Thanh Do University

What Thanh Do University does

Thanh Do University (Trường Đại học Thành Đô) is a private Vietnamese higher education institution headquartered on a single campus in Hoài Đức District, Hanoi, founded on November 30, 2004 by Ngô Xuân Độ (Nhà giáo Nhân dân). The university delivers full-time undergraduate education across 13+ disciplines including Information Technology, Automotive and Electrical Engineering, Accounting, Business Administration, Law, English and Chinese Languages, Hotel Management, Education, Pharmacy, and Nursing, alongside postgraduate programs (Master's in Economic Management, Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacy, and Comparative Linguistics; PhD in Economic Management; the international I-PhD program), distance and part-time learning, and short-term professional certifications.

Its core pedagogical platform is the proprietary WILL (Work-Integrated Learning and Living) model, under which students alternate classroom instruction with paid placements at partner enterprises such as Sun World Ba Na Hills, Unigo Lab School, Đại Phúc Việt Law Firm, and the Diên Hồng Elderly Care Center. Supporting digital infrastructure includes a student information system (sv.thanhdo.edu.vn), the OneUni mobile application, distance-learning delivery via daihoctuxa.thanhdo.edu.vn, an online admissions portal (tuyensinh.thanhdo.edu.vn), a Cambridge Linguaskill authorized testing center, payment integrations with NAPAS and Bảo Kim, and the OESR open educational scientific resources library.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition across undergraduate, postgraduate, and distance-learning cohorts, supplemented by international exchange program fees (5.5-10.1 million VND per program for Văn Sơn winter camps) and unit-priced professional development such as pharmacy continuing education (600,000 VND per session). Marketing is multi-channel, spanning the official website, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Zalo, university fairs, and seasonal livestream admissions series. The institution reports a graduate employment rate of approximately 98% within the first year of graduation and held QS Stars 4-Star certification alongside National Education Quality Accreditation for Cycle 2 (2026-2031) as of late 2025.
