Hanoi (VNA) – The agro-forestry faculty of Can Tho University was ranked first in Vietnam and in the 251-300 group of the QS World University Rankings by Subject.

This is the first time Vietnam has a representative on the global rankings in the field of agro-forestry.

The UK’s QS World University Rankings 2020 rank 1,368 institutes and schools in 158 countries and territories.

Universities are ranked based on four criteria: Academic Reputation, Employer Reputation, Citations per paper, and H-index (a measure of productivity and impact of scientific publications).
