Universities apply tuition fees by credit with the formula of multiplying the price of 1 credit by the total number of credits of the program and then dividing by the number of years of study.

Tuition fees in 2024 are determined according to Decree 81 of 2021 and Decree 97 of 2023 of the Government, in which the ceiling for public schools that are not financially autonomous is from 1.2 - 2.45 million VND/month depending on the industry. Autonomous schools can charge tuition fees 2.5 times higher than the ceiling and decide on their own tuition fees for accredited programs.

Parents and new students register for admission and pay at the beginning of the school year

According to Circular No. 9 of 2024 of the Ministry of Education and Training, schools must publicize tuition fees. Most universities provide information on tuition fees for one credit, the number of credits per semester, and tuition fees for one semester or the entire course on their websites. Others provide estimated tuition fees for one academic year or the entire course. In addition, tuition fees vary from year to year and some schools provide a roadmap for tuition increases for each year.

During the admission season, many websites and mainstream newspapers publish articles about school tuition fees for parents and new students to refer to. From there, new students and their parents must calculate the tuition fee for a year based on the number of credits they must study in a year.

In the context of tuition fees continuing to increase, finding a school with tuition fees under 20 million VND/year has become difficult, especially when many schools have applied financial autonomy. The situation also occurs at universities in Ho Chi Minh City and the southern region as Thanh Nien Newspaper analyzed earlier.

In general, passing the university entrance exam is an honor for many candidates, but it also comes with financial pressure for low- and middle-income families in the context of increasingly high university tuition fees.
