What are your chances?

The University of Science and Technology of Hanoi, commonly known as USTH or Vietnam–France University, is a public university in Hanoi operating under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. Established in 2009 through Vietnamese government action and intergovernmental cooperation with France, it specializes in science, technology, engineering, health-related, and applied fields. Its academic model draws on the European Bologna structure, with bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral education. Most bachelor’s teaching is in English, although Pharmacy combines English and Vietnamese. Research projects, laboratory work, industry exposure, and international academic partnerships form important parts of the educational approach. USTH is institutionally accredited by France’s HCERES.

Student Life & Environment

Student life at USTH is organized around a specialist science-and-technology community within the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology complex. The university’s current club directory shows both subject-based and general-interest organizations. Examples include astronomy and astrophysics, artificial intelligence, coding, FabLab, science and art, books, environmental action, volunteering, marketing, esports, dance, badminton, volleyball, football, basketball, and a French-oriented La Lisière club. This range gives students options extending beyond their formal program while retaining a visible science and technology emphasis. Student Affairs provides information on scholarships, fees, regulations, health insurance, visas, accommodation, internships, career opportunities, student associations, and alumni activity. Housing requires particular attention. USTH’s accommodation hub says that it does not have a dormitory for internship or exchange students and may instead help international visitors find a VAST guest house or a nearby apartment. Its Vietnamese-student housing information is labeled for 2024–2025, so it should not be assumed to describe 2026–2027 availability. Applicants who need housing should contact Student Affairs before committing, ask whether any VAST accommodation is available for their student category, and obtain current rates and conditions. The official sources do not establish a guaranteed residential-campus experience, meal plan, or university-owned housing allocation for new 2026 entrants.

Location & Surroundings

USTH’s official address is the A21 Building in the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology complex, 18 Hoang Quoc Viet Street, Nghia Do Ward, Hanoi. Admissions and student-service notices also refer to activities in Building 2H at the same complex. This places students in Vietnam’s capital and within the facilities of the country’s national science academy, a setting aligned with USTH’s research and technology focus. The address matters when comparing USTH with institutions that have a self-contained residential campus. Official accommodation information indicates that some students may need to arrange a guest-house room or private apartment rather than live in university-owned housing. International and out-of-area applicants should therefore evaluate housing location, travel time, lease conditions, and daily transport separately from tuition. USTH materials have discussed a future campus at Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park, but the university’s current official pages and 2026 notices continue to publish the Hoang Quoc Viet address. Prospective students should use that address for present planning unless an offer letter or later university notice specifies another teaching location.

Costs & Career Outcomes

USTH’s 2026 bachelor admissions notice charges a non-refundable application fee of VND 500,000 per candidate per application wave. Its tuition table is embedded as an image, so the accessible text does not reliably expose all 2026 entry figures. Students should obtain the program-specific amount from the attached official notice or admissions office before deciding. For context only, the university’s April 2026 credit-fee notice applies to Block 4 of academic year 2025–2026, not automatically to 2026–2027. It lists Vietnamese and international rates respectively of VND 933,000 and VND 1,233,000 per credit for regular bachelor’s programs; VND 1,317,000 and VND 1,667,000 for double-degree programs; and VND 1,667,000 and VND 2,342,000 for Aeronautical Engineering. Pharmacy was listed at VND 1,225,000 per credit for Vietnamese students, with no international rate shown. These are historical reference rates rather than a current-year price commitment. USTH announced a planned VND 16 billion scholarship fund for undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students in 2026–2027. Its first freshman scholarship call covered Vietnamese candidates from the first two 2026 admissions rounds and had a June 3 deadline, so later applicants should check whether another scholarship wave is available. Career preparation is built partly into the curriculum through undergraduate internships. The January 2026 Internship and Job Fair involved more than 40 domestic and international companies and included employer booths, discipline-based networking, CV advice, mock interviews, and skills workshops. These activities demonstrate structured employer engagement, but the available official sources do not provide independently verified salary or placement outcomes.
