Campus

The university, covering an area of 64.4 hectares, is composed of three campuses:

  • East campus (headquarters): located on the eastern section of the North Third Ring Road, southeast of the Asian Games Village.
  • West campus: On the central section of the West Third Ring Road.
  • North campus: locates in Changping, near Lake Shisanling. Most of the North campus had been sold to China University of Petroleum while the remaining will be the dormitory for the staff, since the new North campus, a.k.a. Nankou campus, is a little bit more far from the East campus and requires additional dorm for staff.
  • Nankou campus: locates in Changping, about 1km from the Changping Xishankou Station of Beijing Subway Line: Changping. Near the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University.
  • Currently, the undergraduates in BUCT spend their first 2 years in the north campus and then transferred to the East section for the second half of the study. Some of the postgraduates in BUCT spend their first year in the north campus, too.

    The east campus is designated for all postgraduate students.
