The original Dalat University was established in 1957 — after support of and requests by Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngô Đình Thục — by the Council of Vietnamese Catholic Bishops as a centre for education.
After the Fall of Saigon in 1975, the Vietnamese name was changed to Đại học Đà Lạt (Dalat University).
Today, it is a multidisciplinary university that offers undergraduate and graduate education for the Central Highlands region.
The campus sits on a hilly area of 40 hectares north of Xuan Huong Lake, beside an international 18-hole golf course.
