VNUHCM got into the top 401-500 and its knowledge transfer and international outlook scores are quite high with 42.8 and 40.6.

This year, THE has expanded its rankings on 533 schools in 47 nations including universities in emerging economies. The Times Higher Education Emerging Economies University Rankings 2019 includes only institutions in countries classified by the FTSE as "advanced emerging”, "secondary emerging” or "frontier”. Vietnam ranked as frontier nations.

VNUHCM has over 60.000 full-time students with an academic team of more than 300 professors and associate professors and above 1,200 doctors.
