National University of Civil Engineering

The National University of Civil Engineering was established in 1966 in Hanoi by the Government Council. Its predecessor wasthe Construction Faculty which had been managed for 10 years by Hanoi University of Science and Technology. Established in the war time, the University had to move from Hanoi Capital to evacuate to different localities in Ha Bac, Vinh Phu, etc. In late 1983, the University returned to Hanoi. Now it operates under the Ministry of Education and Training with its main campus in No. 55, Giai Phong Street, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi. Over 60 years of training, 50 years of establishment and development, each step taken by the National University of Civil Engineering has been closely linked with the development of the industry, the Capital and the country. We have strived to become a multi-disciplinary training university offering educational opportunities from graduate to PhD levels as well as to be one of the leading centers in researching and applying scientific and technological advancements in the field of construction. Until now, the University has educated over 60,000 engineers and architects with more than 5,000 masters and doctors. Different generations of the University’s lecturers and students have been working throughout the country, contributing to the national defense and development.With all this considerable efforts, the National University of Civil Engineering has been granted many distinguished rewards. In 2016, on its 50th anniversary, the National University of Civil Engineeringwas awarded the First-class Independence Order for the second time. Currently, the National University of Civil Engineering is offering study courses in 24 majors/disciplines at graduate level, 17 majors/disciplines at Master's level and 19 majors/disciplines at Ph.D. level.
