The university has a teaching staff of 350 lecturers (among more than 500 employees) and a student population of 13,000. Duy Tan University has always been multi-faceted with a variety of training tracks at different academic levels.

Founding of DTU

On August 15, 1992, Mr. Lê Công Cơ, Mr. Le Phuoc Thuy and Ms. Nguyen Thi Loc met to form a committee, campaigning for the establishment of the Private University of the Central (of Vietnam).

A year later, this campaigning committee had eventually met the requirements of the Ministry of Education and Training and, on September 15, 1993, the Minister of Education and Training signed a formal decision, recognizing the Council of University Founders for the Private University of the Central (of Vietnam).

On October 13, 1994, the Ministry of Education and Training issued the Formal Document No. 129/TCCB for the establishment of the (people-founded) Duy Tan University. And on November 11, 1994, the prime minister, Mr. Vo Van Kiet, signed the Decision No. 666/TTg to formally recognize the establishment of Duy Tan University. The name was changed to Duy Tan (which means "Innovation") upon the request of Ms. Nguyen Thi Loc.

(Incidentally, Duy Tan is also the name of a Vietnamese Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, one of only two monarchs of that royal house who is still universally revered by the Vietnamese people. Emperor Duy Tan was known for his anti-colonialist activities on behalf of Vietnamese independence. He was exiled by the French authorities to Reunion Island and he died in a plane crash in 1945 while on his way back to Vietnam.)
