University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City

Vietnamese name: Đại học Kinh tế Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh.

Type

Public university. Source. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Autonomy

Historical autonomy-pilot evidence: Prime Minister Decision 2377/QĐ-TTg approved the university’s operational-mechanism pilot for 2014–17. This is historical evidence only; current financial classification, organizational rules and foreign-program approval scope remain unverified. Official record. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Accreditation

MOET’s official register, data through September 30, 2026, lists institutional accreditation by FIBAA, certificate issued November 30, 2022, valid through November 29, 2027. International institutional table. 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 4 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

The May 24, 2025 public disclosure reports 39,400 learners in its HEMIS scale table: 28,644 full-time undergraduates; 5,207 work-study undergraduates; 5,195 masters students; 354 doctoral students; zero distance learners. The surrounding indicator tables refer to 2024, but this scale table does not state its own exact census date. Preserve that limitation. Disclosure, training scale table. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Program strengths

Business/management, economics, law and information technology appear in the 2025 disclosure; offered fields are not a comparative-strength score. Source. Last verified: October 21, 2026.

Existing foreign partners

Historical Harvard Kennedy School cooperation through the Fulbright Economics Teaching Program; see the case for dates and institutional transition. Do not present this as a current UEH-Harvard dual degree. Evidence. 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.
