Hanoi (VNA) – Te🅺n Vietnamese universities have secured spots in the QS World University Rankings: Sustainability 2025, which were recently released by the UK-based education organisation Quacquarelli Symജonds (QS).

This marks a notable increase from last year, when only eight universities in Vietnam were listed. The Hue University and the University of Danang have entered the rankings for the first time this year. The QS rankings evaluate universities based on their sustainability efforts across three core areas: environmental impact, social impact, and governance. They assess how institutions contribute to sustainable development through research, teaching, and community engagement. The Vietnamese universities featured in the 2025 rankings include the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (325th), Duy Tan University (538th), University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (653rd), Hanoi University of Science and Technology (702nd), Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (880th), Ton Duc Thang University (921-930), Can Tho University (1,061-1,080), Nguyen Tat Thanh University (1,451-1,500), Hue University (1,501+), University of Da Nang (1,501+). The Vietnam National University, Hanoi, stands out with a remarkable rise of 456 places, now ranked 325th, making it the top-ranked institution in Vietnam. This significant improvement is attributed to its enhanced performance across all three sustainability criteria: governance, environmental impact, and social impact. The university’s success reflects its long-term commitment to sustainable development. With a strong focus on research in climate change, clean energy, and biodiversity conservation, the Vietnam National University, Hanoi has made substantial contributions both at home and internationally. Its partnerships with global research institutions have amplified its impact, while initiatives in gender equality, community support, and public health have furthered its role in improving social well-being. The inclusion of more Vietnamese universities in the QS sustainability rankings highlights the growing recognition of their contributions to global sustainability efforts./.
