Bournemouth University (BU) is to offer courses in Vietnam as part of a new partnership agreement with British University Vietnam (BUV).
BU undergraduate degrees in Tourism Management and Events Management will be delivered at BUV from September 2025.
Graduates will receive a BU degree upon completion of the course.
The transnational education agreement is a first for BU, with up to 40 students on each course from the 2025/26 academic year, taught on BUV’s campus just outside of Ha Noi.
A partnership agreement between BU and BUV will look for opportunities for future collaboration and growing the BU brand in Southeast Asia.
Professor Alison Honour, Vice-Chancellor of Bournemouth University, said, “We are a university with a vibrant international community of students and staff, and I am delighted that we are partnering with BUV to offer programmes in Vietnam and expanding our BU global presence.”
Dr Alastair Morrison, Head of International Partnerships at Bournemouth University, said: “We have had established links in Vietnam for a number of years and we are pleased to partner with BUV in offering two programmes, working together to develop talent for Vietnam.”
BUV was established in 2009 and is the first and only international university in Vietnam to deliver degrees by UK universities.
It aims to develop highly employable graduates by delivering programmes with the partner universities they work with.
Professor Raymond Gordon, Vice-Chancellor and President of British University Vietnam said: “At BUV, we are committed to delivering world-class education and equipping our students with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the global workforce.
“Our new partnership with Bournemouth University represents a pivotal advancement in our ongoing mission to bring the highest calibre of UK education to Vietnam.
“We look forward to welcoming students to these innovative programmes and seeing them become successful in the tourism and events management sectors.”
