Harbin Institute of Technology

Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) was established in 1920 in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China. In 1954, HIT became one of China’s first six leading universities. HIT was founded in 1920. It has now developed into a renowned multi-disciplinary, open and research-based university, featured in science and technology. 


With a strong capacity for research and innovation, HIT has been undertaking large-scale and highly sophisticated national projects. HIT’s ability in performing scientific research has always been among the top in China. HIT scientific research programs rank the 2nd among all universities in China. HIT has been making great contributions to China’s hi-tech research by leading the way in cuttingedge inventions in scientific research fields. The famous “ Shenzhou Series Spacecraft Project” received a massive amount of assistance from HIT in the fields of large-scale land-based space simulation equipment, cabin deformation and orthopraxy welding technology, 3-axel simulation experimental platform and fault diagnosis. The micro-satellite “Experimental Satellite no.1, constructed mainly by HIT, was the first satellite that fully developed and launched by a Chinese university. The technical advancements in the satellite meet international aerospace standards and mark a new chapter in the history of HIT and China’s history of astronautics.


At HIT, there are 23 schools, 86 undergraduate programs, 9 National Key Disciplines, 7 National Key Labs, and 39 members of the prestigious Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering. Eleven disciplines of HIT are ranked among the top 1% on the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) lists. The material science and computer science of HIT in particular are ranked among the top 1‰, and engineering discipline ranked among the top 1‱. In 2020, HIT ranked 6th on the list of the best global universities for engineering announced by the U.S. News & World Report.


Since its beginning, HIT has always had a strong international environment. Now HIT has signed academic cooperation agreements with 278 universities in 39 countries. These collaborations include student and faculty exchange programs, joint academic conferences, and scientific research cooperation. Together with Weihai campus and Shenzhen campus, HIT forms the pattern of “One University, Three Campuses.” HIT is steadily moving towards the goal of becoming a world-class university.
