In the context of parents and prospective students paying increasing attention to the financial aspects of choosing a university, tuition fees have become one of the most closely watched topics during each admissions season. At Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade (HUIT), the projected tuition fees for the 2026–2030 cohort are expected to range from approximately VND 140 million to VND 170 million for the entire course of study, depending on the major and training program, and applicable to both bachelor’s and engineering programs. This adjustment is being implemented according to a roadmap, with a maximum increase of about 10% compared to the previous year, in line with the University’s orientation toward improving training quality and ensuring increasingly better learning conditions for students.

Based on general calculations, with total tuition ranging from approximately VND 140–170 million for the full program, the average annual training cost remains at a reasonable level compared to that of many universities today, especially for a public higher education institution oriented toward applied training and focused on investing in academic programs, practical training, internships, and enterprise linkage. Publicizing the tuition orientation early also helps parents and students proactively prepare their financial plans, thereby giving them greater confidence in choosing a field of study that matches both their abilities and their family circumstances.

Commenting on this issue, Mr. Phạm Thái Sơn, Director of the Admissions and Communications Center, stated that the University’s tuition adjustment policy is built on the principles of transparency, a clear roadmap, and always placing the interests of learners first. According to him, the projected tuition fee for the 2026–2030 cohort, estimated at VND 140–170 million, with a maximum increase of about 10% compared to the previous year, is not a sudden change but part of a carefully considered plan designed to meet investment needs for training quality, facilities, laboratories, practical training, and student support activities in the new phase.

“The University always strives to announce tuition information early so that parents and prospective students can make proactive calculations. What is important is that tuition is not simply a study cost, but also an investment in the training environment, opportunities for practical experience, and students’ professional competencies after graduation,” Mr. Phạm Thái Sơn shared.

For each group of disciplines, tuition levels may vary depending on training characteristics, the amount of practical and laboratory work, as well as the duration of study between bachelor’s and engineering programs. Nevertheless, HUIT’s overall orientation is to establish a reasonable tuition framework with a clear roadmap, ensuring that it is commensurate with training quality while enabling students and parents to prepare their financial plans from the outset.

In addition to tuition fees, HUIT also places strong emphasis on implementing financial support policies to facilitate students’ access to higher education. Many scholarship programs aimed at encouraging academic achievement continue to be maintained for students with strong performance, disadvantaged students, and those with special circumstances. Alongside these are tuition exemption and reduction policies in accordance with State regulations, scholarships sponsored by enterprises, and various support activities designed to ease the financial burden on learners.

According to Mr. Phạm Thái Sơn, the University’s viewpoint is that no student should have to miss out on educational opportunities because of financial difficulties. “In addition to tuition, the University pays great attention to its student support system, from scholarships and fee reduction policies to connecting with socialized resources and accompanying businesses. We want students who come to HUIT to see a clear tuition framework while also feeling the University’s practical support throughout their learning journey,” he emphasized.

In the context of higher education increasingly moving toward quality, practical learning, and professional readiness, tuition adjustment is an issue that needs to be viewed comprehensively. Parents and prospective students are concerned not only with the amount they must pay, but also with the value they receive from the training environment, output quality, and employment opportunities after graduation. With projected tuition fees ranging from approximately VND 140 million to VND 170 million for the entire course, applicable to both bachelor’s and engineering programs, adjusted according to a roadmap with a maximum increase of about 10% compared to the previous year, and accompanied by multiple support policies, HUIT is demonstrating its efforts to balance the demands of quality development with its responsibility to accompany and support learners.
