Put your business skills to the test

Are you interested in studying Business and want to test your skills against Vietnam's top high school students?

The Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Melbourne is excited to launch the 2025 Vietnam Case Competition. During the competition, you’ll take a Business Masterclass and have the opportunity to meet the academic and industry experts who teach in the Faculty. Plus, winners get top prizes of up to AUD $3000.

The competition is for teams of 3 to 5 Grade 11 - 12 students from the same school in Vietnam - keep reading to find out how to enter.

How does it work?

The Case Competition comprises of three key stages:

  1. Written proposal

    The first stage involves all registered teams submitting a written proposal to the Case Competition Statement. This should be in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, up to 10 slides maximum. The proposals will be evaluated, and a shortlist of the top teams will move to stage 2.

  2. Semi final presentations

    The second stage is the Semi Final, where the shortlisted teams are invited to compete by presenting their proposal online to a panel of expert judges from the Faculty of Business and Economics.

  3. Final presentations

    Teams who progress to the final stage of the competition will be invited to attend our Grand Final event in Ho Chi Minh City to present their submissions to a panel of judges comprised of University of Melbourne academic staff, and a leading industry expert in person.

    The University of Melbourne will cover travel and accommodation expenses for teams who progress to the Grand Final and who are not located in Ho Chi Minh City.
