A generation setting a new quality benchmark��

Following the April Graduation Ceremony, the December 2025 Graduation Ceremony of �ǿմ�ý (�ǿմ�ý) was held on the QS 5-star campus, celebrating more than 600 new bachelor’s and master’s graduates.��

The graduates come from 13 programmes, including Finance awarded by the University of London; Business Management, International Business Management, Marketing Management, Accounting and Finance, Finance and Economics, Game Design and Programming, Contemporary Creative Practice, Computer Science, Events Management, Tourism Management awarded by University of Staffordshire; and International Hospitality Management,��Finance and Economics��awarded by �ǿմ�ý.��

The 2025 �ǿմ�ý graduating cohort stands out for consistency, academic depth, and strong research capability. Around 30% of students graduated with First Class Honours – achieving over 70/100 in all modules across their entire programme – a sharp increase compared with the same period last year and on par with the average rate in the UK, according to the UK’s Higher Education Statistics Agency.��

Around 20% of �ǿմ�ý graduates continue to pursue postgraduate study at leading institutions worldwide, such as the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the University of St Andrews, Monash University, and the University of Sydney – all renowned for their highly selective admissions and rigorous academic standards.��

Nearly 50% of students secure employment before formally receiving their degree, joining major corporations in Vietnam and abroad, such as Vinamilk, Techcombank, MB Bank, Vingroup, Panasonic, YouTube, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), KPMG, EY, VTV, VNG, GameLoft, Shopee, SSI and others. Many of these organisations are part of the “Big 4” in banking and auditing or listed among Viet Nam’s VNR100 leading enterprises.��

In parallel, more than 20% of students choose the entrepreneurial path. Many projects have been developed and refined over several years, such as Young Vitality – a “knowledge gym” model focused on scientific nutrition, smart exercise and healthy living; or 204 Production – an agency specialising in photography and video. These start-ups have been nurtured through product development, real-world project implementation, and business model experimentation within �ǿմ�ý’s highly applied learning environment.��

Speaking at the ceremony, valedictorian Doan Thuy Duong, Bachelor of Accounting and Finance, shared: “The most valuable thing we receive from �ǿմ�ý is not only a British degree but a way of thinking, a way of solving problems, and the confidence to step into a highly competitive world. Each of us has a different journey, but we all share the same spirit: to keep striving and to create real value.”��

In his congratulatory message to �ǿմ�ý graduates, His Excellency Iain Frew – British Ambassador to Vietnam – emphasised �ǿմ�ý’s pivotal role in educational cooperation between the two countries, a field considered a cornerstone of the UK–Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. He expressed his belief that this year’s graduates “will continue to serve as a bridge between the two education systems, bringing the values, knowledge and spirit of ambition gained at BUV to contribute to their communities, to Vietnam and to the strengthening of ties between our two nations.”��
