Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), a national key university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education, jointly supported by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Transport, Beijing Municipal Government, and China State Railway Group Co., Ltd, is an active contributor to the development of the "National 211 Project", the "985 Innovative Platforms for Key Disciplines Project" and the 'Double First-Class' construction.
As one of the three founding bodies of the Jiaotong University, the history of BJTU dates to 1896. It originated as Railway Management Institute during the Qing dynasty, the first higher education institution in China committed to fostering railway management talents. It is the birthplace of modern China's railway management and telecommunication education. In 1917, it was divided into Beijing Railway Management School and Beijing Post and Telecommunication School. In 1921, the school merged with Shanghai Industrial College, and Tangshan Industrial College to form the original Jiaotong University. After the restructuring of Jiaotong University in 1923, the Beijing campus was renamed Beijing Jiaotong University. In 1950, the school was named Northern Jiaotong University with leading bridge expert and scholar Prof. Mao Yisheng as president. Former President of the PRC Mao Zedong gifted his personal autograph for the university name. In 1952, the University was renamed Beijing Railway Institute. In 1970, the name Northern Jiaotong University was re-adopted. In 2000, the school merged with the Beijing Electric Power College, and the administration was transferred from the Ministry of Railways to the Ministry of Education. In 2003, the use of the name ‘Beijing Jiaotong University’ was resumed. The university cultivated numerous world-renowned outstanding talents, such as the founder of China's first radio station-LIU Han, the author of China's first railway management monograph-JIN Shixuan; the pioneer of railway transport economics in China-XU Jing; one of the earliest four major accountants in China-YANG Rumei, and the famous writer, literary critic, and historian-ZHENG Zhenduo. Notable academics including the designer of the first high-horsepower steam machine in the country-YING Shangcai, the prosecutor representing China at the Tokyo Trial-HSIANG Che-Chun and the famous demographer and economist-MA Yinchu also taught at the University.
