PhD Programs: PhD programs in Business Administration, Public Policy, and Technology Innovation are highly research-focused, and the admissions process is typically competitive due to the need for a strong academic and research background.

For domestic students, performance in the Vietnam National University Entrance Examination is critical. International students must meet academic equivalency standards and, in some cases, demonstrate proficiency in English or Vietnamese.
