British University Vietnam (BUV) has officially signed a Study Abroad Agreement with the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), opening a new door for academic mobility within Asia. This exciting partnership creates opportunities for students enrolled in University of London (UoL) programmes at BUV to study for one academic year at SIM while remaining on track with their degree.
Eligible students who have successfully completed their first year at BUV can now spend a year immersed in a new academic and cultural environment at SIM. During their time abroad, they will undertake credit-bearing modules fully aligned with the UoL curriculum, ensuring seamless academic continuity.
This collaboration marks a significant step forward in BUV’s efforts to offer students broader regional exposure and real-world global learning experiences. It allows students to explore a new education system, expand their intercultural competencies, and build international networks—valuable advantages in an increasingly connected world.
Aligned with BUV’s mission to deliver world-class British education and foster global citizenship, the agreement is part of a broader strategy to expand partnerships with top-tier universities and institutions worldwide.
Studying at BUV, students can choose from short-term study abroad or semester exchange programmes, transfer to a BUV partner university overseas in their last one or two years (2+1 or 2+2…), or continue their academic journey by pursuing a postgraduate degree from one of the top-ranked institutions in the world. All these opportunities are supported by personalised assistance from the BUV International Office.
BUV ensures a seamless and stress-free process to fast-track international academic opportunities for our students, from selecting the right programme, preparing applications, to securing admission and obtaining scholarships, offering a range of key advantages along the way:
- Pre-mapped and Customised Pathways: All international academic opportunities are pre-mapped and tailored specifically for BUV students and graduates, helping them make the most of their BUV credits, save time and costs, while still enjoying a truly authentic international education experience.
- Lighten the Application Load:
With comprehensive support from the BUV International Office on academic pathways and application procedures, students can reduce their application workload by up to 70–80%.
- Streamlined Admissions with High Success Rate: BUV offers exclusive academic pathways with potential waivers for conditional entry requirements, including English proficiency tests and entrance exams. With dedicated support from the BUV International Office, students enjoy a remarkable 90% success rate across all international student mobility programmes.
- Guaranteed Partner Scholarships: 100% of qualified students recommended by BUV International Office have a guaranteed opportunity to receive scholarships from partner universities, subject to funding availability and application timing.
As BUV continues to strengthen its position as the leading international university in Vietnam and the surrounding region, this partnership further enhances the academic journey of its students, preparing them not only for global careers but also for leadership in diverse, international contexts.
