The VNU Journal of Science was established in 1985 for the publication of national and international research papers in all fields of natural sciences and technology, social sciences and humanities. Since then, the journal has grown in quality, size and scope and now comprises a dozen of serials spanning academic research. In 2002, with the rapid expansion of the field of Foreign Languages and International Studies, the VNU Journal of Science was delighted to announce the launch of the VNU Journal of Science: Foreign Studies.

Since 2017, as a natural development from its predecessor VNU Journal of Science: Foreign Studies, the VNU Journal of Foreign Studies continues to be an official, independent publication of the University of Languages and International Studies (ULIS) under Vietnam National University (VNU).

The VNU Journal of Foreign Studies publishes blind peer-reviewed research papers and discussions concerning:

• Linguistics
• Foreign language education
• International studies
• Related social sciences and humanities

Bimonthly in 4 English issues (in February, June, August, December) and 2 Vietnamese issues (in April, October) since 2019 in both print and electronic forms, the journal provides maximum exposure for published articles, making research available to all to read and share.
