Overview
Yersin University is a private, multi-disciplinary university in Da Lat, Lam Dong province.
It was established by a Prime Ministerial decision on 1 October 2004 and describes itself as the first non-public university in the Central Highlands. The founders named it after Alexandre Yersin, the French physician and scientist whose career was tied to Vietnam and Indochina.
The university trains students for applied careers and works closely with partner businesses. Its stated mission is to prepare young people as global citizens who are creative, entrepreneurial and socially responsible, and its teaching follows an Attitudes, Skills and Knowledge model.
Many courses are organised as three-year bachelor programmes that include a long enterprise placement, and students in several fields can take a semester abroad.
Programmes are grouped into fields such as automotive and mechatronic engineering, information technology, agriculture, biology and food science, tourism and events, architecture and interior design, economics and law, languages and Oriental studies, communication and psychology, and health sciences including medicine, pharmacy and nursing. A postgraduate programme in economic management is also offered.
Applicants can apply through school transcripts, the national high school graduation exam, competency assessment tests or direct admission, and the university lists scholarships, free housing places for students from afar and interest-free study loans.
