Formation and Development
Hai Phong University, as it stands today, is the result of merging several educational institutions in Hai Phong, with its first predecessor being Hai Phong Intermediate Teacher Training School. Established on July 22, 1959, by Decree No. 359-ND of the Minister of Education, the school aimed to train secondary teachers for the provinces of Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Kien An (now Hai Phong City), Hong Quang, and Hai Ninh (now Quang Ninh Province).
After its founding, the school focused on training and improving the qualifications of general education teachers, actively contributing to educational development in the early years of socialist construction in the North and the fight against U.S. forces, leading to the liberation and reunification of Vietnam. The teacher training system in Hai Phong evolved, offering programs from elementary and intermediate levels to associate degrees.

On April 9, 2004, Decision No. 60/2004/QD-TTg by the Prime Minister officially renamed it Hai Phong University
