About the faculty
The Faculty of Tourism of Danang Architecture University was established on 1 August 2018 under Decision No. 476/2018/QĐ-ĐHKTĐN; the first cohort of the Tourism and Travel Services Management programme enrolled the same year.
In 2021 the Faculty opened the Hotel Management programme to meet the tourism industry's demand for workers in Central Vietnam, the Central Highlands and across the country.
The programmes are applied, internationally oriented and student-centred: theory goes hand in hand with practice, and students build professional and soft skills and meet real workplaces from their very first year.
