Founded in June 1951, Donghua University was originally named East China Institute of Textile Technology (华东纺织工学院).[4] In September 1985, the university changed its name to China Textile University (中国纺织大学) and changed it once again to Donghua University in August 1999. It has been a national key university since 1960 and was one of the first educational institutions in China authorized to confer all three levels of degree: bachelor's, master's, and doctorate.

Donghua University has established cooperative relationships with more than 60 higher education institutions and well-known enterprises around the world. International students from 83 countries have graduated from the university. The university is steadily developing joint programs such as Donghua-Carleton IMBA, Sino-German education for bachelor's degree of Light Chemical Engineering, and Sino-Japan education for bachelor's degree in Fashion Design & Engineering.

Donghua has successfully hosted international conferences such as the International Fashion Forum of the Shanghai International Fashion Culture Festival and the 83rd World Conference of Textile Institutes.

As early as 1954, DHU commenced to accept international students who were among the first group of overseas students enrolled by Chinese universities. In 2016, DHU has brought up 4774 international students from over 138 countries. Almost all of the undergraduate, postgraduate and research programs are open to international students. Also, many non-degree programs including Chinese language programs, Degree-Preparation program, advanced study programs, and a variety of short-term programs are available to international students.
