Three Vietnamese universities named among leading global institutions
VOV.VN - The UK’s Times Higher Education (THE) has released their Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021, with the Vietnam National University in Hanoi being named among the list’s top 251 to 300 high education institutes.
In total three Vietnamese universities were listed in the global rankings, including Vietnam National University Hanoi (VNU-Hanoi), the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), along with the Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-Ho Chi Minh City).
Most notably, VNU-Hanoi is placed among the world’s leading 251 to 300 institutions. Elsewhere, the HUST was ranked between 351 and 400, with the VNU-Ho Chi Minh City named between the top 401 and 500 educational establishments.
Furthermore, the TH Emerging Economies University Rankings 2021 includes only universities that are based in countries which are classified by the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE Group as “advanced emerging”, “secondary emerging”, or “frontier”.
The rankings make use of the same 13 performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings in order to judge institutions based on a variety of factors, including their teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook. Despite this, they have different methods of calculating them in order to reflect the development priorities of universities located in emerging economies.
In total, 606 universities make up the rankings this year, up from 533 in 2020, whilst 48 territories are represented, one more than was recorded in last year’s list.
