Many medical schools open new majors and increase enrollment quotas.

Universities of Medicine and Pharmacy have begun to announce their 2025 enrollment methods with many new attractive locations.

Hanoi Medical University plans to enroll students in the majors of Medical Imaging Technology and Social Work from 2025. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Le Dinh Tung, Vice Rector of Hanoi Medical University, the opening of two new majors is considered a big difference. These two majors are suitable for the infrastructure and training capacity of the school.

Regarding the admission combination, it is likely that schools will have to adjust the admission combination if the draft circular on university admission regulations is officially issued. Because according to the draft, training institutions will have to convert the equivalent scores to a common scale between the combination and admission methods.

Regarding admission methods, the school plans to maintain the same as last year, including: direct admission, based on high school graduation exam scores, admission combined with graduation exam scores and international language certificates, based on Hanoi National University's (HSA) competency assessment test scores.

Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy plans to enroll nearly 1,700 students, adding admission groups D07 (Math, Chemistry, English) and A02 (Math, Biology, Physics) in 2025.

This is the first time that the school has used block A02 to recruit many majors such as: Preventive Medicine, Traditional Medicine, Nursing, Midwifery... Similarly, the Pharmacy major has recruited block D07 for the first time.

The three expected admission methods include: considering high school graduation exam scores; considering a combination of high school graduation exam scores and English certificates; and direct admission. Of which, combined admission only applies to the fields of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy.

Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine plans to increase enrollment quotas for some majors in 2025: Traditional Medicine by 20%; Nursing by 10%; Pharmacy by 30%. The remaining majors will not increase enrollment quotas.

Regarding admission methods, this year, the school plans to implement 6 admission methods, including: high school graduation exam results; direct admission according to the regulations of the admission regulations; using the results of the capacity assessment test, thinking assessment organized by other units for admission; using only international certificates for admission; combining high school graduation exam results with international certificates for admission; using other methods.

Meanwhile, in 2024, Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine will only implement 3 admission methods: Admission based on high school graduation exam results; direct admission; priority admission.

A new point in this year's admission season is that the school does not apply Foreign Language as a secondary criterion when considering equal scores as in previous years. The admission combinations based on the 2025 high school graduation exam scores are kept the same by the school, including B00 (Math, Chemistry, Biology), A00 (Math, Physics, Chemistry), B03 (Math, Biology, Literature).

The University of Medicine and Pharmacy (Vietnam National University, Hanoi) plans to apply an additional admission method for students who already have a university degree to apply for admission to the Medicine and Pharmacy majors from 2025. For these students, the Medicine major will take 4 years and the Pharmacy major will take 3 years.

Tokyo Medical University Vietnam enrolls students through 3 admission methods, including: admission based on the results of the 2025 high school graduation exam; admission based on the school's own plan (including direct admission based on high school academic results; review of transcripts with essays and interviews; review of transcripts with JLPT Japanese proficiency certificates); direct admission of candidates who have won national prizes.

In which, considering the combination of foreign language certificates and academic records is a new method applied from 2025.

The school plans to enroll 266 students for all majors. Specifically, Nursing has 110 quotas; Rehabilitation Technology has 80 quotas; Medical Laboratory Technology has 38 quotas; Medical Imaging Technology has 38 quotas.

In the draft revised regulations on university and college admissions for preschool education, the Ministry of Education and Training plans to raise the threshold to ensure input quality for Pedagogy and Medicine training programs that grant practice certificates.

Specifically, from 2025, candidates applying for admission to these majors must have academic results in all three years of high school from good or higher, or a graduation score of 8 or higher.

Some majors are applied with lower floor level such as: Physical Education, Music Pedagogy, Fine Arts Pedagogy, Preschool Education at college level and majors such as Nursing, Preventive Medicine, Midwifery, Dental Prosthetics, Medical Testing Technology, Medical Imaging Technology, Rehabilitation Technology. Candidates need to have good academic results in all three years of high school or a graduation score of 6.5 or higher.

In case of using high school results for admission, the results of the entire 12th grade of the candidate must be used. Schools can use unlimited combinations for admission instead of only 4 combinations as at present, but are limited to the number of scores of the subjects.
