HUST is well known in Vietnam for its selective students. For instance, in 2005 national university entrant exam, more than half of perfect-score students came to HUST.
To further promote scientific research and training activities besides technology transfer to develop the university as a research focused university, since May 2010 the university’s name in English had been changed to Hanoi University of Science and Technology (abbreviated HUST). However, the university’s names in Vietnamese and French remain the same as "Đại học Bách khoa Hà Nội" and "Institut Polytechnique de Hanoi" respectively.

Famous quotes containing the words facts and/or figures:
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
