Academic Admission

First university degree Candidates with an undergraduate degree (that is, Bachelor's or equivalent) in business or economics, or another quantitatively-oriented degree programme (for example, mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, computer science) involving at least 180 credit points (CP) based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) are eligible for admission. In case the final Bachelor's degree certificate is not yet available when applying for the MSc in Global Finance and Economics programme, a candidate's application can alternatively be assessed based on a proof of enrolment and on an interim certificate. This interim certificate must: certify that at least 80% of the CP required for graduation with the Bachelor’s degree have been earned, contain a current average grade (GPA) calculated on the basis of the completed CP in accordance with the regulations of the degree programme in question, and have been issued by the same office that is responsible for issuing the degree certificate at the university offering the Bachelor’s degree programme in question. An admission based on the interim certificate is provisional and conditional on the examination certificate for the Bachelor’s degree being submitted latest by the end of the first semester of studies in the MSc in Global Finance and Economics programme. If the examination certificate is not submitted by this deadline, then the admission is withdrawn and the enrolment is to be rescinded. In case of doubt, applicants are encouraged to contact the academic coordinator of the programme, Dr Le Van Ha, at ha.lv@vgu.edu.vn for further advice on interim certificates. Quantitative proficiency Quantitative proficiency will be assessed based on the Quantitative Reasoning Score of the GRE General Test or the Quantitative Score of the GMAT. In either case, the test must have been taken no more than four years prior to the date of submission.
