AI and science are the top programs.

Most universities in Vietnam have announced their admission scores for 2026. AI and science programs are very competitive.

At one university, Artificial Intelligence required a perfect score of 30 out of 30.

Data Science and Computer Science also had high admission scores.

Hanoi University of Science and Technology had similar high scores for science programs.

The Data Science and Artificial Intelligence program had 29.54 points, and Computer Science had over 29 points.

At another university, the advanced Computer Science program had 29.32 points, and Artificial Intelligence had 28.68.

Experts say AI and digital transformation are driving economic growth and increasing cutoff scores.

Government policies and labor-market demand are also increasing the appeal of these programs.

Teacher training is still very competitive.

Technology and teacher-training programs are popular choices.

At one university, teacher-training programs required over 29 points.

Chemistry Teacher Education had the highest score at 29.83 points.

Cutoff scores were also high at another university, with Mathematics Teacher Education requiring 29 points.

At Saigon University, Mathematics Teacher Education had a cutoff score of 28.89.

Teacher-training programs are competitive because students receive State support and job training.

Admissions quotas are controlled, and many programs accept limited students.

Direct-entry pathways reduce available places, pushing cutoffs higher.

Military schools have near-perfect scores.

Vietnam's military academies have high admission cutoffs.

The highest cutoff was 29.76 points for female applicants to the Military Medical University.

At the Military Medical University, female applicants from northern Vietnam had a cutoff of 29.60 points.

At the Military Technical Academy, female applicants from southern Vietnam required 29.03 points.

Competition for military institutions remains intense, especially for female applicants.

Economics is still competitive but not dominant.

Economics universities have high cutoff scores, but not as high as before.

At Foreign Trade University, International Economics required 29.7 points.

At the National Economics University, Auditing required 28.84 points.

Economics programs with high cutoff scores are connected to data, e-commerce, and logistics.

Applicants are shifting towards disciplines that combine economics and technology.
