such as Ha Bac or Vinh Phu Provinces. At the end of 1983, we moved back to Hanoi and in1991, the whole university finally consolidated at the address of 55 Giai Phong Road, Dong
Tam Ward, Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi. Along with these events, our name was altered
several times due to the need of realistic situations. In this year of 2021, the university
proudly adopted the official name of Hanoi University of Civil Engineering (abbreviated asHUCE), affirming the bond with our root city – Hanoi Capital.
The year 2021 also marks our celebration of 55 years of establishment and development,
and 65 years of training experience. Throughout this time, Hanoi - National University ofCivil Engineering has become a leading center for training, scientific research, technology
transfer and supply high-quality human resources for the country in the field of engineering.
With this change, we unify and synchronize our brand identity with local and international
partners, and will strive forward to our recognition in the world rankings. Hanoi Universityof Civil Engineering aims to become one of the leading universities in engineering andtechnology by 2030, reaching regional and international levels.
