TheNanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA,南京航空航天大学) is apublic university inNanjing,Jiangsu, China. It is affiliated with theMinistry of Industry and Information Technology. The university is part ofProject 211 and theDouble First-Class Construction.[1][2]
Founded in October 1952, as theNanjing College of Aviation Industry, Nanhang was renamed in 1956 toNanjing Aeronautical Institute, and in 1993 to its current name.[3]
Nanhang comprises three campuses: Ming Palace Campus, Jiangjun Road (将军路) Campus, and Tianmu Lake Campus, along with an international campus currently under development inJiangbei New District. Minggugong Campus is abbreviated as "Headquarters," General Road Campus as "Jiangning Campus," and Tianmu Lake Campus as "Liyang Campus." The Tianmu Lake Campus is alternatively referred to as the "Liyang Campus."[4]
The Ming Palace Campus is situated in the Qinhuai District of Nanjing, bordered to the south by Zhongshan East Road, to the north by Ruijin Road, and to the east by Mido Street. It occupies the original site of the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty, where the Imperial Temple is designated as the location of the Imperial Garden on the present campus. The old Imperial River, known as the Royal Belt River, traverses the school, which features two rows of stately French sycamores that enhance its aesthetic appeal, beside the Jiangsu Aviation and Aerospace Museum located on the premises.
The Jiangning Campus is situated in the Jiangning District of Nanjing, bordered by Baijia Lake to the east and General Mountain and Cuiping Mountain to the west. The Jiangning Campus is bifurcated into eastern and western parts by the Nanjing Airport Expressway, which are linked by flyovers and culverts. The Jiangning Campus West comprises 7 instructional buildings, 1 engineering training facility, 22 residential halls, and 5 dining establishments. The Jiangning Campus East comprises four cafeterias, three instructional buildings, and thirteen residential buildings.[5]
The Tianmu Lake Campus is situated in the southern region of Liyang City, a county-level city located southeast of Nanjing. Bordered by Meilingyu Avenue to the north, East Binhe Road to the south, South Street to the east, and South Yanshan Road to the west, the campus encompasses an area of 969 acres, with a projected total construction area of approximately 530,000 square meters.[6]
NUAA has 18 colleges:[7]
NUAA offers a wide range of programs including 46 undergraduate programs, 127 master programs and 52 doctoral programs. 2 first grade and 9 second grade disciplines are awarded national key disciplines.

The university started enrolling international students largely since 2005 after the establishment of the College of International Education.[19] In 2005, the first batch of full-time international undergraduate students were enrolled with major of Aerospace Engineering, coming from neighboring countries likeNepal andPakistan. Since then over 400 international students have graduated from NUAA with degrees in majors includingAerospace Engineering,International Business,Mechanical Engineering andSoftware Engineering. Currently there are over 470 undergraduate international students from 40 countries likeBangladesh,Nepal,India,Pakistan,Indonesia,Malaysia,Kenya,Ghana,Sri Lanka,Saudi Arabia,Yemen,Nigeria, etc.
The university has been enrolling post-graduate international students for several years as well. Dozens of Master and Ph.D-level students have since graduated with various majors and specialties. It also provides scholarships to outstanding international students at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels under various government scholarship schemes including the China Government Scholarship and Distinguished International Students Scholarship schemes.
Apart from full-time students, NUAA has been hosting exchange students coming from universities inAustralia,Canada,France andGermany. Every year, under the university's exchange and summer programs with international universities, dozens of international students come to NUAA to study at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels.
NUAA's international students have played important role in lifting its research performance and image in the world. In 2018, a paper authored by aPakistani doctoral student of NUAA Distinguished ProfessorLiu Sifeng was quoted by Nature Index, and was later indexed inEssential Science Indicators, a database of the world's top 1% highly cited publications.[20][21]
