Recently, netizens left a message on the People's Daily message board, believing that Zhejiang Province has only Zhejiang University , the only one is the dominant one, and there is a gap in the powerful universities in Zhejiang. Except for Zhejiang University, other universities in the province have little influence in China. It is recommended that provincial universities Zhejiang Business University and Zhejiang University of Technology be merged to establish a new Hangzhou University, thereby enhancing the influence of Zhejiang universities. The official replied that there is no merger plan for the two universities.

So are these two universities suitable for combination?

Zhejiang University of Technology needs no more to say here. It is the most promising university among all dual non- colleges in Zhejiang Province. Its comprehensive strength ranks second in Zhejiang Province. Its ace disciplines include chemical engineering and technology , mechanical engineering, business management . In the fourth round of discipline evaluation of national , a total of 1 discipline entered Class A and 9 disciplines entered Class B.

Zhejiang University of Technology and Commerce is located in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is a provincial key university jointly built by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Commerce and Zhejiang Province. The predecessor of Zhejiang Province can be traced back to the Hangzhou Secondary Business School founded in 1911. In 1980, it developed into Hangzhou Business School , became a direct university of the Ministry of Commerce, became a provincial university in 1998, and was merged into Hangzhou Business School in 1999, and was merged into Hangzhou Business School in 1999. In 2001, Zhejiang Provincial Political and Legal Management Cadre College was merged into Zhejiang Business University, and in 2004, it was officially renamed Zhejiang Business University, and in 2020, it received counterpart assistance from Renmin University of China . It can be said that Zhejiang University of Technology is one of the earliest commercial vocational schools founded in China.

In terms of subject strength, this university has 7 first-level discipline doctoral degree authorization points, 16 first-level discipline master's degree authorization points, and 24 postdoctoral research mobile stations. Its ace disciplines include statistics, applied economics, and business administration. In the fourth round of discipline assessment in the country, it has entered Class A and 6 disciplines have entered Class B.

Both universities have their own strong disciplines. It can be said that they have developed well and both have the potential to become strong schools in China. Overall, the two universities are not easy to merge. Once merged, it may not be guaranteed to develop their own distinctive disciplines. After all, not all universities merge as successfully as Zhejiang University to achieve multidisciplinary progress. Moreover, the merger of the two will largely put certain pressure on Zhejiang students to the next level, reducing the number of high-quality universities in Zhejiang. Do you think the two universities are suitable for merging?
