University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City

Vietnamese name: Đại học Y Dược Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh.

Type

Public higher-education institution, as classified in the 2024 VNUR table hosted by a Vietnamese public university. This is a dated ownership classification; any subsequent legal conversion remains unchecked. Historical classification. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Autonomy

Not verified: a current, institution-specific instrument establishing financial/academic scope and international-program approval authority has not been checked. Do not infer self-approval from ownership or ranking. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Accreditation

MOET’s official register, data through September 30, 2026, lists institutional accreditation by VNU-HCM CEA, certificate issued January 13, 2024, valid through January 12, 2029. Domestic institutional table, row 47. Official register and attachment. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

This is the register’s institutional scope, not approval of every foreign partnership or professional license eligibility. Check the current certificate and any conditions for the proposed teaching site/program before contracting.

Ranking

VNUR 2026, national rank 49 in the January 2026 table reproduced by VietnamNet. Snapshot source. This is a cohort-selection datum; later revisions are unresolved. See methodology. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Size

Current enrolled headcount and reference year not verified. Intake, alumni, faculty and system/member totals must not substitute for enrollment. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Program strengths

Pharmacy is documented by the faculty accreditation announcement; the 2021 announcement alone cannot establish current assessment validity. Source. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Existing foreign partners

Named partner, model and evidence of current operation not verified in this profile; no claim of absence. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

US university diligence

Confirm the contracting legal entity and teaching site, the specific program approval, award issuer, credit recognition, current accreditation scope, student-protection arrangements and delivery capacity before treating this as a viable partner. This is an editorial diligence prompt, not a finding of a defect.

For general information only, not legal advice. Confirm requirements with qualified counsel and the relevant Vietnamese authorities before acting.
