The university also provides doctoral training in 10 disciplines at its main campus in Ho Chi Minh City. Additionally, the Quang Ngai branch offers master's programs in accounting and business administration.
The training of high-level human resources at IUH is closely integrated with research activities, supported by well-defined policies to encourage scientific publication. For postgraduate students, those who are the main authors and publish scientific works under the university's name in WoS/Scopus-listed journals are rewarded with full tuition reimbursement for their entire course. Doctoral students are also required to be the main authors, with rewards granted for articles published under the university's name in WoS/Scopus-listed journals that exceed the publication requirements set at enrollment. As of 2024, the reward for each additional article is 30 million VND. Furthermore, IUH encourages both master's and doctoral students to participate in institutional scientific research projects.
For IUH alumni, the period between their graduation with a bachelor’s or engineering degree and the submission of their application for a master's program must not exceed 12 months. This timeline applies specifically to admission to the MSc program, and English language tuition fees are not included in this provision.
