NEU is now chairing a network of more than 40 universities in Vietnam in economics and business administration. It is also a prestigious research and consultation center with its publications and consulting works to the government of Vietnam on policy making and to the business community on business development.[2]

Since its establishment, NEU has paid special attention to developing international academic cooperation. It has formed partnership relationship with over 100 institutions and organizations from 30 countries, including Australia, Belgium, Cambodia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Laos, Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The university has been involved in research projects in cooperation with large governmental organizations and international financial institutions such as the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Foundation of Vietnam Development Forum (VDF), the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), the World Bank (WB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Department for International Development (DFID - UK), and Ausaid (Australia).[3]

Many of the university's alumni have a strong track record of success and hold important positions in public and private sectors. The current President of Vietnam, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc, is an alumni.[4]

History

In 1956, the university was established by the government decree, originally named Central School of Economics and Finance.[5]

In 1958, the school changed its name to University of Economics and Finance, under the supervision of Ministry of Education.[5]

In 1962, Prime Minister Phạm Văn Đồng signed a decree to separate the Faculty of International Relations from the University of Economics and Finance and establish a new university called University of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, under the supervision of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This later led to the foundation of two reputable institutions, Foreign Trade University, and Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam.[6]

In 1965, the name was changed to University of Economic Planning.[5]

In 1985, it was renamed National Economics University. It has kept this name since then.[5]

For more than 60 years, the university has received numerous prestigious awards from the Vietnamese and Lao governments.[5] More than 100,000 Bachelor's students, 10,000 Master's students, and 1,400 PhD students graduated from the university.[7]
