About HIT

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 is a member of China’s top nine university unions (C9). It is a National Key University with science and engineering as its core and has developed with management, liberal arts, economy, law,and other disciplines. Often referred to as “the cradle of engineers,” the university has many firsts. HIT established the first School of Astronautics in China. It was the first Chinese university to independently develop and launch small satellites (smallsats and microsats) into the moon’s orbit. HIT was also the first to achieve satellite-groundlaser link communication.

Furthermore, HIT developed the first computer to play chess and talk with people and is the first university to produce arc- and spot-welding robots. It was the first university to reveal the virulent factor of HIV. It was also the first university to achieve breakthroughs in supporting structure development for the largest radio telescopes. Additionally, HIT conducted the first human–machine in-orbit maintenance experiments on a space operator.

Since its beginning, HIT has always had a robust international environment. 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 the 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.
