The school has continuously pioneered in opening more postgraduate training majors to meet social needs. Some postgraduate training majors such as Vietnamese Linguistics, Vietnamese Literature, Vietnamese History, International Studies have attracted many foreign students from China, Korea, Japan, Czech Republic, etc.

In 2014, the Master's program in Vietnamese Cultural History was first launched. Other programs such as Master's in Theory, History and Criticism of Film and Television, Doctorate in International Relations, Doctorate in Science and Technology Management... although they have only started enrolling students in the past few years, have also attracted the attention of students. In 2015, it is expected that two new majors will be added to the training program: Doctorate in Religious Studies and Master's in Vietnamese Studies.

With the above efforts, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities has continuously affirmed its position as the country's leading postgraduate training center in the fields of Social Sciences and Humanities.
