With the longstanding training tradition of Birmingham City University (BCU - United Kingdom) and the established reputation of the University of Information Technology, Ho Chi Minh City (UIT), the international partnership programs for Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science, Computer Networks, and Information Security are considered top choices for technology enthusiasts looking for a reliable international program right in Ho Chi Minh City.
Longstanding training tradition from a university over 180 years old
Birmingham City University - BCU is a public university established in 1843, formed by merging several academies in the city of Birmingham (United Kingdom). With a history of over 180 years, Birmingham City University is known for its liberal, open, and multicultural learning environment. The university currently has over 30,000 students from about 100 countries and territories, enrolled in programs ranging from undergraduate to postgraduate and doctoral levels.
According to the latest World University Rankings (2024), Birmingham City University is ranked in the group of 601-800 best universities out of nearly 2000 universities worldwide. The university also focuses on building partnerships with major global businesses, providing diverse career opportunities for students and learners. Some notable partners of BCU include Nissan, BSBC, Santander, Goldman Sachs, the NHS, Tesco, GlaxoSmithKline, Warner Bros, JP Morgan, and more. It is also a venue for internships to optimize practical experiences for students.
Quality points from the leading IT training institution in Vietnam
The University of Information Technology (UIT) - a member of Ho Chi Minh City National University, is not only a leading university for undergraduate and postgraduate education but also a top center for scientific research and technology transfer in information technology, telecommunications, and related fields.
Specifically, the BCU - UIT international partnership program is taught by a team of lecturers, including Professors and Doctors from UIT who have studied, trained, and improved their qualifications in various countries around the world. Regular updates to the training program in the context of the AI boom and globalization trends aim to provide students with access to equivalent learning resources as in the UK, as well as a foundation for lifelong research and learning.
The learning environment is also emphasized with high-quality classrooms equipped with air conditioning, projectors, strong Internet and wifi, and modern sound systems. Students not only engage in theoretical study but also have discussion time, group work, and an optimal student-teacher ratio for interaction between lecturers and students, as well as among students.
A series of high-class facilities accompany students
The BCU - UIT international partnership program has been implemented since 2019, offering two majors: Computer Science and Computer Networks & Information Security. To participate in the admissions process, candidates need to graduate from high school and hold an IELTS certificate with a score of 5.5 (or an equivalent certificate recognized by the Ministry of Education and Training). In cases where international certificates are not available, candidates need to take the UIT's English entrance exam or attend English training classes organized by the university.
Students who complete the program will receive a diploma from Birmingham City University, internationally recognized. In addition, students enjoy numerous benefits such as transportation from the city center to UIT's headquarters in the University Town and vice versa, tutoring and study advisors throughout the program, introductions to suitable internship positions and job opportunities, and more.
The total tuition fee for the entire program (3.5 years) is 310,000,000 VND/course (if studying in Vietnam), significantly lower than the cost of studying abroad in the UK. Students can study entirely in Vietnam or transfer flexibly to study in the UK, preparing themselves for work or further studies leading to a Master's degree in the UK.
