MESSAGE OF THE RECTOR We welcome you to VNU University of Economics

and Business.

In the international integration and globalization

context, due to the demand for high quality human

resources, tertiary education needs new approaches to

enhance the competitiveness of nations. Having a

45-year tradition of development since the establish-

ment of the Faculty of Political Economy, the University

of Hanoi (1974) upgraded into the Faculty of Econom-

ics, Vietnam National University, Hanoi (1999) and cur-

rently as a VNU member university (2007), the VNU University of Economics

and Business is highly proud of the glorious journey which has been undertaken

by many generations of lecturers and students over the decades.

Being a cradle of tertiary education, VNU University of Economics and

Business has created, cultivated, and developed talents in the field of econom-

ics, management, and business administration. Many graduated students have

held leading positions in core agencies while many others have become presti-

gious scientists or successful entrepreneurs. They all provide true evidence to

persuade society that the University has strengthened its position and trade-

mark as a prestigious education institute in the international integration process,

with accredited academic programs, innovative and practical research, and con-

sultancy provided to the Government, provincial authorities, and enterprises in

Vietnam.

The UEB has always followed four core values, i.e., Encouraging creativi-

ty, nurturing passion; Respecting differences, promoting cooperation; Highlight-

ing quality and effectiveness; Ensuring harmony and sustainable development.

These are considered as a firm foundation for the University to enhance its rank-

ing index, maximize resources and technical solutions so as to build it into an

advanced university governance model.

We welcome you to the UEB. Thank you for having chosen us as a tertia-

ry education destination that can help you advance further in your careers and

earn over a lifetime. We will stand shoulder to shoulder with you to EXPLORE

new potentials, to CONSTRUCT new opportunities; to be CREATIVE to experi-

ence and facilitate KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER successfully, and to BRING

scientific value and social service up to a new height.

“I think the university is very different

from what we used to, but it’s very nice.

�e teachers are very good, very quali-

fied. �e facilities are good. It’s a very

nice experience to study here. Also

because the teachers give us Asia busi-

ness’s view instead of European busi-

ness’s view.”

Léon Antoine

University of Rennes I, France.

“I chose Vietnam National University

because there is a partnership with my

university in France. �is is my choice

because I want to discover Asia, Asian

culture and Vietnam. �e teachers

teaching us were very good. �ey inte-

grate with the students, some of them

speak French so it’s very easy and the

class is very interesting.”
