First university in VN rated four star under QS rankings

Ton Duc Thang University

The TDTU is rated the maximum five stars in the categories of teaching (based on student feedback via national surveys, further study rate, and student faculty ratio), internationalization (proportion of international students and staff), facilities, and inclusiveness (covering accessibility, scholarships and bursaries, gender equality, and low-income outreach).

The ranking is valid within three years from 2018-2021. 

Speaking at the ceremony, President of the Viet Nam General Confederation of Labor (VGCL) Bui Van Cuong asserted that the VGCL always creates most favorable conditions for the TDTU to become a model for the nation’s higher education. 

The TDTU has been listed among top 250 universities on Sustainable Development in the UI Greenmetric World University Rankings and top ten research and educational institutions in Viet Nam based on the Web of Science, an online subscription-based scientific citation indexing service originally produced by the U.S. Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). 

In July 2018, the High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (HCERES) recognized the TDTU as being compliant with French and European standards for universities. This accreditation has been granted for a five-year term, from July 2018 to July 2023.

The university aims to be ranked among top 60 universities in Asia by 2037.
