Ranking Outcomes
In general, Vietnamese universities have shown a steady improvement in international rankings. However, there is still a significant gap between the top Vietnamese universities and the world’s leading institutions.
For example, the highest-ranked Vietnamese university, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, is ranked around 200th in the QS World University Rankings. This is significantly lower than the top universities in the world, such as the University of Oxford or Harvard University, which are consistently ranked in the top 10.
