Chang’an University

Chang’an University was formed in 2000 by the merger by the Xi’an Highway University, the Xi’an Engineering Institute and the Northwest Institute of Construction Engineering. 

It is particularly strong in the fields of highway transport, land resources and environment, and construction engineering. The highway programme is among the country’s best, and Chang’an is China’s only university with a high-speed automobile testing facility. The university also houses a research institute focused on the development of intelligent oilfield technology. 

In addition to its expertise in engineering, Chang’an offers programmes in science, economics, management and the humanities across its two campuses.

At present, the university has about 40,000 students, of whom about a quarter are postgraduates. There are more than 1,600 international students from about 100 countries. 

The number of full-time teaching staff is over 2,000. 

Chang’an has exchanges and collaborations with more than 100 international universities and research institutions, in countries including the US, the UK, Japan and South Korea.

Xi’an is the capital of Shaanxi province in north-west China. Known as Chang’an for much of its history, Xi’an is one of China’s four great ancient capitals. It is the home of the world-famous Terracotta Warriors.
