Duy Tan University became Duy Tan University

This morning (November 10th), Duy Tan University held a ceremony to celebrate its 30th anniversary (November 11th, 1994 - November 11th, 2024) and to announce the Prime Minister 's decision to transform Duy Tan University into Duy Tan University.

Speaking at the event, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son emphasized that, in implementing the Party and State's policy of reforming education and training, in 1994, the Prime Minister signed a Decision to establish Duy Tan University - one of the first five private universities in the country in the new era.

Despite numerous difficulties and challenges, Duy Tan University has continuously developed and made significant contributions to human resource training for Da Nang , the Central-Central Highlands region, and the entire country.

The establishment and development of Duy Tan University has contributed to changing the public-private structure in the university system, transforming the face of higher education, creating many jobs for scientists and learning opportunities for numerous students, contributing to the reform of education and training, and providing human resources for national development over the past 30 years.

The transformation from Duy Tan University to Duy Tan University represents a choice in organizational and governance model, as well as a development model that demonstrates maturity and a need for new development from within.

I hope that this change is not just a name change, but a change that focuses on depth, on unleashing creativity, and on modern, intelligent governance. I hope the university will operate with a more scientific, advanced, and larger-scale governance system, with a higher mission, a broader and more far-sighted vision, and a focus on sustainable development.

"The shift from the organizational model of a university to the organizational model of a university needs to create new dynamics and impetus, unleashing creativity and generating new energies to drive faster and stronger university development in the future."

"The government and the Ministry of Education and Training support this development model by assisting in the procedures to transform Duy Tan University into Duy Tan University," Minister Nguyen Kim Son affirmed.

Acknowledging and appreciating the achievements of Duy Tan University over the past 30 years, the Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, Le Trung Chinh, stated: As Duy Tan University enters its 30th year, Da Nang City is focusing on implementing Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15 on the organization of urban government and piloting some specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Da Nang City.

This is one of the most important directions for the socio-economic development of the city in the coming period.

The city of Da Nang has always identified the development of human resources, especially high-quality human resources, as one of the key factors in building Da Nang into an ecological, modern, smart city of international stature with its own unique identity.

This means that human resource training, especially high-quality human resources in general and at Duy Tan University in particular, needs thorough preparation to further improve the quality of training and meet the increasingly high demands of the economy and social development.

"In particular, the city requests that Duy Tan University, and other higher education and vocational education institutions in the city, pay more attention to scientific research, producing works and initiatives with practical value; and work alongside the city in pioneering new fields, contributing to making Da Nang a livable, civilized, and modern city."

"The city of Da Nang will always stand alongside and create favorable conditions for Duy Tan University to develop strongly and make a worthy contribution to the construction and development of the city," Mr. Le Trung Chinh suggested.

Duy Tan University was established on November 11, 1994, according to Decision No. 666/QD-TTg dated November 11, 1994, of the Prime Minister. It is one of the first five private universities in the country and the first private university in Central Vietnam.

In 2015, the school was converted to a private institution according to Decision No. 1704/QD-TTg dated October 2, 2015, of the Prime Minister. In October 2024, the Government issued Decision No. 1115/QD-TTg dated October 7, 2024, transforming Duy Tan University into Duy Tan University, one of eight universities in Vietnam and also the first (and only, to date, non-public higher education institution) in Vietnam to be converted into a university.
