Preferential Tuition for UEH Applicants
Applicants admitted through the official Leicester–UEH Joint Doctoral Programme may benefit from preferential tuition arrangements established under the partnership agreement between the two universities.

Value for Investment
The Leicester–UEH Joint Doctoral Programme offers an outstanding balance between academic excellence and affordability.
By studying primarily in Vietnam while earning a doctoral degree from the University of Leicester, candidates can:
- Obtain an internationally recognised UK doctoral qualification.
- Continue their professional careers while pursuing doctoral study.
- Avoid the significantly higher living expenses associated with full-time study in the United Kingdom.
- Benefit from high-quality supervision and research support from both partner institutions.
The programme provides an accessible pathway to internationally recognised doctoral education while enabling candidates to maintain their professional and personal commitments.
