OVERVIEW

Target applicants: 

1. Vietnamese students enrolling in full-time program at IU-VNU

2. Vietnamese students enrolling in Phase 1 of Articulation programs (2+2, 4+0)

3. International students enrolling in full-time program at IU-VNU

As the exchange or study abroad students, you remain enrolled full-time at IU while you are away to study abroad and continue to pay your usual tuition fee at IU prior to going abroad to study. This tuition fee will be determined by the number of courses you take abroad. And, the best of all, you DO NOT pay any tuition fee at the partner university. However, you are responsible for your own living expenses while studying overseas.

ELIGIBILITY

Requirements of IU-VNU:

• Applicants: Bachelor and Master students of IU-VNU.
• Criteria: Applicants are required to

– Complete at least one year of full-time study and yet to apply for/to defend Graduation Thesis.

– Complete these following courses by the time of application: AE1, AE2, Calculus 1, Calculus 2 or Maths for Business.

– Achieve the equivalent of a cumulative GPA ≥ 68/100 (or equivalent).

– Have sufficient English proficiency if required by the host institutions.

• Length of exchange program: from 01 to maximum 02 semesters.

Requirements of Host universities:

– Some specific host universities have their own admission criteria or restrictions, such as applicable IELTS score, eligible applicants, etc.

– You will be informed by Outbound Exchange Coordinator about these special criteria before your application.

English Proficiency:

English is the primary language of instruction at IU, so most of IU’s exchange partners do not require English proficiency assessment. However, it is required by some partner universities in the ISEP programs that students must hold an English proficiency certificate to apply to their universities (IELTS ≥ 6.5 or TOEFL ≥ 79).

NOTES

– Before applying for exchange program, you should carefully consider the length of your exchange period. IU-VNU will not allow the change of the length of exchange during your stay overseas.

– To extend the exchange period (to max. 2 semesters), you are required to come back to IU-VNU and re-start the application process.

– After the overseas study, you will have to come back to IU-VNU in time as stated in the signed ‘Terms & Agreement’.

– While abroad, you are responsible for following the laws of the host country and the academic regulations of the host institution.
