Beijing Information Science & Technology University

Beijing Information Science and Technology University (BISTU) is located in Beijing, the capital of China, and is one of the key universities supported by the Beijing municipal government. The university was formed in 2008 through the merger of the former Beijing Mechanical Industry College (under the Ministry of Machinery) and the former Beijing Information Technology Institute (under the Ministry of Electronics), with roots tracing back to the Beiping Municipal Senior Commercial Vocational School established in 1937.

BISTU is characterized by its strength in information technology and engineering, while also offering programs in management, economics, humanities, and law. It is among the first batch of concept validation platforms for scientific and technological achievements in Beijing and a national innovation and entrepreneurship education practice base.

BISTU's strengths lie in information technology, intelligent manufacturing, big data, and artificial intelligence. The university offers 2 doctoral programs, 14 first-level master's degree programs, and 7 professional master's degree categories.

Disciplines such as Instrument Science and Technology, Control Science and Engineering, and Computer Science and Technology are highly regarded in China. BISTU is a founding member of the Media Convergence Interdisciplinary Alliance led by the State Key Laboratory of Xinhua News Agency, achieving notable results in media convergence and intelligent information processing.

BISTU comprises 17 secondary teaching units offering 46 undergraduate programs across engineering, management, economics, humanities, and law. The faculty includes 1,037 full-time teachers, over 50% of whom hold senior professional titles, with many recognized by national talent programs.

The university has one postdoctoral research station and several provincial/ministerial key laboratories and engineering research centers, such as the Key Laboratory of Modern Measurement and Control Technology (Ministry of Education).

BISTU has five campuses. The main Shahe campus in Changping District features a modern environment with smart classrooms, a library, gymnasiums, student dormitories, and multiple dining halls.
