Mr. Nguyen Sanh Dan and Mr. Pham Ngoc Dang were discussing the plan to move the University from Huong Canh, Vinh Phuc to Hanoi in 1982.

Hanoi University of Civil Engineering was established in 1966 in Hanoi by the Government Council. Its predecessor was the Faculty of Construction, which had been managed for 10 years by Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

Established in the war time, the University had to move from Hanoi Capital City and  evacuated to different places in provinces of Ha Bac, Vinh Phu, etc. In late 1983, the University returned to Hanoi. Today it works under the Ministry of Education and Training with its main campus at No. 55, Giai Phong Road, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi.

Development

Over 65 years of training, 55 years of establishment and development, each step taken by Hanoi University of Civil Engineering has been closely linked with the development of the industry, the Capital City and the country as well.

We have strived to become a multi-disciplinary university offering educational opportunities from undergraduate to PhD levels, as well as targeted to be one of the leading centers in research and application of scientific and technological advancements in civil engineering. So far, over 60,000 engineers and architects graduated from the University, among them more than 5,000 hold postgraduate and PhD degrees. The University’s lecturers and students have from generation to generation been working throughout the country, making substantial contributions to the national defense and development.

With all these great efforts, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering has been granted many outstanding rewards. In 2016, on the occasion of the 50th founding anniversary, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering was awarded the First-class Independence Order for the second time.

Educational programs, Organization and Staff

Currently, the university is offering training courses in 57 majors/minors at undergraduate level, 22 majors/ minors at master’s level and 14 majors/ minors at Ph.D. level. The student body at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels amounts to over 20,000 students.

The university is organized as folllows:

Among the University’s teaching staff, there are 20 professors, 99 associate professors, 311 senior and principal lecturers.

Policies of Innovation

Well aware of the University’s missions of “making contributions to the national industrialization, modernization and international integration through the pursuit of education for qualified human resources, scientific research and advanced technology transfer in civil engineering”, Hanoi University of Civil Engineering has fulfilled the policies of fundamental and comprehensive innovation in Education and Training by

+ renewing study programs;

+ evaluating and conducting quality assurance to the University’s operations;

+ enhancing study and teaching facilities, laboratories and library;

+ adjusting the University’s administration mechanism,

+ standardizing administrative procedures towards actively participating in the process of university autonomy and international integration.

With the long and well-established traditions and the achievements gained in the past 65 years of training and 55 years of establishment and development, it is certain that the entire staff of Hanoi University of Civil Engineering will make further efforts to maintain our position of a leading university in civil engineering with a modern environment, creativity and development.
