Directly under the Ministry of Education, it is a key university in the national "211 Project" and "Project 985".

In 1978, it was listed as a national key university and in 1998, it was adjusted to be a university directly under the Ministry of Education. In 2000, during the adjustment of the layout and structure of higher education institutions nationwide, Hunan University and Hunan University of Finance and Economics merged to form the new Hunan University.
