Master in Aeronautics & Space Science and Technology

The School of Aerospace Engineering which was originally established in 1957 and is among the top leading programs in aerospace engineering in China. The masters in aeronautics & space science technology program ranked 6th in aerospace science and technology, and 9th in mechanics in the 2012 national program rankings. Since then, the school had witnessed a great number of excellent alumni working in aerospace engineering related fields.

The school holds many Beijing key experimental laboratories and education centers. A number of research results won national awards, and the school receives annual research funding of more than 100 million RMB. The school has a strong background and productive research in vehicle overall design, the deep space detection technology, aerospace propulsion technology, space launch technology, dynamics and control, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and biomechanics, many disciplines listed above keep the leading position in national aerospace engineering research.

At the masters and doctorate level, BIT graduates will have reached a level of expertise in aerospace science and technology and mechanics. Graduates will be well-trained to master solid theoretical knowledge and experimental skills, and prepared to perform teaching and research in aerospace engineering related areas.

The school actively collaborates with international research organizations in Germany, Russia, Netherlands, Spain and other countries. Each year many reputed scholars and researchers are invited to give lectures, and there are a great number of students selected to conduct their projects abroad.
