Beijing Institute of Technology

Founded in 1940, Beijing Institute of Technology originated as the Natural Science Academy of Yan'an. It was the first science and engineering university established by the Communist Party of China, with its name personally inscribed by Comrade Mao Zedong. Veteran proletarian revolutionaries such as Li Fuchun, Xu Teli, and Li Qiang successively served as key leaders of the university. The university has been a key institution of higher learning developed by the state in successive phases since the founding of New China. It was among the first to be included in the national “211 Project” and “985 Project.” In the 2018 QS World University Rankings published by the UK’s Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Education Group, the university ranked 389th globally, 76th in Asia, and 17th in Mainland China. The university is currently under the administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
