Haiphong University (Vietnamese: Trường Đại học Hải Phòng) is a public university established on 22 July 1959 in Haiphong. In 2000, this university was merged with some other higher institutions in Haiphong to become Haiphong University of Education. On 9 April 2004, the Prime Minister of Vietnam signed edict 60/2004/QĐ-TTg, to rename this university Haiphong University.
Hai Phong University, as it stands today, is the result of merging several educational institutions in Hai Phong, with its first predecessor being Hai Phong Intermediate Teacher Training School. Established on July 22, 1959, by Decree No. 359-ND of the Minister of Education, the school aimed to train secondary teachers for the provinces of Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Kien An (now Hai Phong City), Hong Quang, and Hai Ninh (now Quang Ninh Province).
After its founding, the school focused on training and improving the qualifications of general education teachers, actively contributing to educational development in the early years of socialist construction in the North and the fight against U.S. forces, leading to the liberation and reunification of Vietnam. The teacher training system in Hai Phong evolved, offering programs from elementary and intermediate levels to associate degrees.
In 2000, the Prime Minister decided to establish Hai Phong Pedagogical University by merging Hai Phong College of Education, Hai Phong Continuing Education University, Hai Phong Education Management and Teacher Training School, and Hai Phong Foreign Language Center. On April 9, 2004, Decision No. 60/2004/QD-TTg by the Prime Minister officially renamed it Hai Phong University
As of October 2017, the university had 462 lecturers, including 5 associate professors, 68 PhDs, 321 master's degree holders, and 70 lecturers with bachelor's degrees.
Hai Phong University has three campuses, with the main campus located in Kien An District, and two additional campuses in Ngo Quyen District.
The university spans over 28.76 hectares and includes 263 classrooms, 35 laboratories, a sports complex, a dormitory accommodating over 1,500 students, and a healthcare center.
