Fast-track learning, early graduation, and readiness to conquer the job market are the key advantages of the 3-year undergraduate program at Hong Bang International University (HIU) designed for students born in 2007. Starting from the 2025–2026 academic year, HIU officially launches its accelerated training model, allowing students to complete their entire degree in just three years. In addition, eligible students can receive a scholarship of up to 30% off their first semester’s tuition.
Shorter Duration, Greater Efficiency
The trend of shortening undergraduate programs to just three years is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, especially in European countries. This model focuses on streamlining academic theory, enhancing practical training, and developing applied skills to meet the demands of the labor market.
In reality, many students in Vietnam have already taken the initiative to accelerate their studies by enrolling in extra summer courses, embracing online learning, and improving their language proficiency and soft skills—allowing them to enter the workforce sooner.
In response to the ongoing educational reform and the practical needs of learners, Hong Bang International University (HIU) officially launches a 3-year undergraduate program, equivalent to 8 semesters (3 semesters per year), instead of the traditional 4-year model.
The program still meets the Ministry of Education and Training’s requirement of 120 credits but is scientifically restructured. It focuses on core modules linked to professional competencies, integrates interdisciplinary knowledge, streamlines academic theory, and enhances practical experience.
Flexible Schedule, Holistic Development
The program is designed around flexible 12-week learning cycles, alternating with 1–2 weeks of break to help students maintain consistent academic performance and avoid burnout. Alongside their studies, students are encouraged to take part in extracurricular activities, clubs, sports, the arts, and community service to enrich their personal experience and promote holistic development.
“Employers are increasingly valuing skills and competencies over traditional qualifications. To stay relevant, experiential learning—such as practicums, internships, project-based learning, and Co-op semesters—is now being integrated into the curriculum to bridge the gap between academics and real-world application. In addition, we are promoting online, simulated, and blended learning methods to reduce classroom hours while increasing efficiency. Students are encouraged to engage in guided self-learning, supported by resources and tools provided by instructors,” shared Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyễn Hữu Huy Nhựt, Vice President of HIU.
Beyond curriculum innovation, HIU is also leveraging technology in education. The university is rolling out an AI-powered adaptive learning platform that monitors learning progress, analyzes performance, and designs personalized learning paths tailored to each student’s abilities, learning style, and goals.
A 3-Year Degree at HIU: A Smart Advantage for Students
HIU’s 3-year undergraduate program not only shortens the time to graduation but also offers a range of practical benefits:
- Graduate Early, Work Early: Completing the program one year ahead means students can gain work experience, improve professional skills, and enhance competitiveness in the job market sooner.
