9+ benefits of studying university in English

The benefits of studying English at university level are increasingly clearly proven when students can access global knowledge, opportunities and working environments. Let’s find out right below.

Expanding global job opportunities, without limits

Students proficient in academic English and specialised English will open the door to entering multinational companies and large global corporations. In particular, those who graduate from English programmes also have an advantage when applying for positions that require international communication ability. Not only domestically, many enterprises in Singapore, Thailand, Japan or Europe also highly value candidates from Vietnam if they have sufficient language and professional capacity.

Receiving a salary 30-50% higher than the general level

Surveys on the labour market show that the income gap between people proficient in English and people who cannot use English is always significant. According to a report by TITA Research (Vietnam) – a market and user-behaviour research unit in Vietnam, employees good at English can receive an income 6–22% higher than colleagues not good at foreign languages even in the same position.

In multinational enterprises or professions that require international communication, this gap can even increase to 30–50%, because enterprises are willing to pay higher salaries to personnel who can read professional materials, work with foreign partners and handle work in English.

Accessing the world’s huge and most updated source of knowledge

Studying university in English allows students to directly read and understand original documents, international textbooks and the latest scientific research without waiting for translations. This helps the knowledge-absorption process be faster, more accurate and always keep up with global thinking.

Developing critical thinking and presentation ability

English programmes usually apply international-standard teaching methods: encouraging multidimensional analysis, teamwork, presentation and debate in class. Thanks to this, students will train critical thinking, problem-solving ability and soft skills..

When regularly communicating, giving presentations or discussing in English, students will gradually become more confident in presenting their views. Besides, the internationally styled study programme also helps learners easily integrate into a multicultural environment.

Creating a solid foundation for transfer study abroad or postgraduate study

Studying in English from university level helps students get used to the international academic method, not being confused when participating in transfer study-abroad programmes or studying for a Master’s abroad. Many international schools also recognise scores from English-taught programmes in Vietnam to make the admission process more favourable.

Expanding a quality relationship network (networking)

The English-study environment brings together students with open minds, international orientation and clear career goals. This is a great opportunity for you to build a quality relationship network, including friends, lecturers and alumni, who can support each other in work later.

Saving significant costs compared to studying abroad

Instead of spending hundreds of millions to billions of VND to study abroad in the UK, US, Australia…, you can study an international programme right in Vietnam at a cost of only 1/3 or even 1/5. This is considered a form of on-the-spot study abroad, both economical and safe while still accessing international textbooks and study methods.

Enhancing adaptability and flexibility

Regularly studying, thinking and processing information in a second language helps the brain operate more flexibly. Students will easily adapt to changes, new working environments or unexpected challenges at work. This is an important skill that helps you develop sustainably in the era of integration.
