BUAA belongs to Commission of Science Technology and Industry for National Defense，and is also one of the state“Project 211”universities and is listed in“Plan 985.’，receiving preferential support from the state. Situated in the capital in the center of Zhongguancun Science Park，next to China's National Olympic Cenfier，with an area of over 100 hectares，BUAA is China' s first university of aeronautical and astronautical engineering.Since its founding BUAA has been one of the key universities given priority for development.
世纪之交，北航被教育部纳入国家“面向21世纪教育振兴行动计划”。在过去的50年里，北航为国家培养了近8万名不同学科的高级人才。
In the new century and millennium，BUAA was officially listed in China's Action Plan for the Revitalization of Education in the 21 st Century. aver the past 50 years BUAA has provided about 80000 professionals of high caliber in various disciplines for the country.
目前，学校共有17个专业学院和6个系，涵盖理工、文、法、经济、管理、哲学、外语及教育等八个门类，教职工 3200余人，其中“两院”院士14名，正、副教授1 200余名，博士生导师390余名;现有本科专业48个，硕士学位授权点144个，一级学科博士学位授权点14个，二级学科博士学位授权点49个。全日制在校生近2. 4万人，其中，博士研究生2 700多名，硕士研究生6 800余名，普通本专科生14 300余人，外国留学生370余名。
At present，the university comprises 17 schools and 6 departments，covering such diverse fields as science technology，liberal arcs，law，economy，management philosophy foreign languages and education.Total faculty and staff numbers are more than 3200，including I4 academicians of either the Chinese Academy of Science or the Chinese Academy of Engineering Sciences over 1 200 full or associate professors，and 390 supervisors of doctorate programs.The university now has 48 undergraduate majors，144 master programs，and 14 doctorate programs in fiirst-level disciplines,49 doctorate programs in second-level disciplines.BUAA has a total enrolment of over 24000 including more than 2 700 doctorate candidates，over 6800 master candidates，more than 14300 in 4 or 2 year undergraduate programs，and about 370 overseas students

It has 65 research institutes or interdisciplinary research centers 11 key disciplines of the national level，and 89 laboratories(including 5 national key laboratories，5 national specialized laboratories and 15 provincial or ministerial-level key laboratories).The celebration of BUAA's 50 eventful years signifies an even more promising future. BUAA has evolved into an open，mufti-disciplined research-oriented university of engineering science and technology with an emphasis on aeronautical and astronautical engineering.
目前，国防科工委、教育部北京市人民政府和中国工程院签署共建协议，联手共助北航发展腾飞。传承北航精神，永葆名校风采。为实现学校“十一五”规划制定的奋斗目标，面对新的机遇和挑战，北航坚持以学科建设为龙头，以人才培养为中心，以师资队伍建设为重点，努力建成国内一流、国际知名的高水平研究型大学。
At present the university is being developed with the efforts of the Commission of Science，Technology and Industry for National Defense，the Ministry of Education，the Municipal Government of Beijing，and the Chinese Academy of Engineering Sciences. Conscious of its role in invigorating China through science and education and pursuing its traditional style of“hardworking ，diligent learning，all一round development and courageous innovation”.BUAA is deepening the reform in education and striving to realize its goal of becoming a “top-rate university in China，well-known throughout the world'
历史变迁
Glorious History
1952年10月25日，在北京工业学院礼堂举行的大会上宣布了北京航空学院的成立，来自于8所不同大学的航空系的教职员工和学生们共同建设新的学院，校址选定在北京西北郊海淀区柏颜庄。6月1日破土动工，半年之内就完成了6万平方米的建筑。同年10月全体学生及部分教职工即迁居新校，开始正常的学习与工作。
The meeting announcing the founding of the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics(BIA)was held in the auditorium of Beijing Institute of technology(formerly Zhongfa University)on October 25, 1952.Faculty and students from the aeronautical departments in eight universities joined to lay the foundations for the new institute，whose chosen site was in Beiyanzhuang visage，Haidian District，in the western suburb of Beijing. Construction started on June 1 and over 60 000 m2 square meters of building space were completed within 6 months. By October some of the faculty and students were able to start normal work and study.
学院最初只有飞机、发动机两个系，开设飞机设计、飞机工艺、发动机设计一、发动机工艺等四个专业。1988年5月，学院更名给现在的北京航空航天大学。北航早在20世纪50年代就被列为国家首批16所重点大学之一被列为“七五”期间全国巧所重点建设高校之一、“八五”期间全国14所重点建设的高校之一。九五”期间北航被列为“211工程”国家第一批15所院校之一，并且是21世纪振兴教育中国行动计划的院校之一。
In the beginning there were only two departments with 4 majors:aeroplane design and aeroplane technology in the department of aeorplane engineering，and engine design，engine technology in the department of aeroplane engine engineering. In May 1988 the Institute changed to its present name of Beihang University BUAA was a one among the nation' s first 16 key universities back in the 1950' s，and a one among the top 15 for priority development during China' s 7th five-year-plan period(1986一1990)During the 8th tive一 year一 plan it was listed among the top 14 for priority development，and at the start of the 9th five-year-plan BUAA was a one among the first batch of 15 universities in“project 211 for Higher Education”‘As it entered the new century and the university was again listed in China' s Action Plan for the Revitalization of Education in the 21 st Century.
经过几代人的不懈努力，北航已建设成为一所具有航空航天特色和工程技术优势的开放式、多科性、研究型大学。作为高等教育中心和科研中心，北京航空航天大学已经成为中国高素质人才培养基地和科研机构。
Thanks to the tireless efforts of several generations of people BUAA has grown into an open，mufti-disciplined，research-oriented university of engineering science and technology with an emphasis on aeronautical and astronautical engineering.Today，BUAA，as a center of both higher education and scientific research，has become one of the important bases for quality personnel education and scientific research in China.
