National University of Civil Engineering, Hanoi, Vietnam – NUCE 
National University of Civil Engineering (NUCE) was established in 1966 from the former biggest Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Hanoi University of Technology. Founded in the war condition, the University had to change its campus location many times, and as a result became scattered. 

In 1980 the University officially moved back to Hanoi but still located separately in 5 campuses. In 1991 the University campuses were gathered at one official location in No.55 Giai Phong Road, Hai Ba Trung District - a Southern district of Hanoi. NUCE is presently a complex of high rise buildings with modern facilities, adequately meeting the increasingly high demand of education in the field of civil engineering in Vietnam.

Though experiencing many difficulties during the past 30 years of building and development, NUCE is proud to be the most comprehensive and highly qualified education institution in the field of capital construction and civil engineering at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Apart from education, the University is also a center for scientific research and technological transfer and application of achievements in the field of civil engineering. 

In the context of Industrialization and Modernization process of Vietnam and under Vietnamese Government Resolution on Education and Training, NUCE is taking all its efforts aiming at educating active and creative human resources being capable of solving practical problems, contributing to the 
development of the country of Vietnam. 

On 2nd November 2005, Vietnamese Government has issued Resolution No. 14/2005/NQ-CP on fundamental and comprehensive renovation of education in university level in Vietnam in 2006 – 2020 phase. Implementing the direction of the Government, Ministry of Education and Training has developed and issued “Project on Renovation of University Education in Vietnam, Period 2006 – 2010”.

Industrialization – Modernization process of Vietnam.

The objective of NUCE from now to 2020 is to become the leading university in education and research in the field of civil engineering and a key university in Vietnam, step by step integrate in the regional and global university system.
