Data science tuition fees typically range from 20 to 30 million VND

Tuition for data science programs at 25 universities ranges from 14.9 to 80 million VND annually, with the most common range being 20 to 30 million VND. Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance has the highest fees.

This information was published in the admissions plan. The program may have different names and curricula at each institution, such as data science, data science and artificial intelligence, and data science in finance.

Tuition differences stem from several factors, including the university's level of autonomy, the curriculum, and accreditation. Typically, standard programs taught in Vietnamese have the lowest fees. The highest fees are for programs with enhanced English language instruction, international orientations, or affiliations with foreign universities.

Common entrance exam combinations for data science programs are A00 (math, physics, chemistry) and A01 (math, physics, English), along with newer combinations like X26 (math, English, computer science) and X06 (math, physics, computer science).

According to the universities, graduates of these programs can work in various roles: data analysts, business analysts, data engineers, data product development specialists, and risk analysts.

Tuition fees at over 100 universities nationwide have been increasing over the past two years, partly due to the rising tuition fee ceiling under government Decrees 81 (2021) and 97 (2023). The highest fees at public universities that haven't achieved regular expenditure self-sufficiency for the 2025-2026 academic year will be 1.59 to 3.11 million VND monthly, about 11-12% higher than the previous academic year.

For self-sufficient universities, tuition can be 2.5 times the ceiling. For accredited programs, universities set their own fees.
