Nursing, primary education, cooking industry and environmental sciences prove to be branches that many students are choosing to study at university these days.

Students are making registration to take university entrance exams

3,720 students have registered to take university entrance exams to follow the study branch at the HCM City Medical and Pharmaceutical University to become nurse practitioners. Meanwhile, the university plans to enroll only 50 students for the branch, which means that the competition ratio will be very high: 1:65.4.

According to the university, the study branch has become more attractive recently in the eyes of students as it does not require high marks on the university entrance exams and students can easily get jobs after they graduate.

Food technology rising up

The number of registrations for the food technology study branch at the HCM City University of Industry unexpectedly skyrocketed to 12,996 this year, while there were only 2,000 registrations last year. If the university enrolls 200 students like it did last year, the competition ratio will be sky high — 1:65.

Food technology also has become a popular study branch in the Cuu Long River Delta. At Can Tho University, food technology is the study branch which has the highest competition ratio, 1:29.62.

Moreover, environmental science has also been attracting students. At Dong Thap University, the study branch is leading in terms of competition ratio (1:11.3).

Another surprise is that technical geology is the most competitive study branch at the HCM City University of Technology, 1:6.1, followed by industry management 1:5.6 and information technology 1:4.5.

Primary education in the ascendancy

Primary education proves to be the favoured study branch among pedagogical branches.

At the HCM City University of Education, 3,759 students have registered to take exams to enter the primary education faculty, while only 120 students will be chosen, which means the competition ratio of 1:31.3, much higher than the ratios for mathematics and physics branches, which always saw high competition ratios in previous years. At Saigon University, the competition ratio of the study branch is 1:14.12.

This shows that students are aware of the increasingly high demand for primary school teachers, especially as the number of children entering 1st grade rises every year.

Journalism and communications also continues to be the favourite branch at the HCM City University of Social Sciences and Humanities with 1,664 registrations submitted. The branch is leading the university in competition ratio (1:12.8), while the ratios are much lower for other branches (English literature 1:4.1).

Economics study branches account for 38 percent of total registrations

Economics and business administration also remain the top choices of students with 814,000 (38 percent of total registrations).

At Hoa Sen University, business administration is tops in competition ratio 1:21.12.

At the Economics-Law faculty of HCM City National University, foreign economics is leading in competition ratio (1:10.54), followed by business administration (1:9.59) and accountancy and auditing (1:9.50).
