+84 (221) 6 250 250Yes — BUV offers a Master of Business Administration (MBA), awarded by Staffordshire University and Manchester Metropolitan University.
The advantage lies in the honours bachelor's degree itself, which carries 360 credits and includes a year of practical experience gained during the work placement built into the 3-year programme, enabling direct progression to a master's degree.
Following the launch of Phase 2 in Q1 2025 — which raised the university's total training capacity to 5,500 students — BUV will begin construction of Phase 3, expected to be completed in Q1 2028 with an investment of USD 80 million, bringing total capacity to 10,000 students.
We are also continuously adding new majors in partnership with new degree-awarding institutions. For the 2026 intake, we are introducing four new programmes: Business & Technology, Food & Beverage, Graphic Design, and Animation. The university plans to continue expanding its programme offerings in the future.
This is due to the substantial difference in labour costs and cost of living between the UK and Vietnam, which leads to differences in staffing costs, operating costs, and facility construction costs — creating the difference in tuition between BUV's programmes and those at universities in the UK.
BUV graduates receive a bachelor's degree awarded by the relevant UK partner university. Degree classification follows the exact regulations and assessment framework of the UK partner, equivalent to that applied to students studying in the UK.
