To make Dai Nam University a historical university today, since June 2005, Dr. Le Dac Son (then General Director of VPBank) and 12 scientists started to build a project to establish it under the auspices of the Vietnam Construction Association.
After 2 years of preparing the conditions to be granted an operating license by the Prime Minister, the founders of Dai Nam University had to make efforts to complete the following tasks:
• One is to build complete scientific arguments on the necessity of establishing Dai Nam University according to the Government's plan in the national university network and complete economic and technical arguments on the professions that the school intends to train.
• Second, there must be a full set of permanent lecturers of the training majors with the titles, academic titles, and degrees of the lecturers according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.
• Third is to prove financial capacity, specifically to mobilize enough 30 billion VND in the bank account contributed by the founders to build the school. This is the minimum charter capital prescribed by the state when opening a new university at that time. According to current regulations, the minimum charter capital prescribed by the Government is 1,000 billion VND.
• Fourth, regarding infrastructure, it is necessary to fully demonstrate the procedures for granting 10.5 hectares of land in the planning from the local government (at that time the People's Committee of Ha Tay province) to build the Dai Nam University complex in the future.
In June 2017, the school's founding council submitted a complete application for a license to the Ministry of Education and Training and the Government Office. After nearly 6 months of reviewing and evaluating the application, the management agencies submitted it to the Prime Minister for permission to establish.
On November 14, 2007, after nearly two and a half years of building conditions to ensure training quality according to regulations, Dai Nam University was granted the Decision to establish by the Prime Minister and the Decision to recognize by the Ministry of Education and Training. Dr. Le Dac Son officially became the first Chairman of the Board of Directors of the school.
The first Board of Directors of Dai Nam University consisted of 6 members, specifically assigned as follows:
1 - Mr. Le Dac Son - Chairman
2 - Mr. Do Quan - Vice Chairman
3 - Mr. Le Dinh Dao - Vice Chairman
4 - Mr. Doan Hong Nam - Member
5 - Mr. Le Dac Lam - Member
