TUITION

Scholarships for the first academic year will be calculated based on the total score in the VGU entrance examination.

Number and categories of Merit Scholarships granted for each study program: 

• 5% of students with the best result will receive the scholarships of 100% tuition fee;
• 10% of students with the next best result will receive the scholarships of 50% tuition fee;
• 15% of students with the next best result will receive 25% tuition fee scholarships.

In the second semester, only students with a minimum IELTS Academic 6.0/TOEFL iBT 60 or equivalent (including native English-speaking students and students who graduated from a bachelor/master program fully taught and assessed in English) are eligible for merit scholarships. If students cannot hand in their IELTS certificates or equivalent before 31 March of the first academic year, they will not receive the scholarships for the second semester.

Students who decline an enrolment offer and reapply to the same program using the same admitted achievement (if valid) in the next selection rounds will not be eligible for merit scholarships.

Scholarships for the following academic years will be based on the preceding academic year's Grade Point Average (GPA). The deadline for the GPA is 15th September of the actual academic year.

The scholarship from the VGU Friends and Supporters Association is funded by the Hessian Ministry of Economics, Energy, Transport and Regional Development (HMWEVL).

Program students have the opportunity to apply for two types of DAAD scholarships. 

The first type of scholarship covers, for one academic year, a significant portion of tuition expenses and costs of living in Vietnam. Applications may be made in both years of studying in the program.

The second type of scholarship covers a significant portion of the costs of travel from Vietnam to Germany and living expenses in Germany, enabling scholarship recipients to work on their master thesis in the fourth semester with full access to the research infrastructure of Goethe University Frankfurt. The stay may also be used to acquire or improve German language skills. 

DAAD scholarship holders are also invited to join the DAAD alumni network to enhance career prospects and personal development. Applications may be made in both years of studying in the program.
