Nha Trang University was founded on August 01, 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.
University of Nha Trang sits on acres of land
overlooking Vietnam's most beautiful bay. The Campus
rests on a beach-front real estate and is one of two
public universities in Khanh Hoa Province. With more
than half a century of history, Nha Trang University has
become a prestigious multi-disciplinary and multi-level
institution with a strong foundation of fisheries and
aquaculture. It has been and continues to be a leading
university in the field of fisheries and aquaculture
science at the national level, playing a significant
role both in driving the development of marine economy
in Vietnam and generating the necessary human resources
that can accommodate the inevitable integration process
of the nation.
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. Nha Trang University was among the first 20
universities of Vietnam that were assessed and
accredited in 2009 by The National Council for Higher
Education Accreditation and Quality Assurance. In 2018,
Nha Trang University successfully got higher education
accreditation for the second time. Besides, the first
two training programs: Ship Engineering and Seafood
Processing Technology were accredited in 2019.
