Why Recruit Students in Vietnam?
Vietnam is becoming an increasingly important market for international education. Right now, about 140,000 Vietnamese students are studying abroad, which puts the country at the top of Southeast Asia’s outbound student numbers. Many Vietnamese families see international degrees as a valuable investment, especially in fields like STEM, business, health sciences, the creative industries, and English-medium programs.
Western countries like the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Australia continue to be popular destinations, but nearby options such as Japan, Korea, and Singapore are drawing more interest due to their location, cost, and academic reputation.
Vietnam’s demand for international education is being driven by a combination of demographic, economic, and cultural factors. With a young population and rising middle class, families are increasingly prioritizing global academic pathways. According to ISC Research, Vietnam ranks among the top five countries globally for international school growth, with a 42% increase in the number of schools since 2019 and a 30% rise in student enrollment. Additionally, a 2024 report by Acumen found that nearly 200,000 Vietnamese students pursue studies abroad each year, underscoring the country’s appetite for overseas education.
This demand is not limited to outbound mobility. Transnational education (TNE) within Vietnam is also expanding rapidly, with parents showing strong interest in international programs delivered locally. The Vietnam Voices survey revealed that families are increasingly open to TNE models, especially when they offer recognized qualifications and cost-effective alternatives to studying abroad.
These trends reflect a broader shift in Vietnamese attitudes toward education, one that values international standards, face-to-face engagement with institutions, and flexible pathways to global credentials. For recruiters, this means Vietnam isn’t just growing, it’s evolving into one of Southeast Asia’s most strategic education markets
Transnational education is also growing quickly. In Australia alone, there are over 400 joint programs and more than 20,000 enrollments, showing that families are open to the idea of getting a global education without leaving the country.
We’re seeing rapid growth in Vietnam’s K–12 and IB sector, and that’s creating a strong pipeline of students who are well-prepared for university-level study. That’s why it’s so important for international schools and universities to engage early, when students are still weighing their options and thinking about the next step in their education.
Our education fairs in Vietnam, especially in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, play a key role in this. They’re not just stand-alone events. They’re part of a broader outreach strategy that includes school visits, information sessions, and networking with counselors. Together, these efforts give institutions the chance to connect face-to-face with students and families, build brand visibility, and form meaningful partnerships with local schools and education agents.
For universities and high schools offering bachelor’s, master’s, or IB programs, Vietnam really is a promising market. Direct engagement through fairs and personal interaction is what helps turn curiosity into concrete applications
