History

Nha Trang University was founded on August 1, 1959 as the Fisheries Faculty of Hanoi Institute of Agriculture and Forestry. Following the Decision No. 155-CP of the Prime Minister signed on August 16, 1966 the Faculty was separated and named the School of Fisheries. In 1977, the School moved from Hai Phong to Nha Trang and changed its name to the University of Marine Products. In 1980, the university’s name became University of Fisheries. The university has carried its current name "Nha Trang University" since July 25, 2006 according to Decision No. 172/2006/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister. With a significant contribution in training and research, Nha Trang University has been granted many prestigious government awards: No. 3 Labour Medal, No. 2 Labour Medal, No. 1 Labour Medal; No. 3 Independence Medal, No. 2 Independence Medal, and No. 2 Independence Medal. In July 2006, the government granted the university the Labour Hero Medal. In accordance with the national higher education reform plan, NTU had prepared to transform from a year-based training system to the credit-based training system since 1990. The credit system has gradually been adopted since 1995, enhancing training quality and services and recognizing students as the center of the training process.
