Regarding the University’s Renaming
On December 26, 2025, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 2809/QĐ-TTg, officially renaming Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education to Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Engineering (HCM-UTE). The new name reflects the university’s multidisciplinary development orientation, its strengths in technology and engineering, and its current stature.
Before 2007, the university was a leading institution in technical teacher education. Since 2007, in response to changes in the national academic program classification system, the university has actively expanded its focus on technology, engineering, and related fields. The renaming aligns with the national higher education network development plan for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision to 2050, meeting workforce demands in the era of digital transformation while affirming its role as a key national university in technology and engineering.
