Five Vietnamese institutions named in QS 2017 University Rankings for Asia
Five Vietnamese schools for higher education have been listed in a ranking of Asian universities, placing them among the top 400 universities on the continent.
QS Intelligence Unit (QSIU), an independent source of global intelligence in the higher education sector, provides comprehensive rankings for universities around world.
The QS ranking is a tiered list, with the first 250 schools in the top tier, followed by separate tiers for 251-260, 261-270, 291-300, 301-350, and 351-400.

Leading the Vietnamese schools, the Vietnam National University-Hanoi (VNU-Hanoi) was listed at 139, followed by the Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) at 142, a five-spot jump from 2016.
Having both of Vietnam’s national universities listed amongst the top-150 is a significant achievement for the Southeast Asian country.

1. Academic Reputation from Global Survey 30%
2. Employer Reputation from Global Survey 20%
3. Faculty Student Ratio 15%
4. Citations per Paper from Scopus 10%
5. Papers per Faculty from Scopus 10%
