The establishment of the FUV - Vietnam’s first independent and not-for-profit higher education institution - was announced in HCM City on May 25, 2016.
It is the next step in the existing Fulbright Economics Teaching Programme, a public policy master’s programme at the Ash Centre within the Kenney School of Government at Harvard, established in 1994 in cooperation with the HCM City-based University of Economics.
Founded under the Prime Minister’s Decision No 819/QD-TTg dated May 16, 2016, the university opened at the end of 2016 with the first courses offered by the department of public policy and management.
