[edit] History After the communists took control of Hanoi in 1954 after the victory at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the Soviet Union decided to help North Vietnam to build up a new technical university as a frame for university education in Vietnam. The construction took about two years from the ground of an old campus of Indochina University during the French colonial period. The building was the largest one at that time in Hanoi. The university is the fifth oldest universities in Vietnam, after Indochina Medical College (1902), University of Indochina(1904), École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de L'Indochine (1925) and Hanoi University of Education (1951). It is the parent of many spin-off technical universities in Vietnam, including Hanoi University of Civil Engineering, Hanoi University of Mine, Vietnam University of Water Resource, etc. After the unification of Vietnam, many of its professors went to Ho Chi Minh City to rebuild Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology. Hanoi University of Technology (abbreviated HUT) is a multidisciplinary technical university. It always ranks first in technology training universities in Vietnam. Thousands of engineers have graduated from HUT and are now serving in key industrial and scientific areas in Vietnam. Many of them hold important positions in the government. [edit] Facts and Figures In 2007, the HUT staff counts 1950 people. Amongst them, 1192 in teaching staff, 394 in teaching-assistant and scientific research staff, 200 professors and asso-professors, 400 PhD and DSc. Currently, the number of student is about 40,000 making it the largest technical university in Vietnam. Despite of the large pool of students, the passmark (in the national university entrant exam) of the university is among the highest in Vietnam. HUT is well known in Vietnam for its selective students. Such as, in 2005 national university entrant exam, more than half of perfect-score students come to HUT. [edit] Campus HUT has one of the largest and most treed campus in Vietnam, just in the south center of Hanoi, looks out onto the Park of Reunification. HUT's campus area is about 20 tens thousand m² with 200 amphitheatres, teaching rooms, halls and conference chambers. It also owns about 200 laboratories among which 8 national key laboratories and 20 practical workshops. HUT has a large of complex for physical education and sport activities including a standard stadium, an Olympic size swimming pool, tennis courts, and international standard sporting event hall (where the South Est Asia Student Sports Festival is organized in 2006).
