Beijing Information Science and Technology University

University overview

Beijing Information Science and Technology University is a public university in Beijing with an information-technology focus. Its lineage dates to 1937; undergraduate education began in 1958 and the present university was inaugurated in 2008. Four English undergraduate routes combine four-year study with an international admissions process and published tuition and scholarship terms.

BISTU describes five campuses, with international admissions at No.55 Taihang Road in Changping, Beijing. Its international-student rules allow participation in university sports and cultural activities and use of those campus facilities. Student associations and organised national-festival activities follow approval/registration procedures. Teaching, residence and programme allocations require confirmation; the historical Shahe-campus cover does not establish them.
