BIS Ho Chi Minh City's Class of 2026 Lands Offers from Cambridge to Amsterdam
Graduates from the British International School's secondary campus have secured places at leading universities across the UK, Europe, the US, and Asia, capping a strong year for the school.
The British International School Ho Chi Minh City is closing the 2025–26 academic year with a strong set of university destinations for its graduating cohort. According to BIS HCMC, the Class of 2026 has received offers from the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, the University of Manchester, the University of Edinburgh, Trinity College Dublin, and the University of Amsterdam, with earlier rounds of offers also coming in from institutions in the US, Australia, and across Asia.
The breadth of destinations reflects a deliberate push by the school's secondary campus to broaden the range of universities that students consider. Rather than a UK-only focus, the graduating year has fielded applications across multiple anglophone systems and increasingly into continental Europe, with Amsterdam now appearing alongside the traditional Russell Group names as a meaningful destination.
A milestone cohort
For some in the Class of 2026, the moment carries particular resonance. The school has highlighted students who enrolled at BIS HCMC as two- and three-year-olds and are now preparing to graduate, completing what the school describes as a full all-through journey. The story underlines the degree to which Nord Anglia's Ho Chi Minh City campus has established itself as a long-term school of choice for expatriate and international families in Vietnam rather than a short-stay option.
The school has also drawn attention this term to its STEM Racing programme, in which secondary students develop engineering, design, and business skills while preparing to compete internationally, with the next stage of competition set to take place in Singapore.
Results season across the region
BIS HCMC's announcement arrives during a busy period for university results across British international schools in Asia. Schools from Singapore to Shanghai are publishing their 2026 destination data as the academic year winds down, and competition for brand recognition among a mobile parent population means these announcements carry real commercial weight. For BIS HCMC, a Cambridge offer in the headline is both a genuine achievement for an individual student and a signal to the wider Vietnam international school market about the academic ceiling the school can reach.
