The Oxford English as a Second Language (ESL) program provides students with a strong foundation in the four essential language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Beyond language proficiency, the programme also develops academic competencies and essential global citizenship skills through rich learning content and engaging activities.
OVERVIEW OF
INTERNATIONAL PATHWAY
Starting from the 2026–2027 academic year, UTS officially implements an integrated pathway that combines the Oxford International Curriculum (OIC) with the Vietnamese National Curriculum. With the Oxford International Curriculum from the United Kingdom as its core academic framework, this pathway aims to develop a strong academic foundation, advanced English proficiency, and a well-structured pathway for overseas university study, while fully meeting the requirements of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training.
Core subjects
The Mathematics programme equips students with comprehensive mathematical vocabulary and terminology from basic to advanced levels. New concepts are introduced through clear visual illustrations to support the development of mathematical thinking. The program also includes advanced topics designed to strengthen students’ problem-solving skills.
The Science program within the Oxford International Curriculum builds a solid foundation for deeper academic study and prepares students to become future scientists. It equips them with the skills necessary to succeed in scientific exploration and inquiry..
The Computer Science program equips students with essential skills for the digital age. Through each lesson, students gradually learn programming languages and algorithms to solve problems.
The program also emphasises computational thinking and creativity, enabling students to design and develop their own technology projects
This program helps students unlock their potential by approaching real-world challenges creatively, sharing diverse perspectives, and collaborating effectively through project-based learning. Built on the Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach, the program believes every student can grow and become a creative, courageous learner who is willing to experiment and reflect on their own development with honesty and responsibility.
Wellbeing is defined as “general health and happiness.” It represents the balance between physical health, mental wellbeing, and life satisfaction.
Students with strong wellbeing are healthy, purposeful, socially connected, and capable of managing emotions and life challenges in a balanced way.
Performing Arts at UTS is taught entirely in English, allowing students to naturally use the language in creative contexts. Through hands-on projects such as theatre, puppetry, and artistic reinterpretations, students develop creativity, confidence in self-expression, and teamwork skills.
Core subjects
Students develop advanced vocabulary, reading comprehension, and communication skills. They learn to analyse complex academic texts in English and confidently express their ideas using the language.
The Mathematics curriculum includes advanced topics such as calculus, statistics, and linear algebra, equipping students with the analytical and problem-solving skills required for STEM fields.
Through interdisciplinary projects connected to global issues and real-world contexts, this subject helps UTS-ers develop critical thinking, creativity, research skills, and collaboration while fostering responsible global citizenship.
Combining Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, this subject builds a strong scientific foundation while developing experimental skills, data analysis abilities, and scientific thinking for future STEM pathways.
Elective subjects
Provides foundational knowledge of global business, management, marketing, and finance, helping students develop managerial thinking and practical business planning skills.
Students learn how markets operate and study key microeconomic and macroeconomic principles, developing analytical thinking and logical reasoning for future studies in economics, finance, and business.
Expands students’ understanding of human behaviour in social contexts, strengthening research and analytical skills while applying sociological concepts to real-life situations.
Develops logical thinking, programming skills, and problem-solving abilities through topics such as programming languages, cybersecurity, and website development, preparing students for careers in technology and digital innovation.
Students may choose three out of the five elective subjects, including:
Students further develop the four core English skills to read, analyse, and produce academic texts.
The A-Level Mathematics curriculum includes complex topics such as calculus, statistics, and linear algebra, equipping students with advanced analytical skills required for STEM disciplines.
These subjects provide comprehensive knowledge of theory and experimental techniques, preparing students for university programmes such as medicine, engineering, and environmental science, while strengthening research and data analysis skills.
Students explore how the human mind works, studying psychological theories and research methods that support future pathways in the social sciences.
This subject builds strong foundations in business principles and strategies while developing analytical thinking, planning skills, and an understanding of global economic contexts, preparing students for future careers in business, management, and entrepreneurship.
