Information for exchange programs

Dear Prospective International Students,

If you come from one of the numerous partner universities of the DUE you can spend a semester or an academic year in Danang. Please apply first at your home university. Your home university may request additional qualification for the exchange places.

Most of our courses are offered in Vietnamese with a number of courses delivered in English for the high quality program classes. Please contact our international cooperation specialist for list of English courses via email address interrelations@due.edu.vn. To be able to enroll in those English-speaking classes, you need good knowledge of English (IELTS 5.5. or equivalent).

If you intend to follow Vietnamese course, a certificate (B2) is needed. 

Assessment and grading will be done using the DUE’s grading system, which will be a 4.0 scale. A final transcript will show the grades earned in the various modules/courses. The transcript may also show the equivalent grades in the home university’s grading system, if possible. DUE does not guarantee transferability of course credits which have not been pre-approved in writing.

After receiving all final grades, a student will receive an official transcript and/or a certificate of participation. Copies of these documents will be sent to the home university for the actual recognition of credits or degrees.
