Vietnam 2027 university admission process and reforms

Overview

The Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training has outlined the implementation plan and schedule for the 2027 university and college admission cycle. Initial steps involve the issuance of revised admission regulations in November 2026, followed by a requirement for educational institutions to publish admission information by December 31, 2026. In 2027, candidates are expected to review high school academic results by June 6, with direct admission applications due by June 20. The primary registration and adjustment period for admission preferences is set for July 1 through July 13, 2027. Other key dates include the submission of foreign language certificates and SAT scores between July 6 and July 20, and the online payment of admission fees from July 14 to July 20. For specialized sectors such as law, health, and teacher training, quality assurance thresholds or minimum entry scores are expected to be announced by July 9, 2027. Official admission benchmarks are tentatively scheduled for release after 5:00 PM on August 12, 2027, with the first round of enrollment confirmation due by August 19, 2027. The Ministry is proposing significant reforms to the 2027 high school graduation exam and admissions process to enhance fairness. Following irregularities at the Tuyen Quang High School for the Gifted testing site, officials are considering a “mixing” strategy where students from different schools are grouped together at the same testing locations to reduce collusion risks. To prevent fragmented quotas, the Ministry aims to reduce university admission methods from 19 in 2026 to 11 core methods in 2027. Additionally, plans include tightening rules on bonus points, potentially ending extra points for foreign language certificates and excellence awards to ensure standardized testing remains the primary metric. Furthering these reforms, the Ministry is considering a draft circular to overhaul specialized high school operations.
