Established in 2003, it is now becoming as one of the leading research powerhouse in Vietnam. The university is affiliated to the Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM).
The university conducts all its administrative, academic, and research activities in Thu Duc university village, a 77 hectare joint land endowment between Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong Province. It is home to Regional Centre of Expertise on Education for Sustainable Development, a non-profit organisation that works closely with the United Nations and other 136 RCEs to incorporate sustainable development into education.
The teaching is conducted in English. In addition to entrance exams, students also have to write an English language test or obtain TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS or equivalent English certificate as required by HCMIU and its cooperative universities.
Besides offering undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in business studies and engineering, HCMIU also offers a number of other courses related to the two fields. The IU School of Business which offers the Bachelor of Business in Business Administration has received full accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP,[1] the USA) in 2023.
