Accompanying the development of Hanoi University of Civil Engineering (HUCE), the Faculty of Construction Economics and Management is one of the earliest-established faculties of the university. To meet the demand for qualified engineers and experts serving the national reconstruction and development, in 1963, the first cohort of students majoring in Construction Economics was admitted under the Faculty of Economic Engineering of Hanoi University of Science and Technology.
After five years of continuous improvement in teaching capacity, the Rector of Hanoi University of Civil Engineering decided to establish the Faculty of Construction Economic Engineering in Mao Trung village, Phuong Mao commune, Que Vo district, Ha Bac province (now Bac Ninh province), consisting of three departments: the Department of Construction Economics, the Department of Business Economics, and the Department of Planning and Organization.
This marked the establishment of the first independent Faculty of Construction Economic Engineering in Vietnam, providing formal and systematic training. Throughout the ups and downs of history, after several relocations and name changes, the growth and success of today’s HUCE have been significantly contributed to by the Faculty of Construction Economics and Management.
Since then, the Faculty has continuously developed its education and training activities at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in various majors. Thousands of graduates have been equipped with professional knowledge and skills to work effectively in the construction industry, contributing to the nation’s sustainable development.
Today, the Faculty of Construction Economics and Management is one of the largest faculties of HUCE, attracting a high number of undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students.
To align with the university’s development strategy and future orientation, the Faculty has officially issued its Mission, Vision, and Strategic Directions as follows:
“To provide high-quality human resources in Construction Economics and Management, conduct scientific research, and promote technology application and transfer, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam’s construction industry.”
“To become one of the leading institutions in Vietnam in training and research in Construction Economics and Management, recognized by organizations and enterprises for its excellence in education, research, and innovation, actively contributing to the sustainable development of the construction industry and the nation.”
To realize its mission and vision, the Faculty focuses on the following strategic directions:
