Note:
1. Before going to study abroad, students are usually required to study at VNUK. Therefore, if students participate in the Student Exchange Program abroad, it will be difficult to join the transfer program.
2. In the student transfer program, there will be an affiliate fee to be paid to VNUK. This funding is usually paid directly to VNUK by partner universities, with the exception of Monash University (Australia). Therefore, before students go to study at Monash University, students will complete this payment once to VNUK with the total cost of $4,000 AUD (equivalent to 62,017,200 VND) (applied for 2024).
