On November 6, 2024, the prestigious education organization Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) released the 2025 Asian University Rankings, marking a significant advancement for Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM). Achieving an impressive rank of 184, VNU-HCM has surged 36 places compared to its 2024 standing, solidifying its position in the top 180-200 universities in the region. Additionally, according to the QS World University Rankings 2025, VNU-HCM is ranked in the 901-950 tier, reinforcing its growing prominence on the global academic stage.

This is not only a significant milestone for VNU-HCM but also evidence of the continuous development of higher education in Vietnam in the context of globalization. VNU-HCM continues to lead the higher education system of Vietnam and the ASEAN region.

To achieve this ranking, VNU-HCM has continuously improved the quality of training, promoted scientific research, international cooperation, and enhanced prestigious indicators in the global academic community. Evaluation criteria such as academic reputation, research network, citation rate, and influence in the scientific community play a key role in the QS rankings.
