As a multisector corporation, Vingroup focuses on three main areas: Technology; Industrials; and Property Services. VinUni is proud to be a part of the Vingroup ecosystem, giving its students opportunities to connect with several high quality research institutes (such as, and VinBigData), pioneering industrial enterprises (such as VinFast), and leading Vietnamese companies (such as Vinpearl, Vinmec, and Vinhomes).

In March 2025, VinUni became the youngest university in Vietnam to achieve institutional accreditation from the Foundation for International Business Administration Accreditation (FIBAA) following international standards, right after its founding cohort of students graduated and within five years of its inception.
