History

NUDT was originally founded in 1953 as the Harbin Military Academy of Engineering in Harbin of Heilongjiang Province. The University was renamed Harbin Academy of Engineering in 1966 and transitioned to the Chinese Department of Education and the Department of National Defense Science and Technology. In 1970 the University administration and 4 departments moved southwards to Changsha due to the possible war with the Soviet Union and was renamed Changsha Institute of Technology. Other 4-5 departments were taken by local and other national universities. The Institute changed its name to National University of Defense Technology in 1978.

NUDT is a leading institute in China's Supercomputer development and Chinese space program.
