Beihang University (formerly Beijing Institute of Aeronautics) or BUAA for short, was founded on October 25, 1952 out of the merger of the aeronautical departments of Tsinghua University, Beiyang University, Amoy (Xiamen) University, Sichuan University, Yunnan University, Northwest Institute of Technology, College of Engineering, North China University, and Southwest Aeronautical Institute. Situated in the capital in the centre of Zhongguancun Science Park, next to China’s National Olympic Centre, with an area of over 100 hectares, BUAA is China’s first university of aeronautical and astronautical engineering. It has 42 research institutes or interdisciplinary research centres, 11 key disciplines of the national level, and 89 laboratories (including 4 national key laboratories, 5 national specialized laboratories, and 12 provincial or ministerial-level key laboratories.) In recent years BUAA has ranked among the foremost in China in terms of funding for scientific research.
