History

In October 1945, President Hồ Chí Minh signed the decree to establish the University of Literature (''Ban Đại học Văn khoa'', or ''Trường Đại học Văn khoa'') ''-'' the precursor of the current VNU-USSH. In April 1956, the University of Hanoi (''Trường Đại học Tổng hợp Hà Nội'') was established. During this period, fundamental foundation for the disciplines of social sciences and humanities as well as the university's tradition and reputation were laid. In September 1995, the VNU University of Social Sciences and Humanities (formerly College of Social Sciences and Humanities) was established on the basis of social sciences and humanities from University of Hanoi, and became an official member of Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU) - the country's leading comprehensive and most prestigious training and research center.
