Advancing from 4 Stars in 2021 to 4 Stars Plus in 2026, Dong Nai Technology University (DNTU) continues to mark a step forward in its journey of elevating higher education quality, aiming to deliver tangible value for learners, businesses, and the community.

UPM (University Performance Metrics) is a benchmarking rating system for universities in Vietnam and the region. It evaluates higher education quality across 8 comprehensive criteria groups: strategic planning, teaching and learning, academic staff, facilities, research, innovation, internationalization, and community service. Participating institutions undergo multiple rounds of independent, transparent, and benchmarked evaluations under strict international standards.

The UPM University Rating System has officially announced its 2026 ranking results, recognizing Dong Nai Technology University with a 4 Stars Plus rating.

Dong Nai Technology University (DNTU) receives the 4 Stars Plus certification under the UPM (University Performance Metrics) 2026 rating system for Vietnamese and regional universities.

More Than Just a Rating Result

UPM measures higher education institutions across 8 key areas with 54 criteria: Strategic Orientation, Education, Research, Innovation, University Ecosystem, Digital Transformation, Internationalization, and Community Service.

Achieving 4 Stars Plus recognizes DNTU's ongoing efforts to enhance its educational quality, university governance, and academic ecosystem step-by-step.

However, the true value of a rating lies not in the numbers themselves, but in the meaningful changes those numbers reflect.

Throughout its growth, DNTU has maintained that educational quality must be reflected through student experience and maturity, alignment with enterprise needs, and contributions to society.

Translating Quality into Learner Value

With an application-oriented focus, DNTU emphasizes practical learning environments, enhancing career exposure, and connecting students directly with businesses.

A collaborative network exceeding 760 enterprise partners serves as a crucial foundation, offering students hands-on access to professional working environments and helping them build career competencies during their studies.

4 Stars Plus – A Milestone on an Ongoing Journey

Moving from 4 Stars in 2021 to 4 Stars Plus in 2026 marks significant progress, yet DNTU views this as a milestone rather than a final destination.

Each evaluation provides a baseline to reflect, improve, and set higher benchmarks for the institution.

For the 2025–2030 development phase, DNTU remains committed to comprehensive, substantive, and sustainable growth—placing learners at the center, integrating education with industry, promoting innovation and internationalization, and building a high-value university ecosystem.

The 4 Stars Plus rating stands as a testament to DNTU's ongoing work: creating more value for learners, building greater trust with enterprises, and contributing more to the community.

Moving forward, DNTU will continue to anchor itself on quality as the foundation, value as the goal, and learners as the center.
