BUV's awarding body and partners achieve top rankings in UK University League

Partnership with a top-ranked university

The Guardian, one of the most reliable national university rankings in the U.K., alongside The Complete University Guide, The Times, and The Sunday Times rankings, recently released its 2025 University Guide, showcasing the standings of various universities within the BUV partner network.

Notably, the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), a member of the University of London (UoL) federation and a key awarding body for BUV, achieved fourth place in the rankings.

LSE consistently ranks among the top global universities, often placing in the top 3 to top 10 across various rankings, including the QS World University Rankings.

Since BUV's partnership with the UoL began in 2012, the university has offered a variety of degree programs, including Finance, Finance and Accounting, Business and Management, and Economics and Management.

Additionally, BUV is the exclusive provider of UoL's International Foundation Programme (IFP) in Vietnam, further extending the reach of high-quality British education to Vietnamese students.

As of the 2023 UoL exams, 8 out of 7,500 global students from BUV ranked in the top 25 worldwide. Notably, one student achieved the highest overall rank, including top marks in three subjects and the highest average mark.

Global exchange opportunities

The Guardian's rankings are based on a comprehensive evaluation using nine distinct criteria, including teaching quality, career prospects, and overall student feedback.

This rigorous approach ensures a well-rounded assessment of institutional performance, taking into account factors such as the effectiveness of teaching methods, the impact on students' future career opportunities, and overall student satisfaction. By considering these diverse aspects, The Guardian provides a nuanced and reliable measure of each university's strengths and areas for improvement, offering valuable insights for prospective students and stakeholders alike.
