What the fee figure leaves out
A published fee is not what you pay
13 courses here, across 1 university, carry a sourced note about a cost the headline figure does not include — a compulsory contribution, an income-tested scale, an annual increase that applies from year two, a rule about who qualifies. The most widely shared of them:
RMIT Vietnam's fee table gives two figures per row: a Vietnamese dong fee and an indicative US dollar equivalent. For Bachelor of Business the whole-programme row reads 288 credits over 24 courses, and the annual row is 375,840,000 VND — described on the page as indicative, based on an average student's study load.

Annual international tuition, converted to US dollars so the two ends compare. The published figure in its own currency is the authoritative one.
How Vietnam compares with other countries
Ranked against every other country on StudyPath. Countries charge in different currencies, so these figures are converted to US dollars and are approximate; the published figure, in its own currency, is on each university's page.

Converted to US dollars at the site's exchange rates of 13 Sept 2026. A fee or rent published per term, month or week is scaled to a year, and housing is counted for twelve months of holding the room. The living-cost figure is what an immigration authority requires a student visa applicant to show, taken as a year; the UK's, for example, covers at most nine months, so this overstates it. See student finance for each country's exact wording.
