Hanoi University of Science and Technology has been ranked in the TOP 400 and TOP 500 in the world for four subjects, with the improvement across engineering & technology and natural sciences fields. In particular, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering & Manufacturing, and Computer Science & Information Systems remarkably moved up 50-100 places, continued to rank 1st nationally, while Mathematics entered the table for the first time.

QS World University Rankings by Subject 2020 was released on March 4^th, 2020.

The performance indicators of these rankings concentrate on four aspects: academic reputation, employer reputation, citation per paper and H-Index (the measure index for productivity and impact of the published work). In both engineering & technology and natural sciences, academic reputations are the most important factor (taking up 40%), indicating the importance of academic opinions on universities in their fields of expertise. This year, 22 million papers with 200 million citations were analysed to produce the rankings.

Accordingly, all HUST’s previously ranked subjects in engineering & technology witness a great improvement, climbing 50-100 places and remained Vietnam TOP 1, while mathematics, the only representative under natural sciences, is the first-time TOP 500, staying at TOP 2 nationally, confirming the importance of Mathematics in the leading university in science and technology:
