Vietnam's higher education system is made up of universities, colleges, and junior colleges. It is estimated that the university student population is over one million. These institutions include those that are public, semi-public, people-founded and private. Most are the responsibility of the country's Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and provinces. MOET provides academic management of the institutions including admissions, the overall structure of curriculums, examinations, and granting of degrees. Getting into a university requires completion of a University Entrance Examination (UEE), which is very competitive. Recent estimates are that close to one million Vietnamese students took the UEE with approximately 20% succeeding.

Studies at Vietnam's universities are organized into three stages. The first stage, or undergraduate studies, has two levels. The first level is general higher education, which lasts three years and leads to a Certificate of Higher Education (Bang Tot Nghiep Cao Dang). The second level, specialized higher education, lasts between four and six years following completion of a student's secondary education. This level leads to the Diploma of Higher Education or Bachelor's Degree (Bang Tot Nghiep Dai Hoc). Graduates receive titles related to their specialties, such as cú nhân (Bachelor), ky su (Engineer, which is a five year program), bác sí (Medical Doctor, a six year program), nha sí (Dentist), duoc sí (Pharmacist), or luât su (Lawyer).
A second stage of university education is Master's Degree, or Thac si. This is typically awarded after two years study beyond the first stage and after a defence of a thesis. Entrance into master's programs requires completion of a competitive examination and sometimes previous professional experience. The third stage, or Doctorate (Tiên Sy), involves studies of two to three years beyond a master's program or four years following a first degree. Doctorate studies include at least two years of research leading to a dissertation, which is defended in front of a committee selected by the MOET. During the second year of the PhD program and before being allowed to defend a dissertation students must pass a test named Thi Tôi Thieu or 'minimum knowledge'.
