In order to provide high-quality educational opportunities for students to develop comprehensive skills and knowledge in an international environment, The University of Danang - Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology (UD-VKU), has collaborated with the University of Huddersfield, UK, to launch the 3+1 transfer program. This is a great opportunity for UD-VKU students to experience a top-tier educational environment in the UK.

The 3+1 program allows students to complete their studies in Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Computer Engineering at UD-VKU in the first three years and then transfer to the University of Huddersfield in the final year with a corresponding Top-up course in Information Technology and Applied Informatics. This model helps students save on tuition fees compared to studying abroad full-time while still receiving a degree from the University of Huddersfield, which is equivalent to a three-year degree in the UK.

Additionally, during their time at Huddersfield, students can retain their academic results from UD-VKU if necessary. After one year at Huddersfield, they can return to UD-VKU to complete their program and earn an additional degree from UD-VKU (some courses taken at Huddersfield may be considered and recognized by UD-VKU to complete the UD-VKU program).

Participating in the 3+1 program, UD-VKU students will:

• Access a learning environment with advanced teaching methods and experienced faculty.
• Experience a multicultural environment, expanding their international network and understanding of different cultures.
• Receive support to develop comprehensive soft skills, teamwork abilities, and adaptability in an international setting.
• Earn a globally recognized degree from the University of Huddersfield, opening up attractive job opportunities after graduation.
• Have the option to pursue a Master’s degree at Huddersfield with an additional year of study.

Students who complete three years at UD-VKU with a GPA of 7.0/10 and an IELTS score of 6.0 (with no skill below 5.5) can transfer to the final year at the University of Huddersfield and receive a scholarship ranging from £3,000 to £4,000 (for GPA levels of 7.0/10 – 7.99/10 and 8.0/10 or higher, respectively).

With the motto “Learner-centered” UD-VKU is committed to pursuing the educational philosophy of “Humanity – Dedication – Liberalization,” nurturing core values of “Quality – Prestige – Professionalism,” and aims to build UD-VKU into a prestigious institution while promoting the internationalization of its activities in education, research, and technology transfer in IT and related fields following an advanced higher education model. The 3+1 transfer program between UD-VKU and the University of Huddersfield, UK will be a wonderful opportunity for students who wish to experience an international education environment at a reasonable cost. This is a significant step that helps students not only master professional knowledge but also develop comprehensive skills, well-preparing them for their future careers.

The 3+1 program is expected to launch its first intake of students in early September 2024 for students from UD-VKU. Seize this opportunity to open the door to knowledge and success on your academic and career path!
