History

The former Ton Duc Thang University (Ton Duc Thang University: TDTU) is currently known as Ton Duc Thang Private University of Technology, established under the Prime Minister's Decision 787/ TTg-QĐ dated on September 24, 1997. The university was founded and is governed by the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Confederation through the Board of Directors chaired by the incumbent Chairman.

With the rapid development in all aspects of life, in order for TDTU to have  legal entities being suitable to its real nature, (a public university with non-profit and absolutely without private elements), the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 18/2003/TTg-QĐ dated on January 28, 2003 to transform TDTU's legal entities and change its name to become Ton Duc Thang Semi-Public University directly under Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee.

With the fast growth, and in order to meet  new needs, on June 11, 2008, which means approximately five and a half years after the semi-public entity, the Prime Minister once again issued Decision No. 747/TTg-QĐ changing Ton Duc Thang Semi-public University into Ton Duc Thang University governed by the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor.
