1. History of Establishment and Development of the Faculty of Political Theory

The Faculty of Political Theory is an organizational unit directly under the University of Economics – Technology for Industries, comprising two departments. The Faculty is responsible for teaching Political Theory subjects to students of all programs and majors across the University, with a specialized focus on political–ideological education, shaping revolutionary worldviews and life perspectives for the younger generation at the University of Economics – Technology for Industries.

The Faculty was established in 2011 under a Decision of the University of Economics – Technology for Industries. Its predecessor originated from the Basic Faculty of Nam Dinh Technical Secondary School, established in 1956. In 1997, the school was upgraded to the College of Economics – Technology for Industries I. During the period from 1997 to 2007, it operated under the name of the Department of Politics – Physical Education and National Defense.

On June 26, 2007, the College of Economics – Technology for Industries I issued Decision No. 226/QĐ-CĐKT-KTCNI to separate and establish the Marxism–Leninism Department under the Board of Rectors. In 2011, it was upgraded to become the Faculty of Political Theory.

The Faculty of Political Theory has always paid attention to and encouraged lecturers and students to actively participate in scientific research at all levels, especially at the institutional and student levels. Every year, the Faculty carries out institutional-level and student-level research projects that are evaluated with good results. In addition, the Faculty proactively organizes thematic seminars at the Faculty level, ensuring requirements for self-study, self-research, and continuous professional development of its teaching staff.
