TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES

Students have 2 options:

Option 1:

Students study at HCMUT for 4 years and get a Bachelor of Petroleum Engineering from HCMUT.

Option 2:

After completing 02 years at HCMUT, students with financial and academic eligibility may transfer to the University of Adelaide (ADL), Australia the later 02 years to complete their study for Bachelor’s degree.
The official bachelor’s degree is awarded by the University of Adelaide (ADL), Australia

The advantage of this option is that the student can save about 50% on the total fee (tuition fee and living expenses) compared to studying for full 4 years in Australia to get a Bachelor’s Degree awarded.
