Student stories
People who went before you
Three representative stories from students completing a distance degree while holding down a full-time job.
I work office hours so evenings are all I have. Because the lectures are recorded, a busy night just means catching up later — I never fall behind.

FAQ
What students ask us most
Still unsure? Call the hotline or leave your number and an advisor will answer directly.
Yes. Under the 2018 amendment to the Law on Higher Education and Circular 27/2019/TT-BGDĐT, university diplomas no longer state the delivery mode. A degree issued by the university carries the same legal standing for employment, civil service exams and postgraduate study.
No. Distance-learning programs admit students on the basis of their file: a high school, vocational, associate or bachelor qualification already held. You only need to submit valid documents.
All lectures, materials and assignments live on the university's learning platform and can be replayed without limit. Midterm and final exams are held online with proctoring, or at the nearest exam centre, depending on each university's rules.
Tuition is charged per credit and varies by university, typically 8 – 15 million VND per semester. You pay semester by semester rather than up front. Contact us for the detailed fee schedule of the program you are considering.
Between 1.5 and 4 years depending on the path and your entry qualification. A top-up from an associate degree takes about 2 years, a second bachelor 2 – 2.5 years, and starting from a high school diploma 3.5 – 4 years.
Your highest diploma and transcript (certified copies), your ID card, a passport photo and the university's application form. Your advisor sends the full checklist right after your consultation.
