Hannan University, as part of its overall vision for the future, has been implementing its plans for comprehensive campus improvement for a number of years, and will continue to do so in the future. Though the university is conveniently located, there have long been limitations of space on the campus. Founded in 1965 on the principle of fostering students with a wide perspective of the world and a deep outlook on life, Hannan University's mission is to train modern economic professionals with a global outlook who can contribute to the development of a new economic society and the welfare of mankind. The university was established with the Faculty of Commerce and in 1972, it added the Department of Economics, and in 1986 the Department of Information Management.
