DMU – HSU INTERNATIONAL UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME TUITION FEES 2026: EARN A UK BACHELOR’S DEGREE AT JUST ONE-FIFTH OF THE COST OF STUDYING ABROAD
Studying abroad has long been a dream for many young people, yet the high tuition fees associated with international partnership programs, often reaching up to a billion VND, give many families pause. Now, however, you can earn a UK Bachelor’s degree right here in Vietnam for just one-fifth of the cost of traditional study abroad, thanks to the partnership program between Hoa Sen University (HSU) and De Montfort University (DMU) in the UK.
Through the international partnership between Hoa Sen University (HSU) and De Montfort University (DMU), UK, students can now earn a prestigious UK bachelor’s degree without leaving Vietnam, at approximately one-fifth of the cost of studying in the UK.
In addition to significantly reducing tuition and living expenses, the programme offers a truly international learning experience, with 100% English-medium instruction, a UK-standard curriculum and excellent global career prospects upon graduation.
DMU – HSU International Programme Tuition Fees from VND 105 Million per Year
For the 2026–2027 academic year, the DMU–HSU International Undergraduate Programme offers two study pathways designed to accommodate students with different levels of English proficiency.
| 4-Year Pathway | 3-Year Pathway | |
| Foundation Year (Year 0) | VND 105,000,000/year | – |
| Degree Programme (Years 1–3) | VND 148,000,000/year | VND 148,000,000/year |
| Total Programme Fee | VND 549,000,000 | VND 444,000,000 |
| Available Majors | International BusinessMarketingGraphic Design | International BusinessMarketingGraphic Design |
Compared with the tuition fees and living expenses required for full-time study in the UK, this represents only around 20% of the overall cost. Students studying in Vietnam follow the same internationally recognised curriculum and graduate with a Bachelor’s degree awarded directly by De Montfort University (UK), equivalent to that awarded to students studying at DMU’s Leicester campus.
Fixed Tuition Fees and Lower Living Costs
One of the key advantages of the DMU-HSU programme is its fixed annual tuition fee structure, rather than a credit-based tuition model commonly adopted by many universities. This enables students and their families to plan their finances with confidence throughout the entire programme without worrying about unexpected increases resulting from additional credit registrations.
In addition, students studying in Ho Chi Minh City typically require around VND 50 million per year to cover living expenses. Compared with studying abroad, this eliminates substantial costs such as international flights, student visa fees, overseas health insurance and significantly higher living expenses, making an internationally recognised UK degree far more affordable.
A UK Education Experience in Vietnam
De Montfort University – HSU Vietnam is an international partnership programme delivering the original curriculum of De Montfort University, a public university in the United Kingdom. Students enjoy an authentic British educational experience in Vietnam while studying the same curriculum, learning outcomes and academic standards as those delivered in Leicester.
