Ho Chi Minh City University of Law (HCMCUL Vietnamese: Đại Học Luật Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, French: Université de Droit d’Hô-Chi-Minh-Ville) is a university in Vietnam that offers undergraduate and postgraduate education in law and politics.
The university plays an important role as a legal research and advisory body for the Vietnamese government in legal and public administrative reform.
History
The University was established in 1996, pursuant to Decision N° 1234/GD&ĐT of the Ministry of Education and Training. It was originally merged with the Ho Chi Minh City branch of the Vietnam National University.
On October 10, 2000, the Prime Minister issued Decision N° 118/2000/QWĐ-TT, which separated the Ho Chi Minh City University of Law from the Vietnam National University.
It became the first Vietnamese legal training school to cooperate in a master's degree program with a foreign university (University of the West of England in Bristol, England ).
The current rector is Doctor Mai Hồng Quỳ (2007-2018). Her predecessor was Doctor Nguyễn Văn Luyện (2000-2007).
