The Faculty originated from the Computer Science Division established in 1986 within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology. In 1995 it became a separated Faculty and was renamed Faculty of Information Technology (IT) in response to the growing demand for human resources in the field that was seen to play a crucial role in the development of Vietnam towards the 21st century.

The Faculty is organised into the following five divisions to be in charge of specialised subjects of the corresponding disciplines of Computer Science and Engineering:

• Application Software
