approximately VND 80 million. These are 2026 published estimates, not fixed whole-degree prices, and applicants should confirm the exact program and credit load. UEH’s 2026 international scholarship scheme offers 100 full-time awards across undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. Published benefits include full curriculum tuition, dormitory accommodation, supported Vietnamese preparation, and a VND 2.6 million monthly living allowance during official semesters. Awards are competitive, allocated first-come-first-served among eligible candidates, and exclude items such as retakes and courses outside the curriculum. Career services provide vacancy and internship connections, recruitment activity, workshops, company visits, field trips, and career fairs. No verified graduate salary or placement rate was found, so prospective students should assess program-specific internships and professional links directly.
