5. HISTORY

The Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities (or the USSH) boasts a 60-year history of establishment and growth. After the 1954 Geneva Accords, the University was founded in Saigon, but its origins go back to the Hanoi University of Letters. The University’s predecessor, the French Preparatory College of Letters in Saigon as an affiliate member of the Vietnam National University (later changed into the University of Saigon), was founded in November 1955.

On March 1st 1957, the Faculty of Letters, part of the University of Saigon, was officially established. From 1976 till 1996, the Faculty of Letters matured into one of the two component members of the Ho Chi Minh City University, covering social sciences and humanities.

Pursuant to Decision No 1233/QD-BGD&DT signed by the Minister of the Ministry of Education and Training Tran Hong Quan, the University officially bore the name of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh city on March 30th 1996.
Currently, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has more than 890 faculty members and non-teaching staff. The percentage of the academic staff holding professorial titles or postgraduate degrees is 98.4 %. There are more than 22,000 students enrolled in 28 undergraduate programs, 38 postgraduate programs and over 10 joint programs in collaboration with international partners. The programs offer students access to a very diverse selection of academic options from which to choose, and enhance students’ capabilities to embrace the challenge of the country’s modernization and industrialization, translating what they learn into professional achievements.
