For seventy years, our academic pursuit has endured and our spirit has been passed down from one generation to the next. Rooted in China and committed to serving national strategic needs, the School of Economics and Management (SEM) of Beihang University has built a first-class discipline reputation at home and earned wide recognition worldwide, thanks to the dedicated endeavors of our predecessors and the sustained efforts of all faculty and students. We uphold the university motto "Uphold virtue and pursue competence, integrate knowledge with practice" and adhere to our educational philosophy "Advocate morality and pragmatism, seek truth and pursue innovation".

Drawing on Beihang’s profound strengths in science and engineering, our school focuses on the interdisciplinary integration of economics, management and cutting-edge technologies. We have forged a distinctive path of high-quality development in talent cultivation, discipline development, academic research and social services.

Standing at a historic juncture marked by the drive to build an innovative country and a world-class university, technological innovation has become the core engine powering our progress. We will advance frontier research through well-organized academic initiatives to elevate our management and engineering disciplines to world-class standards. We will deepen interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve breakthroughs in pursuing top-tier disciplinary development. We will also enhance our capacity for social services, providing policy consultancy for national and local economic growth. We strive to bring academic research out of the ivory tower and into the realities of China, and establish the distinctive Beihang brand featuring the integration of technology and management.

Talent cultivation lies at the heart of our school’s development. We always aim to nurture talents with broad vision, solid capabilities and a strong sense of responsibility. Guided by the "Three Integrations" principle in business education, we combine theories with practices, and integrate local perspectives with global vision. Our goal is to foster future business leaders equipped with business acumen and social commitment.

The growth of our school owes to the dedication and wisdom of all faculty, students and alumni. The journey ahead calls for our continued solidarity and joint efforts. Let us carry forward our heritage while embracing innovation, and forge ahead with resolve and collaboration. Leveraging Beihang’s premier engineering resources, we will strive to build our school into a leading domestic and world-class tech-driven business school and an international hub of excellence.
