Huế University (Vietnamese: Đại học Huế) is a public, research-oriented university system located in Huế, the former imperial capital of Vietnam; it is one of the important regional universities of Vietnam. In Vietnam, universities are classified into two classes: university system (two types are national university and regional university) and university (or college).[1]
History
Hue University, formerly known as The University of Huế, was initially established in March 1957.
During the Vietnam War, Huế University became a focal point of intense fighting between US Marines and communist forces during the Tet Offensive. News coverage depicted scenes of urban warfare as Marines fought to gain control of two city blocks around the university and the provincial headquarters. The university and surrounding buildings were heavily damaged as Marines blasted holes through homes and university structures, encountering resistance from communist forces manning machine guns.[2]
After the reunification of the country in 1975, independent universities were established in Hue on the basis of the existing faculties of The University of Hue. According to the Government Decree No. 30/ND-CP dated 4 April 1994, Hue University has been re-established by reorganizing all Hue-based universities. Hue University is responsible for training students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, conducting research and applying science and technology in a multitude of disciplines to serve the construction and development of the country in general and Central Vietnam and Western Highlands in particular.
