With the dual degree option, students will receive two degrees from BUV and MMU at the same time. Degrees from MMU are recognized in more than 100 countries, making it easier to apply for international jobs and pursue graduate studies abroad.

Excellent partner

"Manchester Metropolitan University is looking for excellent partners around the world. Among them, BUV stands out with many similar values. Manchester Metropolitan University's programs taught in Vietnam will be co-established with programs in Manchester. This is an opportunity for students to enjoy British-standard education right in Vietnam," said Mr. Matt Dean - Director of International Relations of MMU.

According to Mr. Dean, Vietnam is the next important destination in the globalization roadmap of Manchester Metropolitan University. Besides the fastest economic growth rate, the increasingly close relationship between Vietnam and the UK is also a favorable factor. The cooperation between Manchester Metropolitan University and BUV is expected to contribute to tightening this relationship.
