The bachelor’s programs have been accredited by the High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (HCERES), which means our degrees and credits are recognized equivalent to those of French and European universities.
From 2022, USTH cooperates with French universities within the USTH Consortium to launch 3 double degree programs: Biotechnology – Drug discovery, Information and Communication Technology, Chemistry. Students will start their study for the first two years at USTH, then transfer to our French partner university to complete their 3rd year. Upon graduation, students will be granted two degrees: one from USTH and one from a French partner university.
In the 3rd year, students take internships for the duration of 3 – 6 months at universities, research institutes, labs or businesses in Vietnam, France, or other countries.
