Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) was founded in 1920. After 87 years, HIT has developed into a large multi-disciplinary nationally renowned university with science, engineering and research as its core. We have established our own unique programs related to the field of astronautics that are unparalled anywhere in China. We broaden our established disciplinary programs by utilizing a cross disciplinary curriculum and as such have formed a comparatively full disciplinary system that consists of key programs, emerging programs and supporting programs. 

HIT now has 21 schools (departments), including 84 undergraduate programs, 148 masters' programs, 82 doctoral programs, 18 post-doctoral research stations, 18 national key disciplines, and 32 national & provincial (ministerial) key labs. The university employs 2,944 full-time teachers, among which 884 are professors, 1,102 are associate professors, including 22 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. At present, there are 42,695 full-time students including 25,035 undergraduates, 11,794 master degree candidates and 4,387 doctorial degree candidates. We also established Shenzhen Graduate School, Weihai Campus, together with the main campus in Harbin (including the Research Academy of Science and Technology and Research Academy of Industrial Technology), forming a pattern of 'one university, three campuses.

HIT is consistently on the forefront in making innovations in the field of scientific research. For years, HIT has continued to undertake large-scale and highly sophisticated national projects. HIT's ability for scientific research has always been among the strongest in all universities in China. In 2007, HIT funds for scientific research reached 1.1billion RMB. In the comprehensive 10-year evaluation of the '863'project, HIT scientific research programs ranked number two among all universities in China. HIT is making great contributions to China's hi-tech research field by creating many new inventions in scientific research fields such as China's first simulation computer, the first intelligent chess-playing computer, the first arc-welding robots, the first world advanced-level system radar, the first CMOS chip IC card with our own patent, the first giant computer-aided real-time 3-D image construction system, the first microcomputer-operated fiber twiner and the first large-scale tank-head forming machine. The famous 'Shenzhou Series Spaceship Project' was greatly aided by the assistance of HIT in the field of large scale ground space simulation equipment, returning cabin deformation and orthopraxy welding technology, 3-axel simulation experimental platform and fault diagnosis. The micro-satellite 'Testing Satellite Number One', constructed mainly by HIT, was the first fully developed and launched satellite by a Chinese university. The technical advancements on the satellite meet international aerospace standards and mark a new chapter in the history of HIT and China's history of astronautics.

Harbin Institute of Technology has 1 campus: Harbin Campus. The accommodation fee range is from 9,600 Per Year/Per Person.
