Dai Nam University MBBS Vietnam 2026: Fees, Curriculum & Admission Guide
Direct answer: Dai Nam University (DNU) in Hanoi publishes a six-year Medical Doctor programme with 18 semesters, a structured medical curriculum and 2026 admission information. Indian students should still verify the international intake, teaching language, fee quotation, clinical arrangements and documents in writing before paying.
Dai Nam is one of the Vietnamese universities available through Aieraa Overseas’ admissions support for Indian students. This guide is for families researching MBBS in Vietnam; it separates current university-published information from figures that require an individual quotation.
What is Dai Nam University?
Dai Nam is a private university in Hanoi with a Faculty of Medicine. Its official Medical page describes General Medicine as a programme covering basic sciences, fundamental medicine, clinical medicine, community health, research and English. It identifies the major code as 7720101 and states a six-year, 18-semester training duration leading to a Medical Doctor degree issued under Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training framework.
The university’s public medical page is written primarily for its Vietnamese admissions system. International applicants therefore need a separate written confirmation that the offered seat is in the international medical programme, that the student’s documents are accepted, and that the final degree and training structure match the intended pathway.
What does the six-year curriculum include?
The published curriculum combines general education, medical sciences, clinical subjects, practical training and a graduation module. DNU lists 218 total credits, including professional education, basic disciplinary knowledge, specialised knowledge, practical training and general knowledge. It also lists general English and specialised medical English.
The university’s structure shows an early foundation phase followed by organ-system modules, medical practice and later clinical subjects. Its medical page refers to a pre-clinical centre for communication, history taking and skills in internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics and obstetrics-related care. The page also says the programme uses the C.D.I.O. approach and is based on Vietnam’s medical-doctor competency standards.
These statements describe the university’s intended academic design. They do not by themselves prove that every clinical posting, hospital location, patient-language arrangement or internship document will satisfy an Indian licensing pathway. Ask for a year-wise schedule and the written clinical-training plan before admission.
Is the international programme taught in English?
Dai Nam’s international medical materials describe English-medium teaching for Indian students, but confirm the details for your intake. The university’s international medical announcement says the general medicine programme for Indian students is in English and describes a six-year structure. The newer programme material also lists English within the curriculum.
Ask five practical questions:
- Are lectures, practicals and examinations conducted in English?
- Are academic transcripts, completion records and internship documents issued in English?
- Which subjects require Vietnamese language support?
- How are students supported when patients or hospital staff speak Vietnamese?
- What is the exact clinical and internship location for international students?
English-medium teaching is important for Indian students, but the English-medium verification guide explains why the label alone is not enough for an NMC-focused decision.
Dai Nam University MBBS fees: what should parents verify?
Do not treat one online fee figure as the final international fee. The repository’s partner-university data currently lists an indicative tuition figure of $4,100 per year for DNU, while a Dai Nam international-training announcement published in 2025 referred to $5,000 or about VND 125 million per year. Dai Nam’s general admissions FAQ also shows a separate 2025 local medical tuition figure of VND 32 million per term. These are not interchangeable quotes.
The sensible conclusion is that international and local-programme figures may differ, and a current intake-specific quotation is required. Before paying, ask for a document that states:
| Item | Question to confirm |
|---|---|
| Tuition | Is the amount per semester, year or entire programme? |
| Hostel | Is accommodation compulsory, optional or separately contracted? |
| Other charges | Which registration, visa, insurance, translation and service fees apply? |
| Currency | What exchange rate and payment date are used? |
| Refunds | What happens if admission, visa or travel plans change? |
Use the site’s university-wise fee guide for budgeting context, but rely on the current written DNU quotation for the student’s actual offer.
What are the 2026 admission checks?
Start with the university’s international admissions confirmation, then match it against Indian eligibility requirements. DNU’s 2026 medical page lists admission combinations and three general methods: national high-school examination results, school transcripts and direct admission under MOET rules. Those methods are not automatically the same as the route for an Indian applicant.
Indian students should prepare the documents requested by the receiving university, usually including passport, Class 10 and 12 records, PCB evidence, NEET qualification evidence where applicable, photographs and health or visa documents. Confirm the document format, translation, authentication and deadline directly with the university or its documented admissions channel. The eligibility guide explains the Indian-side checks, but it does not override DNU’s current written instruction.
For the Indian licensing pathway, review the NMC’s Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations page and the current FMGL guidance. NMC rules and notices can change; admission to a foreign programme is not a guarantee of future registration in India.
Clinical training and student life in Hanoi
Ask for operational details, not only facility descriptions. DNU describes practice rooms, a pre-clinical centre and a network of hospital partners. A student should ask when hospital exposure begins, which hospitals accept international students, whether rotations are compulsory, how attendance is recorded, who supervises students, and how Vietnamese patient communication is handled.
Hanoi offers a large-city environment with transport, hospitals, services and a sizeable international community. The trade-off is that living costs, traffic and daily logistics may differ from smaller Vietnamese cities. Discuss hostel location, food arrangements, emergency contacts and airport arrival support before departure. Parents can also use the city and lifestyle comparison when comparing Hanoi with other partner locations.
Official-channel and fraud warning
No consultancy can guarantee admission, a visa, a medical licence, an exam result or a fixed future fee. Verify the university, programme, invoice and beneficiary account before payment. Do not share OTPs, card PINs, banking passwords or an original passport with an intermediary.
