1. UK-standard programs with trend-setting majors

VNUK proudly stands as the first and only international public university in Central Vietnam.

2. Dive into a universe of vibrant, hands-on experiences
For today’s Gen Z, university is more than just classes—it’s skills, experience, and real-world practice. A practical, experience-driven environment is essential for young people to truly master knowledge.
VNUK is considered one of the youngest and most dynamic universities in Da Nang. Beyond active and creative classes, students enjoy exciting extracurricular activities, “learn while having fun” programs, and a diverse ecosystem of events, ensuring that Gen Z students develop holistically—academically, socially, and personally.
From major recurring events like Future Leader Programme, Innovation Challenge, Plastic Action, Halloween, to weekend “change-of-pace” programs such as workshops and engaging experiential activities under the “well-being” series—covering topics like pressed flower art, relaxing painting, flower arrangement, baking, stress management skills classes, and more.
In addition, VNUK regularly organizes Yoga classes, football, table tennis, and online gaming competitions, giving students opportunities to relax, refresh, broaden their horizons, enrich their life experience, and prepare for new challenges.
This is also why many VNUK students stand out from their peers thanks to strong soft skills, enthusiasm, energy, and active participation in events and activities. Most importantly, these programs allow Gen Z students to create beautiful, memorable experiences throughout their four years at university.

3. Discover VNUK’s “specialty” – Field Trips and Internships
To move from textbooks to real-world experience and directly engage with their chosen field of study, internships are essential for every student. At VNUK, students will have the opportunity to participate in field trips (company visits) to better understand the operations of various types of businesses, engage in extracurricular and volunteer activities, and importantly, gain experience through introductory internships, summer internships, and main-course internships.
This is considered a “golden opportunity” for young people to get acquainted with the real working environment, gaining lessons beyond textbooks and beyond what they might have expected. These experiences help students mature in evaluating, analyzing, and solving problems. By being given the chance to apply their knowledge in actual work, students can more easily identify their own gaps and continue to improve themselves.
It’s important to understand that real-world experience is directly proportional to future success. Every lesson gained from internships and practical experiences becomes an asset, a valuable tool that helps students confidently navigate their future paths. These experiences teach a lesson, give a story, and ultimately contribute to personal growth.
4. International Professional Certifications – A “Powerful Credential” Exclusively for VNUK Students
With the goal of providing comprehensive training and development for students, VNUK has partnered with prestigious international professional organizations and associations. Students studying at VNUK have the opportunity to register for and pursue three key certifications, including:
ACCA – Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (UK);
CMI – Chartered Management Institute (Senior Management Professional Standards);
CIM – Chartered Institute of Marketing (Practical Marketing Training).
These certifications are recognized in many advanced countries, giving students a competitive edge in the global job market after graduation.
In addition, students can choose to study these certifications alongside other courses within their degree program, allowing them to earn both their Bachelor’s degree and international professional certifications according to their personal goals and interests. This becomes a powerful “tool” for young people to confidently pursue job opportunities that match their skills.
5. Gen Z “Going Global” through Exchange and Transfer Programs
With the “Go Global” strategy, VNUK enables 100% of students to study abroad or engage in cultural exchange through exchange programs and transfer programs via its network of prestigious universities around the world, spanning from Europe to Asia.
This provides an opportunity for Gen Z students to learn in multicultural environments, make global friends, and build networks across continents, while experiencing international education both in Vietnam and at partner universities. Upon completing the program, students will receive dual degrees: a Vietnamese university degree from VNUK and an international degree, at a much lower cost than starting with overseas study.
Each environment helps students develop essential skills and benefit from comprehensive global education, serving as a solid springboard to access career opportunities at major corporations worldwide.
