Three Vietnamese universities were listed in the 2014 Quacquarelli
Symond (QS) rankings for leading universities in Asia, according to
Nguyen Huu Duc, Deputy Director of the Vietnam National University
(VNU), Hanoi.
The Hanoi-based VNU was named in the QS 161-170 rank, making great strides compared to its 201-250 place in 2012.
The Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City was ranked among the top 191-200 Asian universities while the Hanoi University of Science and Technology belonged to the 251-300 rank.
The rankings were based on major criteria, including evaluations of scholars and recruiters; the student/teacher ratio ; the number of articles published on Scopus, a bibliographic database containing abstracts and citations for academic journal articles ; and the number of foreign lecturers and students working at the campus, Duc explained.
Although the number of scientists working at the country’s higher education system and their internationally-recognised achievements has so far been modest, the prestige of domestic universities has been greatly improved, according to Asian scholars.
