This marks a notable increase from last year, when only eight universities in Vietnam were listed. The Hue University and the University of Danang have entered the rankings for the first time this year.
The QS rankings evaluate universities based on their sustainability efforts across three core areas: environmental impact, social impact, and governance. They assess how institutions contribute to sustainable development through research, teaching, and community engagement.
The Vietnam National University, Hanoi, stands out with a remarkable rise of 456 places, now ranked 325th, making it the top-ranked institution in Vietnam. This significant improvement is attributed to its enhanced performance across all three sustainability criteria: governance, environmental impact, and social impact.
The inclusion of more Vietnamese universities in the QS sustainability rankings highlights the growing recognition of their contributions to global sustainability efforts.
