When a 150-Year-Old UK University Degree Is No Longer a “Luxury Dream” for Vietnamese Parents

“How can my child obtain a prestigious international university degree without having to face an overwhelming financial burden or the loneliness of being alone in a foreign country before they are mature enough?”

This is not just a question — it is the real concern of thousands of Vietnamese parents before every admission season.

In the context of an integrating labor market, a university degree from a public university in the United Kingdom is an absolute advantage, but the barrier of costs amounting to billions of VND often makes that dream seem out of reach. The De Montfort University (DMU) – HSU Vietnam program appears as a practical solution, bringing the essence of UK education to the heart of Ho Chi Minh City.

150 Years of Heritage — A Guarantee of Quality

De Montfort University (Leicester, United Kingdom) began its educational journey in 1870. With over 150 years of history, DMU has built its reputation not just through time, but through substantive rankings. According to the International Student Barometer 2025, DMU holds the No. 1 position in the UK for “The educational choice that delivers the highest investment value for international students.” This means that every dong of tuition fees parents pay is converted into real career value and genuine skills for their children.

A Smart Investment Strategy

A practical calculation shows: self-funded study in the United Kingdom costs approximately 3.64 billion VND over 4 years. At DMU – HSU, the “Localized Global Education” model reduces this figure to approximately 549 million VND for the entire program — saving nearly 85%. In particular, tuition fees are committed to remain stable throughout the course, allowing parents to fully and proactively plan their finances without worrying about economic fluctuations. Children still study the original curriculum and receive a university degree equivalent to students in the UK, while still receiving the close attention of their family.

A Permanent Global Passport

The bachelor’s degree issued directly by DMU United Kingdom is a “power visa” that helps students confidently step into multinational corporations. According to ISB 2025, DMU ranks 3rd in the UK for overall student satisfaction. This is the result of meticulous care at every stage of training — from the facilities at the center of District 1 to the faculty team meeting international accreditation standards.

“This cooperation program will contribute to training and providing society with a workforce fully equipped with the knowledge and skills to be ready to participate in the highly competitive labor market during the period when Vietnam is integrating rapidly, deeply, and broadly with the international community as it is today.”

— Professor Sir Steve Smith, Global Education Ambassador of the United Kingdom
