Introduction to the School of Economics

School of Economics (SOE) at Hefei University of Technology was founded in 2011. Its history can be traced back to the mid-1980s when it offered a major in industrial foreign trade. In the early 1990s, it significantly impacted the study of China's industrial economic benefits. The school began recruiting undergraduate students in Trade Economics (which was renamed Economics in 1999) in 1993. In 1996, it started offering undergraduate programs in International Economics and Trade, Finance, and other disciplines. In 1999, it was authorized to offer a master's degree in Industrial Economics. In 2006, it was authorized to offer another master's degree in Regional Economics and Quantitative Economics. In 2010, it was authorized to offer a master's degree in Applied Economics. In 2014, it was approved to offer a master's degree in Finance (MF). In 2018, it was approved to offer a master's degree in Theoretical Economics. In 2019, its major of Financial Engineering was approved as a “National First-Class Undergraduate Major Construction Site”. In 2021, its major in International Economics and Trade was approved as a “National First-Class Undergraduate Major Construction Site” as well, and the major in Economics was approved as a “Provincial First-Class Undergraduate Major Construction Site”.

The school has a high-quality faculty team. There are currently 111 faculty members, including 93 full-time teachers, among whom there are 20 professors and 40 associate professors. They mainly graduated from famous domestic and foreign universities such as Renmin University of China, University of Science and Technology of China, Nanjing University, Wuhan University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and University of Western Australia. Five people have obtained overseas doctoral degrees, and 27 people have overseas visiting experiences. Among the full-time teachers, there is 1 academic and technical leader in Anhui Province, 1 candidate for the academic and technical leader in Anhui Province, 1 expert enjoying special government allowances from Anhui Province, 2 “teaching masters” in Anhui Province, and 4 “promising teaching talents” in Anhui Province; 1 “Overseas Famous Teacher” of the Ministry of Education(MOE), 5 “Huangshan Scholars” distinguished professors (not full-time), 4 doctoral supervisors, and 57 master's supervisors.

The school has a teaching and office area of 5,000 square meters, with departments including the Department of Economics, International Economics and Trade, Financial Engineering, and Economics and Trade (Xuancheng Campus). There are five educational support centers including the International Education Center (IEC), the Experimental Teaching Center, the Master of Finance Education Center, the Academic Exchange Center, and the School-Enterprise Cooperative Education Center. The school offers three undergraduate majors in Economics, International Economics and Trade (Chinese-Foreign Cooperation in running schools), and Financial Engineering, and an Innovative Pioneer Class in International Economics and Trade (digital economy and global economic and trade governance).

In 2021, the school was approved for the Ministry of Education's New Humanities and Social Sciences Research and Reform Project and also became a pilot school for the Ministry of Education's High-Level International Talent Cultivation Project. The faculty teams of International Economics and Trade (Chinese-foreign cooperation in running schools) and Financial Engineering are “Provincial Teaching Teams”, and the Financial Engineering major has been approved as an “Anhui Higher Education Revitalization Project”. The school has 1 national-level quality video open course, 5 school-enterprise collaborative education projects of the Ministry of Education, 3 provincial-level school-enterprise cooperation practice bases, 2 provincial-level demonstrative experimental training centers, 1 textbook for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's “14th Five-Year Plan”, 2 first-class textbooks in Anhui Province, and 17 provincial first-class course construction projects.

More than 10 national and provincial-level teaching and scientific research achievement awards have been received and more than 20 academic monographs have been published.

The school attaches great importance to international exchanges and cooperation. The Chinese-Foreign cooperative educational program with Clark University was approved by the Ministry of Education and has been proven to be very fruitful. The school has also established doctoral-level collaboration with Clark University. In addition, the school has a “2+1” graduate-level joint educational program with the Australian National University and a “2+2” undergraduate joint educational program with the University of Warsaw in Poland. In recent years, the school has hosted/organized large-scale international academic conferences, such as the “China Economic Society (CES) 2018 China Annual Conference” and the “Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) 2017 International Academic Conference”, as well as the “World Manufacturing Convention 2021: Modern Metropolis and Advanced Manufacturing Forum”. The school has also carried out a series of teaching and research cooperation with more than ten universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, etc.

Over the years, with the goal of building a “high-level, international, and distinctive research-oriented school”, the School of Economics has continuously promoted talent cultivation through high-quality scientific research and made significant contributions to the economic and social development of the country and the local area.
