Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST; Vietnamese: Đại học Bách khoa Hà Nội, "Hanoi University of Technology (HUT)"), founded 1956, is the first and largest technical university in Vietnam.
After the communists took control of Hanoi in 1954 after the victory at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the Soviet Union helped North Vietnam to build a new technical university as a frame for university education in Vietnam. The construction took about two years from the grounds of an old campus of Indochina University during the French colonial period. The building was the largest one at that time in Hanoi.
The university is the fifth oldest in Vietnam, after Indochina Medical College (1902), University of Indochina(1904), École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine (1925) and Hanoi University of Education (1951). It is the parent of many spin-off technical universities in Vietnam, including Hanoi University of Civil Engineering, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Vietnam University of Water Resource, etc. After the unification of Vietnam, many of its professors went to Ho Chi Minh City to rebuild Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology.
