On the afternoon of November 5, 2026, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering (HUCE) held a working session with a delegation from Ninh Binh province to assess the progress of the new training facility project. The delegation was led by Ms. Ha Lan Anh, Vice Chairman of the Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee, along with representatives from various departments and agencies of the province.

Along with significant progress in AUN-QA quality accreditation, the University is building a solid foundation and strong growth momentum towards celebrating its 60th anniversary and 70 years of training tradition.

Speaking at the meeting, Associate Professor Hoang Tung, Secretary of the Party Committee and Rector of the University, affirmed that the Ninh Binh campus is of significant importance in the university's long-term development strategy. He stated that, to date, the administrative building and many other facilities at the Ninh Binh campus have been basically completed and are ready for handover and commissioning according to regulations. To achieve this result, he acknowledged the attention, guidance, and support of the Ninh Binh provincial leadership; the cooperation of the Management Board of the Nam Cao University and High-Tech Zone, consulting firms, contractors, engineers, workers, and the university's staff and lecturers. He particularly emphasized that the university's responsibility extends beyond simply receiving and managing the facility; more importantly, it is crucial to organize its efficient use and avoid waste. In that spirit, HUCE is committed to continuing to coordinate and finalize the handover procedures, promptly preparing the necessary conditions and developing a suitable plan for exploitation and use, gradually maximizing the effectiveness of the Ninh Binh facility in training, scientific research, and professional activities.

Confirming the quality of training according to international standards (AUN-QA)

Alongside expanding its training space, HUCE continuously improves its academic quality. The recent external evaluation by the ASEAN University Network Quality Assurance (AUN-QA) recorded excellent results:

All four key programs (Civil Engineering; Architecture; Construction Economics; and Construction Materials Technology) met the stringent criteria. Of these, two programs achieved a score of 5 out of 75% of the total criteria.

The university is expected to officially receive AUN-QA certification in December 2026 and will continue to conduct assessments for seven more programs in the near future.

With the synergy between modern infrastructure and regionally standardized programs, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering continues to affirm its prestige over the past 60 years. These new facilities will nurture future generations of engineers, architects, and scientists, bringing their knowledge and aspirations to contribute to the nation's development.

The Administration Building was the first structure to be inaugurated, marking a special milestone for the Project.

The Hanoi University of Civil Engineering - Ninh Binh Branch project is located in the Nam Cao University Area, Ha Nam Ward, Ninh Binh Province (formerly Ha Nam Province). The project has a total investment of 1,100 billion VND and aims to train 4,500 to 5,500 students .

• Project progress: The administrative building and many key structures have been basically completed. The goal is to hand them over in the first quarter of 2027 , creating favorable conditions for the school to begin training in the 2027-2028 academic year.

• Development orientation: The new facility will be equipped with modern laboratories and experimental workshops. The local authorities expect the school to promote fields closely related to practical applications such as: new materials technology, advanced construction, green buildings, smart infrastructure, and sustainable urban development.
