It was ranked 201–250th in Asia by the QS University Rankings 2020. In 2020, it was one of the first two Vietnamese universities to be included in the QS Global Ranking of Top 150 universities under 50 years old by 2021.[1]
Founded on 27 January 1995, and reorganized on 12 February 2001, under the Decision no. 15/2001/QĐ-TTg by the Prime Minister of Vietnam Phan Văn Khải. The university now provides undergraduate and graduate education to 56,427 students, including:
165 undergraduate programs
133 M.Sc. and M.Eng programs
94 doctoral programs
The education professionals cover technology, natural sciences, basic sciences, social sciences and humanities, literature, foreign languages, and business. The headquarters of the university is in Linh Trung ward, Thủ Đức, Ho Chi Minh City.
On 12 February 2001, Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Văn Khải signed a Decision no. 15/2001/QĐ-TTg on the reorganization of this university. According to the decision, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, the same applied for Vietnam National University, Hanoi, shall have specific internal organization and activity (unlike the one applicable for other Vietnamese universities), will be given priority to involve in education of postgraduate and science research of spheres of technologies, to be a pioneer in education and science, to contribute significantly to the country's economic and scientific development.[citation needed]
Also in this decision, some member colleges were split from Ho Chi Minh City National University and came under the management of the Ministry of Education.[citation needed] At present, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City consists of six member universities, two schools, and one institute:[3]
