Hanoi University of Science and Technology Graduates Continue to Affirm Their Competence with European Scholarships 2026

The latest data released by the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Vietnam in early June 2026 paints a bright picture for Vietnamese students receiving the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. This is a prestigious Master's program that provides full financial support for students to study in multiple European countries. Although the selection criteria are increasingly strict, Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) maintains an impressive performance by contributing many outstanding faces to the national list of successful applicants. This achievement brings pride to the University while opening up practical perspectives on international study opportunities for engineering students.

Impressive Results in the Erasmus Mundus 2026 Season

According to the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam, this year, Vietnam has 55 students winning scholarships for Erasmus Mundus programs, of which 36 received full scholarships. This achievement helps Vietnam maintain its second-place position in Southeast Asia and rank 18th globally in the number of scholarship recipients.

Particularly at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, as of June 2, 2026, 6 students have officially inscribed their names on the list of full scholarship recipients.

Although the number of full scholarships awarded to Vietnamese candidates this year decreased significantly compared to previous years due to increasingly fierce global competition, the fact that Hanoi University of Science and Technology maintained the number of 6 scholarships shows stability in the training quality and competence of HUST graduates.

The students winning Erasmus Mundus scholarships this year come from various Schools within the University: School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, School of Mechanical Engineering, School of Information and Communication Technology, and School of Chemistry and Life Sciences. The value of each scholarship is approximately 50,000 euros for 2 years of study, covering full tuition fees, travel expenses, and monthly living allowances.

Erasmus Mundus attracts global students with its unique joint training model. Learners will spend time researching in at least 2 different European countries. After completing the 1 - 2 year program, students are awarded double or joint degrees from top partner universities. This helps them access advanced education systems, experience diverse cultures, and build a worldwide professional network.

The fields of study in which Vietnamese students were accepted in 2026 are very diverse, including: Sustainable Environment, Chemistry, Nanotechnology, Space Science, Applied Cybersecurity, and Health Sciences. This diversity shows that the knowledge foundation at domestic universities in general, and Hanoi University of Science and Technology in particular, is highly compatible with international intensive research requirements.

Roll Call of 6 HUST Students Reaching Out to the Big Sea

One of the highlights of the Erasmus Mundus 2026 season is the success of Nguyen Thanh Thu, an alumna of the K64 Control and Automation Talent class, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Thanh Thu excellently gained admission to the EMMaH - Euro-Asian Master in Medical Technology and Healthcare Business program, a major focusing on Medical Technology and Healthcare Business.
  Thu is one of the rare successful cases of pivoting to a field that intersects engineering, healthcare, and business. This result affirms that selection committees highly appreciate the adaptability and foundational thinking of HUST students.

At the School of Mechanical Engineering, Nguyen Dang Duy (class ME1 05 - cohort 66) conquered the scholarship for the EU-CORE program, specializing in control technology for renewable energy systems.
  Meanwhile, Le Duc Anh (class BF1 01 - cohort 66) from the School of Chemistry and Life Sciences will pursue the Bioceb program on Biological and Chemical Engineering for a Sustainable Bio-economy. These choices accurately reflect the current technological development trend linked to environmental protection and clean energy.
  The School of Information and Communication Technology recorded a particularly special result when up to 3 graduates of Hanoi University of Science and Technology were simultaneously accepted into the CYBERSURE - Master in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance program. As a general rule, each country usually accounts for no more than 10% of the total full scholarships of a specific program. Having 3 students from the same university accepted is exceptionally rare, demonstrating the prestige of Hanoi University of Science and Technology in this field.

The list includes: Dinh Thi Huong (cohort 63), Hoang Duy Anh (cohort 66), and Dang Nhat Duy (cohort 65).
 
Notably, Dang Nhat Duy concurrently won scholarships for two programs: CYBERSURE and CyberMACS - Master in Applied Cybersecurity.
  These numbers reinforce the belief in the competitiveness of HUST graduates on the international academic map.

Removing Psychological Barriers for Current Students

Currently, many Vietnamese students in general, and HUST students in particular, still do not know much about the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship or hold apprehensions, believing this scholarship is too difficult and far-fetched.

However, according to Ms. Luong Minh Phuong - an alumna of Biomedical Engineering, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, who is currently in charge of student communication at the Erasmus Mundus Association - Vietnam - the reality is much more optimistic. Ms. Phuong said the professional knowledge foundation and soft skills of students trained at HUST are very good, fully capable of competing in the international arena!

Maintaining the achievement of 6 - 7 Hanoi University of Science and Technology graduates winning the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship each year over the past 3 years is a clear example of this assessment. You don't need to be exceptionally outstanding; rather, you need thorough preparation and to make good use of the existing academic foundation forged at HUST. Even cases applying outside their major have a chance of success if they know how to tell a convincing story about their personal capabilities and the diverse knowledge foundation that HUST provides.

The Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2026 results continue to be a positive signal for students aspiring to enter Hanoi University of Science and Technology and current students studying here. HUST not only provides solid specialized engineering knowledge but also creates a launchpad for students to reach the heights of global education. Erasmus Mundus is an ideal choice for HUST students who want to expand their knowledge and experience life in Europe with full financial support.

The upcoming congratulatory event for the new Erasmus Mundus students will be an opportunity for the student community to share experiences and pass on inspiration. With more than 700 scholarships awarded to Vietnamese students from 2004 to present, the door to Europe is always wide open for those who dare to dream and strive.

The success of the 6 alumni of Hanoi University of Science and Technology with the prestigious Erasmus Mundus scholarship in 2026 are the most prime examples. They have shown that with serious preparation, Vietnamese students in general and Hanoi University of Science and Technology graduates in particular can stand equally with international peers in the most prestigious intellectual arenas.

The years studying at Hanoi University of Science and Technology will provide all the necessary elements for you to confidently step out into the world!
