Rocket Force University of Engineering

The Rocket Force Engineering University is the only higher military academy directly under the Chinese People's Liberation Army Rocket Force, and a crucial base for training command and engineering personnel for the strategic missile force. Formerly the Second Artillery Engineering College founded in 1959, the university underwent several developments and name changes before officially becoming the Rocket Force Engineering University in 2017, shouldering the important responsibility of supplying high-caliber personnel to the nation's strategic deterrence force. Located in the historical and cultural city of Xi'an, the university boasts a beautiful environment and advanced facilities. It is one of the national "Double First-Class" universities and enjoys a high reputation in the field of military engineering. The university is renowned for its distinctive military characteristics and outstanding engineering education. Its core strengths lie in national key disciplines and advantageous majors such as missile engineering, nuclear science and technology, information and communication engineering, and command automation. The university possesses a number of national-level teaching teams and research and innovation teams, undertaking numerous major national and military research projects, and has achieved fruitful results in strategic missile weapon systems, precision strike technology, and nuclear-conventional dual-use combat theory. The university emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, ensuring that students possess outstanding military qualities and professional capabilities through rigorous military training and professional skills development, becoming loyal and reliable backbone forces of the Rocket Force. In terms of campus culture, the Rocket Force Engineering University upholds the motto of "Loyalty, Dedication, Pragmatism, and Innovation," forming a fine tradition of rigorous scholarship and strict school management. During their time at the university, students not only receive systematic professional knowledge education but also undergo rigorous military physical training and political and ideological education, cultivating firm ideals and beliefs and a strong fighting spirit. The university actively engages in international academic exchanges; however, due to the special nature of its military academy status, international cooperation is mainly concentrated in the fields of military technology and national defense security, and the enrollment of general international students is relatively limited. Graduates primarily serve in the Rocket Force and related national defense research units, contributing to the maintenance of national security and world peace.
