The National Economics University is one of 12 higher education institutions designated by the Government to be developed into leading universities, with the goal of having at least one field ranked among the top 150 globally by 2030. This is not merely a ranking objective but also positions NEU as a key player in the strategy to enhance the quality of higher education, develop high-quality human resources, and increase Vietnam’s international competitiveness in the new era.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Recently, Deputy Prime Minister Le Tien Chau signed Decision No. 1612\/QD-TTg approving the Development Plan to enhance the quality of higher education institutions. According to the Plan, higher education is positioned as a core component and foundation of strategic knowledge infrastructure, playing a crucial role in training high-quality human resources, academic research, innovation, and serving the development of Hanoi as well as the entire country.<\/p>\n\n

One notable direction of the Plan is to focus resources on developing 12 leading higher education institutions, including Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi Law University, Hanoi Medical University, Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, University of Transport and Communications, National Economics University, Vietnam National University of Agriculture, Phenikaa University, Hanoi National University of Education, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering, and VinUni University.<\/p>\n\n

The leading higher education institutions will be prioritized with mechanisms and policies supporting land, infrastructure, taxes, and development space as regulated by the Capital Law.<\/p>\n\n

Aiming for Top 150 Globally in Areas of Strength<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Not only identified among the 12 leading higher education institutions, NEU is also set specific development goals linked to its strengths in training and research.<\/p>\n\n

Accordingly, by 2030, NEU is tasked with the goal of having at least one field ranked among the top 150 globally according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject or equivalent. The identified fields include economics and management, business administration, accounting – finance, marketing, hospitality management, and event management.<\/p>\n\n

In parallel with the ranking objectives, the National Economics University (NEU) aims for at least 70% of its academic programs to achieve international accreditation and 30% of its programs to be taught in English by 2030.<\/p>\n\n

These are specific targets set for the National Economics University, distinct from the general goal of the Project, which aims to have at least two higher education institutions in the capital region ranked among the top 150 universities in Asia by 2030.<\/p>\n\n

Setting these specific goals for NEU demonstrates that the University’s development direction is not solely based on its current scale or status, but aims to substantially enhance the quality of education, academic research, and the degree of internationalization. International rankings thus become a measure reflecting the academic capacity and competitiveness of the fields in which the National Economics University excels.<\/p>\n\n

A 70-Year Foundation of a Center for Economic and Management Training and Research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The objectives set for 2030 are based on the 70-year foundation of the National Economics University, one of Vietnam’s leading institutions in training, research, and policy consultation in the fields of economics, management, and business administration.<\/p>\n\n

Building on its traditional strengths, the National Economics University is gradually developing towards a multi-disciplinary and multi-field approach, where core areas continue to serve as the foundation while enhancing connections with technology, data, and interdisciplinary fields to meet the new demands of the digital economy.<\/p>\n\n

Along with the process of renewing the university governance model, the quality of education is increasingly being placed within an international framework. The National Economics University has implemented institutional quality accreditation and has strengthened the accreditation of academic programs according to both domestic and international standards. Therefore, increasing the proportion of programs achieving international accreditation to at least 70% by 2030 is both a specific goal and a motivation to further standardize the curriculum, teaching methods, faculty, and quality assurance systems of the University.<\/p>\n\n

Simultaneously, the goal of having 30% of programs taught in English sets a requirement to vigorously promote the process of internationalization within educational activities. This not only facilitates the enhancement of learners’ integration capabilities but also expands the potential to attract international students, faculty members, and scholars, boosting academic exchanges and gradually forming a more internationally-oriented educational environment at NEU.<\/p>\n\n

Leading Role in the New Development Phase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The designation of the National Economics University as one of the 12 leading higher education institutions, along with specific goals in field rankings, international accreditation, and English-medium instruction, reflects the expectations for the University’s role in the upcoming phase.<\/p>\n\n

Being a “leader” is thus not only demonstrated by rankings. It also involves pioneering in educational and university governance innovation; creating new knowledge and impactful research; training high-quality human resources; contributing to policy formulation; promoting innovation and exerting influence on the higher education system.<\/p>\n\n

Building on a foundation of 70 years of development, the goals set for 2030 mark a new milestone for the National Economics University (NEU) to continue enhancing the quality of its academic programs and research, promoting international collaboration, fostering innovation, and advancing digital transformation. At the same time, NEU aims to strengthen its role as a leading knowledge center in the fields of economics, management, and business administration.<\/p>\n\n

From its position as one of the 12 leading higher education institutions aiming to have fields ranked in the Top 150 globally, the National Economics University faces both greater opportunities and responsibilities in this new phase of development: not only to elevate NEU’s standing on the international higher education map but also to contribute more significantly to establishing Vietnam as a major hub for education, training, science, technology, and innovation, thereby driving the country’s development in the new era.<\/p>\n\n
