Harbin Institute of Technology (哈尔滨工业大学）

 

Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) is a research university and a member of the C9 League in China consisting of three campuses, which nearly span the country from north to south: the Harbin campus in Heilongjiang Province, the Weihai campus in Shandong Province and the Shenzhen graduate school in Guangdong Province.

 

HIT undertakes research and numerous projects covered by official secrets (e.g. in space science and defense-related technologies)which may have a bearing on its international ranking, although it is widely recognized as one of the top universities in the country, especially when it comes to local science and engineering league tables. HIT is one of only ten universities in the world that have designed, built, and launched their own satellites (in 2004, 2008 and 2013). It made the largest contribution to the success of the Shenzhou series spacecraft and Kuaizhou series spacecraft.

 

One minor planet (#55838) is named after the Harbin Institute of Technology and nicknamed "Hagongda Star" by the International Astronomical Union for HIT's achievements in science and engineering.

 

 

Academic

 

As one of the leading universities in China, HIT has historically been highly selective in its admissions process.In a typical admission cycle, only students who have attained the highest scores in the National Higher Education Entrance Examination are accepted into the undergraduate program. Admission into the graduate school, likewise, is also very competitive.

 

 

HIT operates on a year-round schedule that includes both a fall and a spring semester. Winter and summer holidays are scheduled to occur between semesters. During vacation periods, the dormitories and select dining halls remain open for students.

 

HIT has strict educational standards. Its motto, “Rigorous Standards, Excellent Efforts”, which is quite different from the motto of other universities, reflects the traditions of HIT.

 

Both theory and application are emphasized. Instructors are required to make thorough preparation for lectures. Many engineering major courses have laboratory sections, and the students must do well in both exams and experiments to get credit.
