Founded in 1952, Beihang University is the first higher education institution in aeronautics and astronautics established after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the university has consistently dedicated itself to cultivating outstanding talent and developing groundbreaking technologies for the country. As one of China's first 16 key universities, Beihang has been included in the national initiatives such as the "211 Project," the "985 Project," and the "Double First-Class" initiative. With a global vision and a profound sense of historical mission, the university is committed to pioneering scientific and technological innovation. Over the years, Beihang has evolved into a top-tier, globally recognized comprehensive research university, striving to build a world-class university with Chinese characteristics.

Since its inception, Beihang has nurtured generations of academic elites, professional experts, and leaders in national governance, making outstanding contributions to national technological progress. It has actively facilitated global knowledge exchange and collaboration, exerting a profound influence on the aerospace endeavors of humanity. The university offers high-quality educational programs spanning ten major disciplines, including engineering, science, management, liberal arts, law, economics, philosophy, education, medicine, and interdisciplinary studies. Currently, Beihang has over 44,000 students and more than 6,200 faculty and staff, including 31 members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as well as 18 overseas academicians working on campus. These achievements are underpinned by the core values of "inclusion, innovation, and collaboration" that define the university's identity.

Beihang is a university that embraces diversity, with inclusion as a core value. It originated from the merger of the aviation departments of the country's best universities, bringing together 27 professors and 21 associate professors from home and abroad. Such diverse background serves as the foundation of our inclusive culture and pioneering endeavors. To date, Beihang boasts the Xueyuan Road Campus and Shahe Campus in Beijing, as well as the Hangzhou International Campus in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, where we offer diverse educational experiences, acting as a bridge connecting Beihang with the world and showcasing our global vision. Currently, over 2,000 international students from more than 140 countries are pursuing degrees at Beihang. The "Yuanhang Project" provides various exchange programs, such as international summer schools, research internships, and dual degree programs. We are committed to building a global campus that cultivates innovative talent with cross-cultural awareness to meet future demands.

Beihang is a university of innovative excellence, with innovation embedded in our DNA. In the early days of Beihang's establishment, our faculty and students successfully developed China's first light passenger aircraft, the first drone, and Asia's first sounding rocket. We continue to innovate in aerospace, contributing to the development of the C919 large passenger aircraft, Long March rockets, Tiangong space station, BeiDou navigation system, and Chang'e lunar exploration program. We have numerous research laboratories and centers at the forefront of scientific research and technological advancement, enhancing full-chain innovation in fundamental research, key technologies, and application verification. We actively integrate into the global innovation network, leveraging our international platform to attract talent and nurture major international scientific projects, and participating in significant global scientific initiatives. Since 2004, Beihang has received 15 first-class national science and technology awards for its outstanding innovative achievements and has published numerous high-impact results in top-tier journals such as Nature and Science.

Beihang is a collaborative university that fosters an inclusive and cooperative mindset. A strong team culture is a defining feature of Beihang, as reflected in our development and achievements. We firmly believe that outstanding students are the cornerstone of an exceptional university, and we meticulously construct a collaborative platform that integrates teaching and research, encouraging students to participate in high-level international scientific competitions and fostering creativity through collaboration. We promote integrated development across disciplines, platforms, and teams, establishing a robust collaborative ecosystem for scientific research. We actively engage in a collaborative innovation system among government, industry, academia, and research, transforming more technological achievements into real productivity, and supporting high-quality development for local communities and enterprises. We have developed active partnerships with over 240 overseas universities, research institutions, companies, and organizations, achieving fruitful results in joint publications, joint laboratories, technological cooperation, and faculty-student exchanges. In Hangzhou, the Beihang International Innovation Institute will become a new hub for collaborative innovation.

We embrace the world with open arms.
