VNExpress-Apr 28
The U.K. magazine Times Higher Education (THE) has listed seven schools in Vietnam among those having the most impacts in the world in 2022. The fourth edition of THE’s Impact Rankings, which include 1,406 universities from 106 countries and territories, marks the highest number of Vietnamese schools breaking into the list.
Duy Tan University in Da Nang, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, National Economics University in Hanoi, Ton Duc Thang University in Ho Chi Minh City, and Vietnam National University Hanoi are in the 601-800 group while Hanoi’s Phenikaa and FPT University in Hanoi are in the 801-1000 section. The ranking assesses universities against 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Universities can submit data on as many of these SDGs as they are able. Each SDG has a series of metrics that are used to evaluate the performance of the university on that SDG. Except for FPT University, all six Vietnamese schools scored above average (50 out of 100) for the SDG of decent work and economic growth, which measures universities’ economics research, their employment practices and the share of students taking work placements. In Southeast Asia, Thailand has 51 schools ranked, followed by Indonesia with 28, Malaysia 23, the Philippines 15, Vietnam seven and Cambodia one. Times Higher Education became known for publishing the annual Times Higher Education – Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings, which first appeared in November 2004. In 2009, it broke with QS, the world’s largest international higher education network, and signed an agreement with Thomson Reuters to provide the data instead.
