Welcome to NPU
Located in historic city Xi’an and founded in 1938, Northwestern Polytechnical
University (NPU) is affiliated with the Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology. NPU, as a member of the "Excellent Nine (E9) Union of Universities”
in China, has justifiably become an educational and research center for
northwest China.
NPU, research-oriented, interdisciplinary, and international, is outstanding in
aeronautics, astronautics, and marine technology at home and abroad. While
NPUers excel at science and technology, they are also distinguished in the fields
of management, humanities, economics, and law.
NPU covers an area of 840 acres with 2 campuses and 16 academic schools.
Offering undergraduate and graduate programs, NPU has a vibrant and diverse
community which consists of about 3,500 dedicated faculty members and 27,000
motivated students in total, with over 1,000 overseas students from over 70
countries.
About Xi’an
Xi’an, located in central-northwest China, has recorded the great changes of the
country like a living history book. Once the terminus of the Silk Road and a
melting pot of cultures and religions, Xi’an is home to the world-famous
Terracotta Army. With millenniums of Chinese history on display, Xi’an is very
proud of its scenic sites including the splendid Bell Tower and Drum Tower, the
characteristic architecture of Chinese Islam at its finest, the magnificent history
museums, and two elegant Buddhist pagodas.
Xi’an is a city of about eight million people in the modern Chinese urban context.
Known as a paradise for foodies, it is replete with high-rise construction, bustling
shopping malls and diverse local cuisines.
Moreover, Xi’an is acknowledged as the largest and most important base of
scientific research and a center of higher education, national defense and
high-tech industries in China.
