The history of Hohai University can be traced back to Hohai Civil Engineering School, which was established by ZhangJian, a famous industrialist and educator in China’s modern history, and it was the first institution focusing on research and education of water conservancy in China. Then, the University under the East China Technical University of Water Resources was founded in 1952 as a result of the merger of water related disciplines of Nanjing University, Tongji University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Zhejiang University. The university was renamed Hohai University in 1985, Mr. Deng Xiaoping inscribed the name of the University.

Nowadays, Hohai University is a comprehensive university with research and study of water conservancy as its main task, education of engineering subjects as its first priority, and coordinated development of many other disciplines covering engineering, science, economics, management, liberal arts, and law.

Hohai University’s mission is to make a significant contribution towards a sustainable society of the twenty-first century by conducting groundbreaking scientific and technological research concerning water conservancy which is acknowledged as world-class academic achievement, by providing various stages of courses and by helping to convert knowledge into technological innovations and activities with both economic and social values.
