About VinUniversity

VinUniversity (VinUni) is Vietnam’s first private, not-for-profit university built to international standards. Established to transform higher education in Vietnam, VinUni blends global best practices with local context to become a world-class institution.

VinUni comprises of more than 1700 students and 4 colleges: College of Arts and Sciences; College of Business and Management; College of Engineering and Computer Science; and College of Health Sciences. 

Every aspect of the University: its curricula, research, faculty, student body, facilities, and campus life, is developed to meet the highest standards set by the world’s leading accrediting and ranking organizations, such as ABET, AACSB, WFME, ACEN, Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) and Times Higher Education (THE). 

In September 2024, VinUni became the youngest and fastest university in the world to achieve QS 5 stars across 9 categories: global engagement, good governance, program strength, academic development, teaching, employability, facilities, arts, and social impact.  In October 2024, VinUni was appointed by UNESCO as the first and only UNESCO University Chair, focusing on Environmental Leadership, Cultural Heritage, and Biodiversity.

Founded by Vingroup—one of Asia’s largest private conglomerates—VinUni benefits from a strong ecosystem of businesses in three main areas: Industrials & Technology; Real Estate & Services; Infrastructure; Green Energy; and Social Enterprises.

Aligned with VinUni’s Vision 2030, we are proud to announce our bold initiative to recruit 200 Research-focused Faculty across various disciplines. Together, we will be on the ambitious journey to become one of the world’s top universities by 2030.
