Hue University of Sciences

What Hue University of Sciences does

Hue University of Sciences (Trường Đại học Khoa học, ĐH Huế, abbreviated HUSC) is a Vietnamese public university operating as a member institution of Hue University under the Ministry of Education and Training. Established in its current form on 27 October 1976 by Prime Ministerial Decision 426/TTg through the merger of the University of Sciences and University of Arts and Letters of the former Hue Institute of Higher Education (founded 1957), HUSC was reorganized under Government Decree 30/CP in 1994. The university delivers undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs across 16 faculties spanning natural sciences, social sciences-humanities, and engineering-technology disciplines, enrolling 6,500+ students and having produced 55,000+ graduates to date. Its 2030 vision is to become the leading multi-disciplinary research university in Central Vietnam and a recognized institution in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

The institution's operational backbone consists of four interconnected digital platforms: an Admission Information System (tuyensinh.husc.edu.vn), a Credit-based Training Management System (ums.husc.edu.vn), a peer-reviewed Journal of Science and Technology (jos.husc.edu.vn), and an academic Library (lib.husc.edu.vn). Beyond its core academic product, HUSC operates a specialized high school (THPT Chuyên Khoa học Huế) for gifted science students, co-hosts international research workshops, and runs transfer-degree programs in partnership with other Vietnamese institutions (e.g., the 2026 journalism transfer program with the College of Radio Television II). Revenue is generated from three streams: undergraduate/graduate tuition (heavily subsidized by the Ministry of Education), state budget allocation for public university operations, and research grants from national foundations such as Nafosted. Marketing and enrollment are conducted through Vietnam's national university entrance examination system, the university's own admissions portal, regional high school recruitment, and a Facebook presence.
