BRITISH UNIVERSITY VIETNAM

�ǿմ�ý (�ǿմ�ý) is the first and only international university in Vietnam authorised to award degrees from renowned UK universities: University of London, University of Staffordshire, University of Stirling, Arts University Bournemouth, Bournemouth University, and Manchester Metropolitan University. Established in 2009, �ǿմ�ý delivers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes following UK academic standards.

�ǿմ�ý is rated 5 Stars by QS and institutionally accredited by the UK Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). With over 500 enterprise partners, 100% of �ǿմ�ý graduates are employed or pursue further study within three months of graduation.
Students study at a world class campus in Ecopark, developed with an investment of up to USD 165 million, offering modern facilities and an international-standard learning environment for more than 10,000 students upon completion.

PERSONAL AND SOCIAL GROWTH (PSG) PROGRAMME

The Personal and Social Growth (PSG) Programme is a unique initiative of �ǿմ�ý to encourage students’ well-rounded development and enable them to acquire essential skills, qualities, and qualifications for future success. It is one of three key drivers of �ǿմ�ý, along with the accredited British and international higher education degrees in Vietnam, as well as a 5-star university campus with state-of-the-art learning spaces and dedicated support services.

Going parallel with and complementing the academic degree programmes, the PSG Programme connects a vast pool of activities outside the classroom, catering students’ unique aspirations and facilitating their personal, social, professional, and academic growth in four aspects: Work & Career Readiness; University & Community Engagement; Social, Cultural and Emotional Development; and Academic Excellence.

Upon successful completion of the PSG Programme, students will be awarded a PSG certificate and a detailed transcript of activities and points accumulated throughout their time at BUV. The PSG certificate is a competitive advantage for students to confidently seize opportunities in the real world.
