As VinUni’s highest governing body, the Council is responsible for representing the interests of founding donors and a diverse group of stakeholders including students, faculty and staff members, government agencies, and members of both Vietnamese and international communities. The ultimate mission of the University Council is to work with the entire university community to develop VinUniversity into the university of excellence, developing talents for the future.
The VinUniversity’s leadership team, representing the best interests of the University, includes the President, Provost, Vice-Provost, Deans and Heads of Faculty, Vice-Deans, and Heads of Operational and Administrative Units. The VinUniversity organizational structure is based on the principle of hybrid governance, in which administrative and operational support is centralized, and academic units (colleges and faculty) are decentralized, for implementation of the education and research mission of the university.
The University Academic Advisory Board (AAB) is the principal advisory body on academic (education and research) matters and assists the leadership team to more effectively carry out its mission and main objectives.
