British University Vietnam (abbreviated as BUV; Vietnamese: Trường Đại học Anh Quốc Việt Nam) is a Vietnamsee private international university with main campus located in Ecopark, Hung Yen.

BUV was the first university in Vietnam to earn a 5-star QS rating in Vietnam by Quacquarelli Symonds[3] and is the first university in the ASEAN region to pass International Quality Review[4] (IQR) to receive the QAA Accreditation[5].

History

edit

BUV was founded in 2008[6] by Khalid Muhmood MBE and Arabella Peters[7] through Dragonfly Education Group, a family business owned by the founders. In 2010, the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training approved three bachelor's programs[8]: BSc (Hons) International Business Management (University of Staffordshire), BA (Hons) Marketing Management (University of Staffordshire), and BSc (Hons) Banking and Finance (University of London).

At the end of 2012, BUV launched a new scholarship scheme named after HRH Prince Andrew[9], with four full scholarships annually for the University of Staffordshire TNE programmes. In 2014, BUV became the official Registered Centre of University of London International Programmes, the first one in Vietnam[10]. In 2015, the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training also approved BUV for its first-owned bachelor's degree in Finance and Economics[11].

2015 marked the groundbreaking ceremony to construct Phase 1 of BUV Ecopark campus[12]. The campus construction plan consisted of three phases with a total investment capital of USD 165 million[13]. In mid-2017, BUV was granted permission to deliver its first TNE postgraduate degree[14], the Master of Business Administration (MBA), awarded by the University of Staffordshire. In 2018, BUV officially welcomed students to its Ecopark campus. In 2020, BUV announced the British Ambassador's Scholarship[15].

In 2023, BUV became the first university in Vietnam to achieve 5-star QS certification from Quacquarelli Symonds[16] and the first university in the ASEAN region to achieve QAA accreditation[17] by fulfilling the IQR[18] standards. BUV also announced TNE partnership with the University of Stirling[19] and Arts University Bournemouth[20] this year. In 2024, BUV announced its TNE partnership with Bournemouth University[21], the fifth TNE partnership with UK universities. This year, BUV was also granted the ability to deliver its own postgraduate degree in Master of Business Management[22].
