List of universities in Vietnam

The public higher education system in Vietnam basically consists of 2 levels: university system (called đại học) and university (usually specialize in a fixed scientific field; called trường đại học).

The current Vietnamese government also maintains a national key university policy.

Vietnam currently exists 7 university systems (đại học)[a], each university system divided into many member universities or constituent colleges (trường đại học), member schools (trường or khoa) or member institutes (viện) specializing in training and researching a specific group of disciplines to create their own strengths.

Vietnam National University (VNU; Đại học Quốc gia) is a special hierarchy of the Vietnamese higher education system.

VNUs are not under the management of the Ministry of Education or any other organization, but operate completely independently, only under the control of the Prime Minister of Vietnam.

The Vietnam Buddhist Academy system is managed independently by the Sangha through the Central Board of Education for Monks and Nuns.

The Minister of National Defense sets admission standards for each academy such as candidate's background, entry health, quota,...

This list includes universities in Vietnam but established and managed by international organizations or foreign governments.

Normally, these universities have the right to enroll students by separate methods, independent of the general regulations of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education.
