The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning through project-based courses, corporate internships, and interdisciplinary modules. The university operates several provincial-level research centers, such as the Zhejiang Smart Transportation Engineering Technology Research Center and the Zhejiang Key Laboratory of Robotics Technology, offering students opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research.

NBUT's three campuses offer distinct advantages. Fenghua Campus, the main one, features modern classrooms, a library, and labs. Cuibai Campus is centrally located with convenient transport and amenities. Qianwan Campus, near Hangzhou Bay New District, integrates closely with industrial parks for internships.
