On April 10, the UK-based education organization Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) announced the 2024 World University Rankings by Subject. Vietnam has 7 representatives, all of whom are familiar names in the rankings such as Hanoi National University, Ho Chi Minh City National University, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics, Ton Duc Thang University, Duy Tan University, and Can Tho University. However, the rankings have changed significantly.
In terms of field rankings, Duy Tan University in Da Nang was named in the field of engineering and technology (ranked 341st, down 15 places), social sciences and management (position 451-500, similar to last year) out of a total of 5 ranked fields. This is also the only Vietnamese representative ranked by field this year, down 2 units and 1 field compared to 2023.
A year ago, Hanoi University of Science and Technology and Ho Chi Minh City National University were ranked 401-450 in the field of engineering and technology, but this year they are not present. Meanwhile, there is still no representative from Vietnam in the world's top 2 fields: life sciences and medicine, arts and humanities.
In terms of industry rankings, the petroleum engineering of Ho Chi Minh City National University surpassed more than 1,500 educational institutions to rank 51-100 in the world, maintaining its ranking from 2023. This ranking is based on factors such as academic reputation, reputation with employers, citation rate of scientific articles, and H-index. This is also the highest position that a training industry of a Vietnamese university has achieved in the QS rankings in recent years.
It is known that the petroleum engineering major is trained by the University of Technology, a member of Ho Chi Minh City National University. This major has a benchmark score of 58.02 in 2023 according to the comprehensive admission method.
Ranked equal to Ho Chi Minh City National University in the petroleum engineering field are many prominent names such as Liverpool University (UK), Case Western Reserve University (USA), Macquarie University (Australia), Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (India), Zhongshan National University (China), Waseda University (Japan), Chulalongkorn University (Thailand)... Meanwhile, Hanoi National University's petroleum engineering field is in the 101-150 group (ranked for the first time).

Some majors also achieved high rankings, such as architecture/built environment of Duy Tan University, in the 151-200 group (ranked for the first time). Mathematics of Ton Duc Thang University ranked 201-250, up 50 places. Other majors were all outside the top 300, including those ranked for the first time, such as agriculture - forestry, physics and astronomy, business and management, economics and econometrics of Ho Chi Minh City National University, economics and econometrics of Hanoi National University.
According to QS, this is the 14th year of publishing the World University Rankings by Subject, with 1,559 schools ranked, including 64 new names. After ranking schools based on 5 broad subject groups, QS continues to rank based on 55 narrower subjects, with music being a new field to be evaluated from this year.
According to QS, based on its specificity, each industry will have a different approach to determining the criteria and corresponding weights. Among them, the prominent criteria are academic reputation, reputation with employers and the international research network index (IRN Index) published by this organization.
QS is one of the three most prestigious, experienced and influential university ranking organizations in the world, along with the Times Higher Education (UK) and Shanghai Ranking Consultancy (China). QS began ranking universities in 2004, one year after the world first had a global university ranking published by Shanghai Jiao Tong University (later Shanghai Ranking Consultancy).
