FPT University improves its ranking in global sustainability rankings.

FPT University has moved up to the 601-800 ranking in the global university rankings for sustainable development - THE Impact Rankings, after a year in the 801-1000 group.

The rankings are published by the prestigious Times Higher Education ( THE) magazine. This year, FPT University participated in the assessment across five goals: SDG 4 - Quality Education; SDG 8 - Sustainable Economic Growth and Employment; SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG 16 - Peace , Equity and Strong Institutions; and SDG 17 - Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Goals.

Specifically, SGD 4 - Quality Education was highly rated, ranking 201-300 out of 1,304 universities globally and second in Vietnam, only after Hanoi National University. This target was established to assess how a university's development of quality education contributes to sustainable societal development.

In the SGD 4 evaluation categories, FPT University achieved near-maximum scores (98.5/100 points) in the "lifelong learning for learners" category. The university's curriculum focuses on equipping students with self-learning abilities and developing proactive learning skills, enabling them to adapt well to diverse learning environments with vast and rapidly changing knowledge.

In addition, the university has a policy of providing free Coursera accounts to alumni, aiming to encourage lifelong learning and contribute to enhancing the research capabilities of the community. The university also scored approximately 80/100 in the "first generation university" category, with policies that encourage and expand access to education for first-generation university students.

FPT University's "SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities" goal also ranked 101st out of 200, placing it at the top among Vietnamese universities participating in the ranking. This goal has been established and maintained by the university since 2022 with the desire to preserve and promote traditional values, in harmony with the overall goal of sustainable development.

Furthermore, "SDG 17 - Collaboration for SDG Goals" is a mandatory goal for 100% of participating universities in the ranking, and it has the highest assessment of educational quality. FPT University is ranked in the 401-600 group in this goal.

Most of the universities participating in this year's THE Impact Rankings have a long history of operation. However, the ranking also includes younger institutions located in countries that are dynamic in social development and committed to investing in education.

"This reflects a new trend in many education systems around the world, focusing on developing training according to the sustainable standards of the United Nations, in line with the general development trends of global politics, economics, and society," a representative from the school stated.

Besides FPT University, other Vietnamese educational representatives in the ranking include: Vietnam National University, Hanoi; Hanoi University of Science and Technology; University of Economics; Duy Tan University; Ton Duc Thang University; Phenikaa University; and Ho Chi Minh City Open University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics.
