Training Objectives<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">NEU&#8217;s doctoral education aims to train scholars with advanced theoretical and applied knowledge and the capacity to conduct independent, innovative research to advance knowledge and address new issues, supervise scientific research, and undertake professional activities in economics, business, and management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">2. Duration and Mode of Study<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The standard duration of doctoral study is four years (48 months). PhD candidates applying with a master&#8217;s degree may register for a three-year (36-month) period of study. The duration is specified in the decision recognizing each PhD candidate&#8217;s admission and in their study and research plan for the entire program.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Doctoral education is delivered on a full-time basis. PhD candidates must devote sufficient time to study and research at NEU in accordance with their approved plans; specifically, they must register for a full 30 credits during at least the first two academic years of the academic program.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3. Programs, Admissions Quotas, and Languages of Instruction<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">NEU&#8217;s total doctoral admissions quota for 2025 is 180 PhD candidates (quotas by field are detailed in Section 4), including:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3.1. Standard doctoral programs: Admissions are offered for 26 doctoral academic programs. The language of teaching and learning is Vietnamese. Doctoral dissertations may be written and defended in Vietnamese or English.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3.2. Doctoral programs in English (E-PhD): The admissions quota is 10 PhD candidates across two academic programs, Economics and Business Administration. English is the language of study and of writing and defending doctoral dissertations, with higher foreign language proficiency requirements than those for standard doctoral programs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">3.3. Doctoral programs for foreign nationals: Admissions are offered for 26 doctoral academic programs with content similar to the standard doctoral programs, exclusively for foreign PhD candidates (with priority given to Lao and Cambodian nationals) who wish to study and write their dissertations in English. A minimum of three PhD candidates is required for an academic program to run.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4.

The duration is specified in the decision recognizing each PhD candidate&#8217;s admission and in their study and research plan for the entire program. Doctoral education is delivered on a full-time basis. PhD candidates must devote sufficient time to study and research at NEU in accordance with their approved plans; specifically, they must register for a full 30 credits during at least the first two academic years of the academic program. 3.
