Vietnam National University

Vietnam National University (2 September 2006)


The Le Thanh Tong Campus of the Vietnam National University is located at 19 Le Thanh Tong. The Le Thanh Tong Campus is in a somewhat run-down ochre-colored colonial-style building, and houses the School of Pharmaceutics.

The Vietnam National University was founded as the University of Indochina in 1906. It was the first genuine university in Indochina. It became the University of Hanoi in 1956 and was the first university of basic sciences in Vietnam.

The Vietnam National University (VNU) was created in 1993 by the amalgamation of three universities namely the University of Hanoi, Hanoi Teachers’ Training College No.1 and Hanoi Foreign Language Teachers’ Training College.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
