Faculty of Economics

The Faculty of Economics was founded in 1982 to train staff in the field of fishery economics. The Faculty is now training approximately 3,000 students ranging from associate degrees to master’s degree programs. The Faculty now has 4 associate professors, 16 doctors and, 27 masters, in which there are 9 lecturers currently pursuing Ph.D and PD program overseas. The majority of our staff is trained in developed countries such as Norway, France, Poland, Denmark, Japan, and Australia. The Faculty has five departments:  Economic Management, Business Administration, Trade, Marketing, and Economics 

The Faculty of Economics is strong in international training cooperation. Two prominent international cooperation programs are follows. The first is the international training program of Master of Science in Fisheries and Aquaculture Management and Economics since 2010, which is offered by the Norwegian College of Fishery Science, Faculty of Bioscience, Fisheries and Economics, University of Tromsø, in cooperation with Nha Trang University, Vietnam, which is sponsored by The Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Higher Education (SIU). The second is, with the sponsorship of the AUF and, since 2013, partnerships with universities in France (University of Nantes, Perpignan, New Caledonia and, Toulon-Var), the Faculty has established a French Vietnamese bilingual undergraduate program in Business Administration, opening more opportunities for graduate study for students.  

Currently, the Faculty is offering 3 Master’s and 5 Bachelor degree programs. Since 2020, we will be recruiting PhD students in Business Administration and Marine Resource Economics (with the emphasis on Fishery Economics), the two strongest disciplines of the Faculty.
