Hanoi University

Message from the President

Welcome to Hanoi University!

As one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the capital city of Vietnam, Hanoi University (HaNU) combines the best of a rich cultural heritage of Hanoi with a vibrant academic experience.

Situated on 8 hectares to the South East of the city in Thanh Xuan district, the university is only 30 minutes away from the old quarter of Hanoi. Our beautiful campus with compact buildings equipped with state-of-the-art facilities is harmoniously merged with surrounding green scenery.

As thousands of our alumni have discovered, HaNU exemplifies the very best traditions of a foreign language college with a wide range of curricula grounded in various foreign languages. HaNU proudly claims itself a multi-cultural environment, yet, preserves the national identities. Nurturing global citizens with innovative and critical mindset, HANU is strongly committed to comprehensive internationalization approach and bound for a regional class university with international standard programs.

Today, HaNU offers multi-discipline programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels delivered in foreign languages and continues to build on its main strengths and foundation that supported the college at its beginning 60 years ago. HaNU embraces the philosophy that students center the institution’s development strategy.

Without a doubt, the best part of HaNU is its people. Members of the university are mindful of their responsibilities towards the institution and its stakeholders. Indeed, in Vietnam, HaNU is a place of highly regarded academic programs, talented and dedicated faculty, and staff who immensely care about students.

I hope you will visit us soon.

Sincerely,
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Trao
President
