History

The initial embodiment of Ton Duc Thang University was Ton Duc Thang Private University of Technology, founded by decision 787/TTg-QĐ on 24/09/1997 by the Prime Minister of Vietnam. With the rapid growth of the university, and to have a legal status which fits with its nature (i.e. that it is a university under the union structure and not completely private), the Prime Minister released decision 18/2003/TTg-QĐ changing its name to Ton Duc Thang Semi-Public University, under the management of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City.

On 11/6/2008, Mr. Tan Dung Nguyen, the Prime Minister of Vietnam, signed decision 747/QĐ-TTg changing the name of Ton Duc Thang Semi-Public University under the management of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to Ton Duc Thang University under the management of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour.[3]
