What criteria are university rankings based on?

This is the second year that VNUR has published the ranking of Vietnamese universities. In this version, the set of standards and criteria used for ranking has some changes and adjustments to increase accuracy and reliability. In 2024, this ranking is based on 6 standards and 18 selected criteria, comprehensively reflecting the basic missions of universities such as: training, scientific research and community service.

Of which, 6 standards include: recognized quality (30%), teaching (25%), publication of scientific articles (20%), scientific and technological tasks and inventions (10%), quality of learners (10%) and facilities (5%).

The 2024 Vietnam University Rankings reviewed all 237 Vietnamese higher education institutions through processing big data including: 3 public reports; enrollment projects; ranking data of global rankings such as QS, THE, ARWU, accreditation of the Ministry of Education and Training, rankings of QS Stars and UPM, data of Web of Science (WOS) and SCOPUS in the 5-year period (2019-2023); data on science and technology activities and inventions of the Ministry of Science and Technology; data on prestigious scientific journals of the State Council of Professors... Of which, 193 schools have sufficient data to conduct the ranking.

The team that made the Vietnam University Rankings includes Professor Nguyen Loc - former researcher of the Vietnam Institute of Educational Sciences, along with many other experts and collaborators.
