Masters Degree at VN Uni for Foreigners

you are not thinking of wall papering your room?
you can also get toilet paper from the supermarkets.
The issue is when you mix your accreditations and ONE bad apple surely spoils the whole barrel.
PS: there was another thread where you can buy... Masters, PHds

There are distant learning degrees are reasonable prices.

I'm not really interested in the destination as much as the journey.  Meaning the degree itself is probably equal to or less important than the educational experience..i.e. going to class, meeting fellow students, study sessions, tests, research, teaching underclassmen..etc.

P.S., the toilet paper comment is pretty funny.

Try HCMC University of Social, Science & Humanities, RMIT, HCMC University of Foreign Languages Information Technology... They have bilingual languages (Eng&Vn) course. I suggest you take BA on Vietnamese at Uni of Social, Science & Humanities - it should be fun

Didn't you get to do all of those in the States already? 

Here, student life is very different:  pissing off your professor can mean expulsion, even imprisonment...  Remember, this is socialist and developing Vietnam, we are talking about!

Yah I got that experience in the states a while ago for my undergrad.  Want to see how it is here.  I'm sure it's different but the pursuit of learning is probably the same.  I'm not really interested in a 10-point on my exam or a summa cum laude (a D- will suffice...whatever it is that is NOT failing)...as hELLnoi mentioned, the degree is worthless....just the educational atmosphere.

RMIT = Australian and is not state/public.  All the other state schools you mentioned have an International Student section?

Uhm... My bad! Actually only Social, Science & Humanities is State Uni as your definition well, I was thinking "this guy wants to know about the master courses for foreigners in Vietnam and the courses must be approved by the Ministry of Education". Sorry for misreading!

Check out university of law and universifty of banking (those are state uni and having "connecting course" with some US/UK uni and yes, they have foreign students from US/European countries!). Anyway, still keep the idea the BA on Vietnamese languge for you!

I know exactly what you mean.  Awhile back, similar to you, I thought about giving law school here a shot.  However, after talking to the students and staffs at Can Tho University, I knew that it wasn't for me.

Hey, but you may like to learn about Marxism and Leninism, yeah?  As for me, no thank you!

For those classes, I might hire someone to sit in for me.

We talk about culture and experience on this Forum but I haven't read much about Collegiate experiences from Expats.  There's gotta be some funny shenanigans going on in the academic world that could light up this Forum.  The guys driving the wrong way, running red lights, people peeing on the side of the road, throwing garbage, etc. (everyday life) is getting kinda stale.

My pleasure! Oh, I didnt know that they have English section website, anyway, it's good that you can read English haha! Hey, be hurry to register for the course and share your experience! I have not taken any course in this Uni. And honestly, I am thinking of taking the Vietnamese course here sometime next year!

I took both my Bachelor's and J.D. degrees in Puerto Rico nearly 40 years ago. Despite how long I've been away, I can still go back and run into, read about, or see old friends and former alumni of mine.

Were I young enough, taking a degree in Vietnam might give me those same advantages. Education is as much about the people you study with as about the subjects, exams, and notes. Some Universities consider the former to be as important as the latter. At least that was Harvard's view in the '70s.

They sent my cousin who's a professor at Can Tho University to Thailand to get his master's degree. I think that says how much value they hold for their own Masters degree if any. My cousin is now at Arizona University for a couple months furthering his education.

Khanh, doesn't much of that depend upon what the degree is in? If you are studying Vietnamese literature or language, Vietnam is obviously the place. Ditto for Vietnamese history before  the 20th Century, assuming the university standards in classical Chinese for Vietnam are what they were in the days of the Nguyen Dynasty.

But if I were a Vietnamese historian studying the Nguyen Siam wars, then Thailand would definitely be mandatory for post-graduate research, if not a degree.

The University of Hanoi Medical School, set up by the French in the early 1900s was teaching scientific medicine (as opposed to old time homeopathic medicine), at a time when only Johns Hopkins Uni in the U.S. was. The real change in scientific medicine in the U.S. only came after the Great Influenza in 1918-19.

it's Electrical Engineering

Yep, dont need to go to Thailand to do Electrical Engineering.

Well it's the University or government that sent him to Thailand to get the Masters degree. As well currently there's about 20 Electrical Engineer teachers all across Vietnam in Arizona furthering their education.

I think it's a positive step forward in education and the economy to learn outside one's own personal border.

Speaking of the government sending people overseas to get trained.  The City of Đà Nẵng did something like this but the employees just ended up taking advantage of the free education and didn't return.  A few jumped ship.  I'd be suprised if those 20 EEs find jobs in the US or other places that pay more.
