“…Experts also place high value on financial policies, with appropriate tuition fees being the subfactor with the highest priority. These study results agree with those of Belmonte et al (2022) and Bietenbeck et al (2023), who noted the important role of tuition fees in the decision-making process related to students' university choice. Currently, in addition to complying with the general regulations of the Government on tuition fees, the VNU and its member units also expand tuition support policies and scholarship programs for learners.…”

Branding is a crucial strategy for universities to gain an advantage over their competitors in the face of increased competition in higher education, especially in admission activities. This study aimed to identify and prioritize the university brand components that influence the attraction of prospective students. In this study, the Delphi method is combined with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to identify eight factors, comprising 31 subfactors that constitute the university's brand. These factors and subfactors are then prioritized in attracting prospective students. The data were gathered through four rounds of interviews with experts who were leaders or individuals with extensive experience in communication or enrollment at member universities of Vietnam National University, Hanoi. The research findings indicate that the five factors considered to be the highest priority in attracting potential learners are the university's training program, reputation, human resources, financial policies, and communication activities. Additionally, this study presents the priority rankings of 31 subfactors.

“…A low-income student will choose a school whose tuition they can comfortably pay. Bietenbeck et al (2023) showed that tuition fees motivate current students to work harder and finish their degrees. On the other hand, fees reduce high school graduates' first-time university enrollment.…”

This study investigates the difference between the utility of general higher education (GHE) and Islamic higher education (IHE), students' enrolment intention, and their correlation. Data were collected using questionnaires. The participants of this study were 753 students in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Researchers used convenience and snowballing sampling techniques. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Spearman's correlation. This study proves that the level of utility and all its factors (economic and non-economic benefit, probability of success, and cost) differ significantly between GHE and IHE (Sig<0.05). Moreover, it was found that all factors correlate with enrolment intention (Sig<0.05). However, correlation coefficients indicate that the cost of GHE and IHE is the factor with the weakest correlation (p=0,139 and p=0.084) with enrolment intention. The strongest correlation with enrolment intention is the utility of GHE and IHE (p=0,597 and p=0.579) and the possibility of success in GHE and IHE(p=0,614 and p=0.530). This study offers practical recommendations for higher education institutions and suggests future research.
