2019-06-14

Hunan University of Technology and Business announced that the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China had previously written to the People's Government of Hunan Province, agreeing to change the Hunan University of Commerce (HNUC) to Hunan University of Technology and Business. At this point, the number of general institutes of higher education named after "university" in Hunan Province has increased to 13.

The school-running history of Hunan University of Technology and Business can be traced back to 1949. It is a provincial full-time general institute of higher education covering economy, management, technology, science, law, culture, art and other disciplines, and it is also one of the first-batch universities enrolling the undergraduates. The university has 1,284 faculty members, including 911 full-time teachers and 151 teachers with high professional titles. The university has trained more than 110,000 excellent technology & business and finance & economics talents for the country, which is known as "the Base of Cultivating the Economic Hunan Army and the Cradle of Cultivating Professional Entrepreneurs".

Previously, in addition to Central South University and Hunan University, there were 6 non-comprehensive universities out of 10 provincial universities in the general institutes of higher education of the whole province, with agriculture, forestry, medicine, normal, science and technology as the main disciplines. The successful rename of Hunan University of Technology and Business made up for the lack of technology & business and finance & economics universities in Hunan, optimized the layout of higher education of the whole province, added new impetus for high-quality development of higher education in Hunan Province, and provided better choices for the majority of examinees and parents.
