In accordance with the national higher education reform plan, NTU had prepared to transform from a year-based training system to the credit-based training system since 1990. The credit system has gradually been adopted since 1995, enhancing training quality and services and recognizing students as the center of the training process. Nha Trang University was among the first 20 universities of Vietnam that were assessed and accredited in 2009 by The National Council for Higher Education Accreditation and Quality Assurance. In 2018, Nha Trang University successfully got higher education accreditation for the second time. Besides, the first two training programs: Ship Engineering and Seafood Processing Technology were accredited in 2019.

The full-fledge university currently has 25 faculties, institutes, research centers, technology transfer centers and 8 managerial departments. NTU now offers 37 programs for bachelor degrees, 16 programs for master's degrees and 6 programs for doctoral degrees. Additionally, the university also provides associate degrees and various programs for vocational training, short training courses, summer programs and so on to meet the demand of society. It has a stable enrolment of more than 3,500 new students annually and the total number of students is approximately 16,000.

With a strong background in training and research, NTU has become a partner of choice for many international organizations. We have successfully cooperated to implement international degree programs including the NOMA-FAME program - an MSc program in Fisheries and Aquaculture Economics (with Norwegian partners), the NORHED program - an MSc program in Marine Ecosystem Management and Climate Change (with Norwegian partners), French-Vietnamese bilingual bachelor and Master’s programs in Business Administration and Tourism (with French partners), and a Master’s program in Food Technology (with Belgium partners), etc. Alongside with the degree programs, short-term training courses designed by NTU based on partner's specific requirements have also gained popularity. These programs have been implemented on a regular basis since 2009 and have attracted many students from universities in the US, Australia, the Czech Republic, South Korea, etc. We are proud to have set the corner stone for many to succeed in different walks of life. Our international students have published their research with prestigious scientific journals, received scholarships for further studies in developed countries or becoming leaders of associations. By continuing to promote and diversify the contents as well as format of training programs, NTU is determined to remain a unique, interesting and rewarding education destination for international students.
