HUST consistently leads technical and technological universities in Vietnam in terms of admission scores. Information technology programs like computer science, data science and artificial intelligence, and computer engineering have the highest entry requirements, consistently remaining above 28 points out of 30 on the national high school graduation exam for many years.

Computer science, for example, had the highest admission score in 2023 at 29.42 over the past three years. Last year, it was 28.53, which, despite being lower, still led all programs.

HUST calculates admission scores based on two groups. For programs without a major subject, the admission score is the sum of the three subjects plus any bonus points. For programs with a major subject, the formula is: [(Subject 1 + Subject 2 + Subject 3 + Major Subject) x 3/4] + Bonus Points, all out of 30.

The computer science program in partnership with Troy University requires an admission score of only 21, the lowest among HUST programs. The business administration program, also in collaboration with Troy University, shares the same entry requirement.

HUST admission scores for the past three years are as follows:

This year, HUST is admitting 9,680 students. Admission methods include: talent assessment, critical thinking assessment, high school graduation exam scores, nominations, and international student admissions.

Tuition fees at HUST from the 2025-2026 academic year will be between 28 and 90 million VND, an increase of 3 to 5 million VND compared to the current rates. Standard programs will cost between 28 and 35 million VND per year.

Tuition fees for high-quality programs will increase from 33-42 million VND to approximately 35-45 million VND per year, depending on the program. Data science and artificial intelligence, as well as logistics and supply chain management, will maintain their current tuition fees of 64-67 million VND.

For international and joint international programs, HUST charges an average tuition fee of 25-30 million VND per semester. The business administration (TROY-BA) and computer science (TROY-IT) programs, in partnership with Troy University, cost approximately 78-90 million VND per year, with three semesters per year.

HUST stated that tuition fees may increase in subsequent years, but not by more than 10%.
