This ensures that BUV students will benefit from a curriculum validated or excellence on the international stage, equipping them with comprehensive knowledge and essential skills that align directly with the fast-evolving tourism and events industries. Upon successful completion, graduates will earn a prestigious Bachelor of Arts degree, fully accredited in the UK and recognised worldwide.

Professor Alison Honour, Vice-Chancellor of BU, also expressed enthusiasm, noting, “We are a university with a vibrant international community of students and staff, and I am delighted that we are partnering with BUV to offer programmes in Vietnam, expanding our BU global presence.” 

Ranked among the top 100 young universities worldwide and third in the UK in the Times Higher Education (THE) Young University Rankings 2024, BU has also secured an impressive 39th place out of 1,963 institutions in the THE Impact Rankings 2024, which measure universities all over the world against the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. These high rankings reflect BU’s mission and commitment to sustainable development, aligning closely with BUV’s shared vision of fostering sustainable growth and responsible global citizenship through education. 

The partnership with Bournemouth University aligns with BUV’s mission to deliver world-class, industry-driven education in Vietnam, enabling students to gain UK-accredited degrees with the highest academic and professional standards.
