NEU was established under Decree No. 678-TTg dated January 25, 1956, initially as the School of Economics and Finance. The institution was part of the Vietnam People’s University system under the direct authority of the Prime Minister. NEU’s vision is to become a research-oriented, multidisciplinary university spanning multiple fields, ranking among Vietnam’s top five universities and Asia’s top 100 universities in economics, management, and business administration according to international ranking standards. One of its first strategies toward this vision was to develop and transition to a three-tier university organizational model. Based on this objective, NEU developed a proposal to establish constituent colleges and promptly sought feedback from all its officials, staff, and employees to finalize the proposal and issue resolutions establishing three colleges.

Speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Chuong, President, said, “NEU has undergone nearly 70 years of establishment, development, and growth. Although many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, today we can take pride in what we have accomplished. Today’s results reflect the collective wisdom, efforts, and solidarity of generations of leaders, officials, staff, employees, and students. We can take pride in our facilities, the quality of our teaching, and the University’s increasingly strong standing in society.”
Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Chuong also emphasized that the world is undergoing considerable upheaval, while science and technology are making remarkable new advances. Humanity stands on the threshold of profound change and development in the future, but many challenges and unknowns also lie ahead. In this context, strengthening solidarity, joint efforts, and unity across the University’s teaching community is more necessary than ever to gradually make NEU a multidisciplinary university spanning multiple fields and an exemplary university in the coming years. The President expressed confidence that, with this spirit and its core and humanistic values, NEU would continue to pioneer education and research across all fields to contribute to development, fulfill its social responsibility, and achieve further accomplishments and breakthroughs, advancing steadily toward regional stature and international integration.
On behalf of the University’s leadership, Prof. Pham Hong Chuong also congratulated faculty members who had been appointed or reappointed and wished them even greater success in their new roles. He wished all faculty members good health, happiness, and success.
