In 1959, the name was changed to Xi'an Metallurgical Institute. In 1963, the name was changed to Xi'an Institute of Metallurgy and Architecture. In November 1981, approved by the State Council, the university became one of the first units in China to award doctoral and master's degrees. On March 8, 1994, the name was changed for the third time to Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology with the approval of the Ministry of Education.

Xi'an International University is a private college in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.

The 1952 reorganisation of Chinese higher education was a national policy under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which came into power in 1949, to adopt Soviet-styled higher education, which focused more on engineering education and technical training, in mainland China and to remove American influences among Chinese scholars. While eliminating private education, especially missionary higher education, the policy led to the state control over the higher education sector and the loss of faculty governance tradition since the 1920s. This served the Communist agenda to break up the prestigious universities established under the Republic of China, to weaken the historical ties between the university and the faculty, and to establish the political and organisational authority of the new Communist government over the higher education system. The reorganisation involved most of the higher education institutions in mainland China and influenced the basic structure of Chinese higher education today.
