Founded in October 1952, Beihang University is the first institution of higher education in aeronautics and astronautics established after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Currently, it has developed into a comprehensive research university covering engineering, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, encompassing three campuses with over 30,000 full-time students and nearly 4,000 faculty and staff.

Beihang University (previously known as Beijing Univeristy of Aeronautics and Astronautics) was founded on October 25, 1952 under the name of Beijing Institute of Aeronautics, originating from the merger of the aeronautical departments of Tsinghua University, Beiyang University, Xiamen University, Sichuan University, etc. Located in the center of the Zhongguancun Science Park and within easy reach of central Beijing, Beihang is the first university in China focusing on aeronautical and astronautical education and research. About 26km away from the main campus, the suburban Shahe campus provides quiet study milieu and is also home to the National Laboratory of Aeronautics and Astronautics(NLAA). The very new Doudian campus aims at research and innovation through engineering combined with medicine.
