Hangzhou Normal University (simplified Chinese: 杭州师范大学; traditional Chinese: 杭州師範大學; pinyin: Hángzhōu Shīfàn Dàxué), or Hangzhou Teachers College, is a public university in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, China.

Having merged with Hangzhou Education College and Hangzhou Medical Junior College, HNU comprises nine campuses with a combined area of 513,590 m².

HNU has close to 12,000 full-time students, 9,000 of whom are undergraduates. Of over 1,000 teachers, over 100 have a doctorate or are Ph.D. candidates, and 283 have a master's degree. There are nearly 490 professors (researchers) and associate professors (associate researchers).

History

In 1905, the governor of Zhejiang Province founded a teaching school aimed at training teachers for high schools and primary schools in the province. In 1908, the school was named Zhejiang Official Secondary Normal School (浙江官立两级师范学堂) and was in the original address of Zhejiang Gongyuan (浙江贡院). Shen Junru was appointed as a supervisor in 1909.

In 1912, under the guidance of the Education Department of the Republic of China, the school became one of the six well-known higher education schools for teaching at that time. It issued its publications, such as Baiyang (白阳) and Zhejiang Trendy (浙江新潮). It set up clubs, such as Music Rock Club (乐石社), Lakeside Poetry Club (湖畔诗社), and Mingyuan Club (明远学社). Educationist Jing Hengyi (经亨颐) was the principal; famous masters such as Li Shutong and Lu Xun taught there; Feng Zikai, Qian Xuesen, and Pan Tianshou studied at the school.

When the Japanese invaded Hangzhou during World War II, the school was relocated to places such as Jiande and Lishui; it was moved back to Hangzhou after the war.

The school has been under direct jurisdiction of the Hangzhou Municipal Government since 1954. In 1978, the State Council approved to found of Hangzhou Normal College (杭州师范学院), which was approved by the Ministry of Education (China) to change its name to Hangzhou Normal University in March 2007.

In 2010, a proposal was jointly submitted by Sun Zhonghuan, Zhao Guangyu, Yu Jialing, Zhu Zude, and Chen Xiaoping, three municipal officials of Hangzhou. They suggested changing Hangzhou Normal University to Hangzhou University because this university had reached the level of the old University of Hangzhou. However, many provincial and municipal officials and dignitaries rejected it. This was a widespread but unsuccessful proposal in the end.
