The institutions are the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU), the Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), and the Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh City (VNUHCM). VNU is placed between 251st and 300th, HUST 351st - 400th, and VNUHCM 401st - 500th. The rankings include only institutions in countries classified by the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE Group as “advanced emerging”, “secondary emerging”, or “frontier”. Vietnam is categorised in the “frontier” group. Its ratings use the same 13 performance indicators as the THE World University Rankings to judge institutions on their teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and international outlook.
