Centrale Pékin
École Centrale de Pékin was born of a partnership between Beihang University (the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics) and the Groupe des Écoles Centrale françaises (comprising the Écoles Centrale de Paris, Lyon, Nantes，Lille, and Marseille), with the support of the Chinese and French Ministries of Education. In 2005, the first class entered the school. It is an international engineering school designed to train high-level general engineers, combining the French engineering education system and training model with Beihang's teaching experience in the fields of aeronautics, astronautics and information technology.
