University of natural sciences admission threshold reaches 25

The University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, has announced its minimum admission scores, ranging from 19 to 25 out of 30, marking the highest threshold announced so far.

The University of Natural Sciences (HUS) announced on 3/7 that an admission threshold of 25 applies to its gifted training programs. This score represents the highest minimum requirement among nearly 20 universities that have released their admission criteria so far.

For high-quality programs, HUS requires 23 points. Candidates applying to other programs must achieve a minimum of 19 to 22 points to be eligible for admission to the university.

These minimum scores are calculated from the total points of three subjects in the national high school graduation exam, based on specific subject combinations. They do not involve coefficient multiplication and already include priority points. For alternative admission methods, such as using HSA exam scores, SAT certificates, or a combination of high school graduation exam results and international certificates, candidates are required to achieve equivalent scores when converted to a 30-point scale.

The detailed minimum admission scores for the University of Natural Sciences for the 2026 academic year are as follows:
