University admission score predictions - Tuition fees for over 100 universities in 2025
Regarding the score differences between different subject combinations, Cu Xuan Tien, head of the admissions and student affairs office, stated that the university will base its decisions on the score distribution of the 2025 high school graduation exams and the equivalent conversion framework (using the percentile method) between different admission methods and subject combinations. The admission scores will vary between different combinations.
According to Tien, due to the significant decrease in math and English scores in the 2025 high school graduation exams, the university's admission scores may decrease by approximately 0.5-1.5 points compared to last year.
Popular programs such as international business, e-commerce, international economics, marketing, and economic law, which are highly competitive and attract many applicants, may have lower admission scores than the above or remain the same.
Conversely, the admission scores for new and less competitive programs, such as civil law (English), applied mathematics in economics, management and finance (English), financial technology (co-op program), and management information systems (co-op program), are likely to decrease by more than 1.5 points.
This year, UEL is admitting 2,700 students through three methods: Direct admission and prioritized admission as regulated by the Ministry of Education and Training and Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh City; admission based on high school graduation exam scores; and admission based on competency assessment scores.
The tuition fee at the University of Economics and Law for the 2025 academic year is 31.5 million VND per year for Vietnamese programs and 65 million VND for English programs.
Last year, the admission scores based on high school graduation exam results ranged from 24.39 to 27.44 out of 30, with e-commerce having the highest entry requirement.
