Van Lang University was founded in 1995 when a group of individuals pooled funds to establish an educational institution in the direction of a private university. At that time, the government only allowed the “dan lap” (People Founded) model, so Van Lang University was formed in that model. The school offers undergraduate and graduate training, a centralized full-time curriculum system, including 18 disciplines, organized into 4 groups: Engineering - Technology, Economics, Applied Fine Arts, and Social - Humanities. The school was one of the first 20 universities in Vietnam to participate in the national education quality accreditation system. The National Council for Education Quality Accreditation recommended the Ministry of Education and Training to recognize the school as meeting quality standards on February 5, 2009. In the trend of international integration with innovations in education policies, in 2016, the university was transformed and marked a new beginning.
