Overview
About Mekong University
Mekong University — also listed as Cuu Long University, from its Vietnamese name Đại học Cửu Long ("Cuu Long" is the Vietnamese name for the Mekong River) — is the most recently added partner, with its MOU signed on 3 June 2026 and only 60 seats set aside for Indian students each year, making it the smallest, most exclusive intake in the network so far. You will see both names used interchangeably in university records and NMC/WHO listings.
Its Vinh Long campus sits in the Mekong Delta, a region known for a lower cost of living than Vietnam's larger coastal cities, which may appeal to budget-conscious families evaluating total six-year cost alongside tuition alone.
