Leading a delegation of more than 60 university and school leaders from Vietnam to the Cambridge Assessment headquarters, Vietnam’s Minister of Education and Training, Professor Phung Xuan Nha oversaw the signing of four new Vietnamese universities to the long list of institutions nationwide that recognize Cambridge International’s A Level qualification at the end of January 2019.
Cambridge International is already Vietnam’s most recognized international qualification provider for high school leavers entering state universities. Now the Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, the National Academy of Education Management and the Mekong University have become the latest local institutions to recognise and welcome Cambridge International students to their undergraduate programs.
The visit also saw President of the Hanoi University of Science and Technology Dr. Hoang Minh Son sign a Cooperation Memorandum with Cambridge Assessment under which his university’s Ta Quang Buu High School will begin offering Cambridge International’s A Level program in the 2019 academic year. The programme is currently taught in more than 50 well-known international, private and state schools in Vietnam.
Speaking of the signings, Cambridge International’s Country Manager for Vietnam and Myanmar Mr. Melvyn Lim commented: “Vietnamese students consistently perform well in Cambridge examinations, and we are thrilled that well-known universities and secondary schools continue to recognise the strength and benefits of Cambridge qualifications. We look forward to working closely with schools and universities nationwide to ensure the successful growth of the Cambridge International A level system and making Cambridge International qualifications more accessible to Vietnamese students.”
Vietnamese students graduating through the Cambridge A Level curriculum have their qualifications recognised by some of the world’s leading tertiary education institutions.
Internationally these include the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard and Yale. Furthermore, students who have done well at Cambridge International A level qualifications and been accepted in US universities may gain up to 36 credits in their first year of undergraduate study.
For those looking to stay at home to study, these four new universities join such counterparts as the Vietnam National University (Hanoi), RMIT University Vietnam, British University Vietnam, and FPT University in having their A Levels recognised toward admission.
Cambridge qualifications are taught in more than 10,000 schools in 160 countries and are recognised as the gold-standard international qualifications in schools for its wide range of subject choices, regularly updated subject contents, easy access to teaching resources and professional development opportunities for school leaders and teachers. Students who learn Cambridge IGCSE and A levels have access to updated stimulating international curriculum and teaching methods that equips them with essential knowledge and skills for success in higher education and work.
