Huế University is a public, research-oriented university system located in Huế, the former imperial capital of Vietnam. In Vietnam, universities are classified into two classes: university system (two types are national university and regional university) and university (or college).[1]
During the Vietnam War, Huế University became a focal point of fighting between US Marines and communist forces during the Tet Offensive. News coverage depicted scenes of urban warfare as Marines fought to gain control of two city blocks around the university and the provincial headquarters. The university and surrounding buildings were damaged as Marines blasted holes through homes and university structures, encountering resistance from communist forces manning machine guns.[2]
QS World University Rankings ranked Huế University in the 451-500 band of top universities in Asia and 6th in Vietnam for 2019.[3] The QS World University Rankings ranked the university 348th in Asia in 2025.[4]
