What Hung Vuong University Ho Chi Minh City does

Hung Vuong University Ho Chi Minh City (DHV) is a private non-public multi-disciplinary university headquartered at 194 Lê Đức Thọ, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, founded on 14 August 1995 and re-established under HCMC People's Committee Decision No. 1068/QĐ-UBND in 2009. With 251–500 employees and a 30-year operating history, DHV operates four facilities across HCMC — including a research site inside Quang Trung Software Park — and is structured around seven faculties (Business Administration & Marketing, Languages, Finance–Banking–Accounting, Health Sciences, Law, Interdisciplinary Sciences, Engineering & Technology, and Tourism–Hospitality–Hotels) supported by ten dedicated institutes and centers.

The university delivers an application-oriented education model that embeds modern technology into traditional curricula, anchored by the Institute of Advanced Technology and AI (IATAI) which operates three specialized labs launched in June 2026: AI & Big Data Lab, Smart Factory Lab (Robotics & Automation), and Aero Space Lab (UAV & Satellite). AI and VR/Metaverse technologies are integrated across programs — including AI-powered cardiovascular diagnostic research (94.5% accuracy on 1,000-patient ECG dataset), VR moot courts in Law, VR tourism simulations, and AI-driven language-learning tools. A proprietary LMS and the Institute of Distance Education extend the offering to online and blended learners.

DHV generates revenue primarily through tuition fees and educational services across undergraduate, master's, doctoral, certificate, and international joint programs (including a US Bachelor of Business Administration dual degree). Tuition pricing is not publicly disclosed. The 2026 admissions cycle targets 3,000 full-time undergraduates and is supported by a 75 billion VND scholarship program alongside financial-support partnerships (UniBridge, Xacademy). Distribution is conducted through direct on-campus admissions, a proprietary admissions website, hotline (0287 1000 888), and an extensive industry and academic partnership network (Sheraton, Vietcombank, MISA, UNIMAS, among 25+ partners). Quality accreditation was received in May 2024 for six undergraduate programs.

Direct peers

• FPT University: Vietnam's largest technology-focused private university headquartered in Hanoi with HCMC campuses. Directly comparable to DHV as a non-public, application-oriented, technology-embedded multi-disciplinary institution competing for the same Vietnamese student segment.
• Van Lang University: Major private multi-disciplinary university in Ho Chi Minh City offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs across business, technology, health, languages, and design. Directly comparable on location, multi-faculty structure, and private non-public positioning.

• Ton Duc Thang University: One of Vietnam's largest private universities in HCMC with strong emphasis on research output and international collaboration. Comparable to DHV in multi-disciplinary scope, application-oriented training, and HCMC private positioning, but with significantly larger scale and global rankings.
• HUTECH University of Technology: Private HCMC university with a strong engineering-technology focus and broad program portfolio. Directly comparable to DHV's Faculty of Engineering-Technology and AI/robotics investments, competing for the same technology-aspirational student segment.
• Nguyen Tat Thanh University: Private multi-disciplinary university in HCMC offering programs in business, technology, health sciences, and law. Comparable in scope, geography, and private non-public positioning to DHV.

Broad incumbents

• Saigon University: Public HCMC university with multi-disciplinary programs across natural sciences, social sciences, languages, and education. Comparable in geographic catchment and broad program portfolio, though public rather than private — relevant as a benchmark for accreditation standards and tuition positioning.
• University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH): Vietnam's leading public business and economics university with a national footprint and extensive international partnerships. Comparable on the finance-banking-business education axis and on HCMC positioning, but operates as a larger, public-sector incumbent with stronger employer brand.
