Two Vietnamese universities listed in global rankings
According to the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology has been named among the world’s best ‘Golden Age’ universities for 2020.
In the list, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology is the only Vietnamese representative to be named among the world’s best ‘Golden Age’ 200 universities.
The University of California in San Diego ranked first of the world’s best “Golden Age” universities for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, the Australian National University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Seoul National University made up the rest of the top four, while the UNSW Sydney is fifth, a boost since last year’s list when it was ranked joint eighth.
The ‘Golden Age’ rankings are decided based on a range of criteria, including teaching environment, international outlook, and research environment.
Earlier, the Times Higher Education rankings also placed the Hanoi University of Science and Technology among the world’s top 400 universities in terms of engineering and technology. Furthermore, the university was also voted among the best 1,000 universities worldwide by the prestigious magazine.

For its part, The University of Economics – Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has been ranked among the world’s Top 25 performing universities in income from continuous professional development, which concerns the level of knowledge transfer, by U-Multirank.
This is the fourth time the UEH has been listed in the ranking. This year, it is the only Vietnamese university earning a place in this list.
U-Multirank is an independent ranking prepared with seed funding from the European Commission’s Erasmus programme.
It is a multidimensional, user-driven approach to international ranking of higher education institutions, comparing the performances of universities in the five dimensions of university activity: teaching and learning, research, knowledge transfer, international orientation and regional engagement.
