Admissions trend in 2025, increase quotas, add new majors
Many universities have announced their enrollment plans for 2025. The general trend is to increase enrollment targets and open new training majors.
Increasing enrollment targets
This year, Hanoi National University enrolls 20,285 full-time university students for 12 member schools, an increase of 2,285 targets compared to last year. Of which, the University of Technology was assigned the highest enrollment quota with 3,900 quotas (an increase of 940 quotas).

Not only increasing enrollment targets, the trend of schools is to expand admission combinations.

Or at Hanoi University, this year the school added 3 new admission combinations: Russian Language, Portuguese Language and Information Technology.

"The school also plans to have 2 more international marketing and Business Administration programs, 1 advanced technology transfer program" - Mr. Trung said and added that the updating and innovation of the training program is carried out continuously, associated with practice to approach the needs set by businesses.

After having knowledge of corporate finance, students will learn how to write a startup plan. In addition, students studying this program will have many practical experiences, get acquainted with the labor market early and easily get into the rhythm of work after graduation.
Similarly, the University of Mining and Geology also plans to open 6 new training majors in the 2025 enrollment season, including: English Language, Chinese Language, Materials Engineering, Space Engineering, Urban and Construction Management; Mineral Resources Management.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Viet Ha - Head of Public Relations and Business, University of Mining and Geology - explained: "The school's opening of a new major is based on surveys of stakeholders, especially practical job position needs, meeting the development of the economy and society".
Mr. Ha added that the school will make some adjustments to the admission method. Specifically, the school uses the results of the Hanoi National University's competency assessment, in addition to the thinking assessment test score of Hanoi University of Science and Technology.
2025 is the first year that students take the high school graduation exam according to the 2018 General Education Program. Therefore, the content of the exam and the university admission regulations have many changes. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Minh Son - Deputy Minister of Education and Training, this year many universities have changed their admission combinations, so the admission regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training are also flexible. The Deputy Minister acknowledged that these changes aim to create the best conditions for students, building a more fair, transparent and favorable environment in the process of taking exams and admission.
