Notes when choosing to study a master's degree in a different field

Circular No. 15/2014 of the Ministry of Education and Training allows students to participate in master's courses in other fields in Vietnam. However, students must meet the requirements of a university degree and participate in additional courses and exams related to that field of study.

Currently, the cost of master's training is quite expensive and requires students to be really serious. If you do not have much time to invest in studying, you should consider more carefully about studying a master's degree in a different field.

Students need to carefully study the curriculum such as the structure and the ability to integrate knowledge with their original field of study.
