Student life

A large public university, a friendly international community, and a capital city on your doorstep.

Your campus

HaUI's main campus at 298 Cau Dien Street covers lecture halls, practice facilities, laboratories, dormitories and student service areas. The whole university spans nearly 50 hectares and serves more than 32,000 students across three campuses. Dormitories offer about 3,000 places, and students can join one of 58 clubs and teams.

There is a canteen on campus, and the library offers digital resources as well as reading rooms.

Getting around Hanoi

The main campus sits beside a station on the Nhổn – Hanoi Railway Station metro line.

The metro links the western districts with the city center, so classes, the Old Quarter and the railway station are connected without a taxi.

An international community

Students come from the Philippines, Mozambique, China, Laos, Morocco, Pakistan, Yemen, Kenya and Egypt, among other countries. Festivals and welcome days bring everyone together.
