World University Rankings and the Challenges Facing Vietnam’s Universities

Abstract

In 2016, two leading Vietnam national universities were listed among Top 150 of QS Asia Rankings (Quacquarelli Symonds Rankings of Asia –QS Asia). This is the first step in the roadmap to prove the improvement of Vietnam universities education quality. This is also one of the requirements for Vietnam higher education in the context of the regional and the world competition challenges. To obtain better ranking in QS Asia as well as in the World University Rankings, the important thing is that Vietnam universities need to improve their training quality and to implement their own quality assurance using regional and international standards. Once a university’s training quality has been recognized by peer-reviewers or employers, it (the university) has, at the same time, affirmed its regional and the world position.
