This study describes the policies and practices on civic, global citizenship, and multicultural education of a national university in Vietnam. Data collected through focus-group discussions and interviews from selected officials and faculty members of the university were analyzed, categorized, and compared with the reviewed studies on CE, GCE, and MCE. Results of the study showed that the university`s policies and programs complement the goals of CE, GCE and ME, and are invariably reflected in the university`s curriculum and admission policies, some of which are explicitly promotive of mutual understanding, respect for differences and cultivation of civic participation in its curriculum and pedagogical practice.
