Baku Engineering University, abbreviated BEU and rendered in Azerbaijani as （Bakı Mühəndislik Universiteti）, is a public legal-entity higher education institution operating under the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan.巴库工程大学（Baku Engineering University，缩写 BEU），阿塞拜疆语称作（Bakı Mühəndislik Universiteti），是阿塞拜疆共和国教育部辖下、按公办法人实体运行的一所高等院校。

It was created by order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on 8 November 2016 and is placed in the 851-900 band of the QS World University Rankings 2027, teaching on a purpose-built campus in Absheron to the south-west of Baku.该校根据阿塞拜疆共和国总统 2016 年 11 月 8 日的命令设立，在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中列第 851-900 位，在校区位于巴库西南侧阿普歇隆的一处专门新建校园内办学。

Its stated mission is to prepare engineers at all levels of higher education, to execute programmes of higher and additional education in that sphere, and to conduct both fundamental and applied scientific research.该校既定使命是在各高等教育层级培养工程师、在该领域开设高等教育与附加教育项目，并开展基础与应用科学研究。

History

• Baku Engineering University was formally established by the order of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan issued on 8 November 2016, founding it as a public legal entity rather than a private college.巴库工程大学依据阿塞拜疆共和国总统 2016 年 11 月 8 日签发的命令正式设立，作为公办法人实体建校，而非私立院校。

• The charter of the Baku Engineering University public legal entity was then approved by a separate decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on 21 February 2017.巴库工程大学公办法人实体的章程随后经阿塞拜疆共和国总统另一道法令于 2017 年 2 月 21 日批准。

• The founding order of November 2016 and the charter decree of February 2017 fall only a few months apart, so the legal identity of the new institution was fixed quickly after its creation.2016 年 11 月的建校命令与 2017 年 2 月的章程法令相隔仅数月，说明这一新机构的法律身份在设立后很快被确定。

• Minister of Education Mikayil Jabbarov visited the young university on 3 April 2017, a supervisory call by the very ministry under which the public legal entity operates.教育部长米卡伊尔·贾巴罗夫于 2017 年 4 月 3 日视察这所新建大学，作为其主管部委对这一公办法人实体的一次督导访问。

• The aim behind the establishment was to improve the teaching of engineering technologies across the country and to prepare highly qualified personnel for the national industry.建校目标在于在全国提升工程技术教学水准，为国家工业培养高素质人才。

• Because that purpose centres on engineering, the new university was designed as a technically oriented institution rather than a broad classical or comprehensive university.由于建校宗旨以工程为核心，这所新大学被设计为技术导向型院校，而非宽口径的文理或综合性大学。

• The university from its founding organised admission across four faculties while teaching Bachelor, Master and Doctorate levels as a single engineering-focused body.该校自建校起即在四个学院组织招生，作为一所以工程为重心的一体化机构讲授学士、硕士与博士层级。

• The provision of Doctorate study from the outset signalled a research-oriented mandate written into the institution at its creation, alongside its teaching mission.自创办即设博士培养，表明研究导向的使命与教学任务一并写入建校之初的制度设计。

• From its founding the university delivered its programmes in three languages, Azerbaijani, English and Russian, reflecting both national teaching traditions and the needs of foreign partners.该校自建校即以阿塞拜疆语、英语与俄语三种语言授课，兼顾本国教学传统与外国伙伴需求。

• Beyond degree cycles, its charter from the start gave weight to additional education, a continuing-learning strand kept beside the undergraduate and postgraduate tracks.除学位周期外，其章程从一开始就重视附加教育，即在本科与研究生通道之外保留一条继续教育通道。

• The first rector was Havar Mammadov, who led Baku Engineering University from 2017 until 2023 across the university's formative years after founding.首任校长为哈瓦尔·马马多夫，他在 2017 年至 2023 年间执掌巴库工程大学，覆盖建校后的奠基期。

• The current rector is Yaqub Piriyev, appointed to the post by decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, on 13 September 2023.现任校长为亚古布·皮里耶夫，由阿塞拜疆共和国总统伊尔哈姆·阿利耶夫于 2023 年 9 月 13 日签署法令任命。

• The 2023 change of rector was the first leadership succession since the university was founded in 2016, marking the transition from a start-up phase to an operating institution.2023 年的校长更替是该校自 2016 年创办以来的首次领导层交接，标志其由初创阶段转入稳定运行。

• Baku Engineering University is a distinct institution and is not the former Qafqaz University, a separate school nationalised in 2016 and since closed, despite a Chinese ranking mirror carrying that older translation.巴库工程大学是一所独立院校，并非已于 2016 年被国有化随后停办的卡夫卡斯大学，尽管某中文排名镜像沿用了后者的旧译名。

• It is likewise not to be confused with Caucasus University in Tbilisi, Georgia, since the two share a similar rendering in Chinese yet have no institutional connection at all.该校亦不应与格鲁吉亚第比利斯的高加索大学混同，二者中文译名相近却无任何机构关联。

• Being founded only in 2016, the university has no centuries-long institutional memory, and its history is recorded through presidential orders and decrees rather than royal charters.由于仅在 2016 年创办，该校没有跨越数世纪的机构记忆，其历史以总统命令与法令而非王室特许状的形式留存。

• As a public legal entity under the Ministry of Education, its governance, funding and statutes are set by state act rather than by a private board or a religious foundation.作为教育部辖下的公办法人实体，其治理、经费与章程由国家法令决定，而非由私人董事会或宗教基金会设定。

• Teaching was sited on the Absheron campus soon after the 2016 order, so the location outside central Baku has run alongside the institution since its very establishment.2016 年命令后不久教学即设于阿普歇隆校区，因此这一巴库中心城区之外的选址与建校同步延续至今。

• Within barely a decade of founding the university had already entered the QS 851-900 band and signed dual-degree agreements with partners in South Korea and China, a rapid early internationalisation.建校不足十年，该校已进入 QS 851-900 档并与韩国、中国伙伴签署联合学位协议，早期国际化进展迅速。

• The presidential order of 8 November 2016 designated the new body as an engineering-specialised public legal entity placed under the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan.2016 年 11 月 8 日的总统命令把这一新机构定为以工程为专长的公办法人实体，归入阿塞拜疆共和国教育部管辖。

• By the charter decree of 21 February 2017 the university's remit was fixed as higher education, additional education and the conduct of fundamental and applied scientific research.2017 年 2 月 21 日的章程法令将该校职责确定为高等教育、附加教育以及基础与应用科学研究。

• The institution thus grew from a founding order of November 2016 through a charter decree of February 2017 into an operating university admitting students across its four faculties.该校因此从 2016 年 11 月的建校命令，经 2017 年 2 月的章程法令，成长为在四个学院招收学生的运行中大学。

Academics

• Admission to Baku Engineering University is organised across four faculties, each covering a broad cluster of engineering, applied, economic or computational disciplines.巴库工程大学的招生在四个学院展开，每个学院覆盖一大类工程、应用、经济或计算学科。

• One arm is the Faculty of Engineering, which carries the core technical programmes at the Bachelor, Master and Doctorate levels in Azerbaijani, English and Russian.其一为工程学院，在学士、硕士与博士层级以阿塞拜疆语、英语和俄语开设核心技术类课程。

• Another is the Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences, extending the institution beyond pure engineering into the fields of management, economics and public administration.其二是经济与行政科学学院，使该校从纯工程延伸到管理、经济与公共行政领域。

• The third arm is the Faculty of Architecture and Construction, aligning the university with the built-environment, design and construction sectors of the national economy.其三为建筑与建造学院，使该校对接国民经济中的建成环境、设计与建筑建造部门。

• The fourth is the Faculty of Information and Computer Technologies, giving the institution a base in computing, software development and information engineering.其四为信息与计算机技术学院，为该校在计算、软件开发与信息工程领域提供根基。

• Study runs through three linked cycles, Bachelor, Master and Doctorate, so the university is licensed to award degrees at every level of higher education.学习贯通学士、硕士与博士三个衔接阶段，因此该校获准在高等教育各个层级授予学位。

• Programmes are delivered in Azerbaijani, English and Russian, a trilingual arrangement shaped by the state's language policy and by the requirements of its foreign partners.课程以阿塞拜疆语、英语和俄语三语授课，这一三语格局由国家语言政策与对外合作要求共同塑造。

• Through a dual-degree agreement with Inha University in South Korea, students follow a 3+1 model, studying three academic years at BEU and the final year at Inha.通过与韩国仁荷大学的联合学位协议，学生按 3+1 模式学习，在巴库工程大学读满三个学年、最后一年赴仁荷大学。

• Under the Inha programme students receive two diplomas after four years, the entire track being fully funded by the Azerbaijani state for its full four-year duration.该仁荷项目学生四年后获颁两校文凭，全程四年由阿塞拜疆国家全额资助。

• At BEU students on the Inha track study in English for three years with some courses in Azerbaijani, then spend their fourth year in Korean at Inha in South Korea.走仁荷通道的学生在巴库工程大学以英语读三年、部分课程用阿塞拜疆语，第四年赴韩国仁荷大学改以韩语学习。

• As part of the Inha programme students attend a three-week Summer School in South Korea at the end of their second year and take Korean-language courses throughout their BEU years.在仁荷项目内，学生于第二学年末参加在韩国举办的三周暑期学校，并在巴库工程大学期间修读韩语课程。

• Students in the Inha programme sit the TOPIK Test of Proficiency in Korean during their second and third years, and those who pass continue their studies in Korean at Inha in the fourth year.仁荷项目学生在第二、第三学年参加 TOPIK 韩国语能力考试，通过者第四年以韩语在仁荷大学继续学业。

• Those completing the Inha bachelor's degree may then pursue master's and doctoral studies in South Korea on scholarships, extending the dual-degree pipeline to postgraduate level.完成仁荷本科学位的学生可凭奖学金在韩国继续攻读硕士与博士，使联合学位通道延伸到研究生阶段。

• A second dual-degree route runs with the Beijing University of Chemical Technology at the bachelor's level, the first two years at BEU followed by the next two years at BUCT.第二条联合学位通道与北京化工大学在本科层级合作，前两年在巴库工程大学、后两年在北京化工大学。

• Students finishing the BUCT track earn a bachelor's diploma issued under the regulations of both institutions, alongside short and long-term summer and winter exchange programmes between the parties.完成北京化工大学通道的学生按两校规章获颁本科学位，并享有双方间的短期与长期寒暑假交流项目。

• A third route with the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture is set at the master's level under a 0.5+2.5 model or a 1+2 model split between the two campuses.第三条通道与北京建筑大学合作，设在硕士层级，采用两校区间 0.5+2.5 或 1+2 的模式。

• Those completing the BUCEA programme are awarded a master's degree or diploma meeting the requirements of both partner institutions, again supported by seasonal exchange arrangements.完成北京建筑大学项目的学生获颁符合双方院校要求的硕士学位或文凭，并由季节性交流安排予以支持。

• The additional-education strand named in the mission extends the university's remit beyond its degree cycles to continuing and adult learners served alongside regular students.使命中提到的附加教育通道，将该校职责延伸到学位周期之外，与在读学生一并服务继续教育与成人学习者。

• Within the national system the university shares the higher-education field with older institutions such as Baku State University and Azerbaijan Technical University, both long established in the capital.在全国体系中，该校与巴库国立大学、阿塞拜疆技术大学等历史悠久的老校同处高等教育领域，两者均在首都办学已久。

Campus

• Baku Engineering University operates on a single campus located in Absheron, the peninsula and economic region immediately south-west of the Azerbaijani capital Baku.巴库工程大学在一处位于阿普歇隆的单一校区办学，该半岛兼经济区域紧邻阿塞拜疆首都巴库的西南侧。

• The total area of the Absheron campus is given as 200,000 square metres, a purpose-built site planned for the university rather than a scattering of older city buildings.阿普歇隆校园总面积为 20 万平方米，是为该校专门规划的自建园区，而非零散分布的旧城市楼宇。

• Its site lies near latitude 40.41667 and longitude 49.33333, fixing the institution outside the dense core of Baku proper on the Absheron peninsula.校址位于北纬 40.41667、东经 49.33333 附近，把该校定在巴库中心城区之外的阿普歇隆半岛上。

• The campus houses all four faculties, Engineering, Economic and Administrative Sciences, Architecture and Construction, and Information and Computer Technologies, together on this one Absheron site.该校区在同一阿普歇隆园区内集中容纳全部四个学院，即工程学院、经济与行政科学学院、建筑与建造学院、信息与计算机技术学院。

• Being sited on Absheron rather than in central Baku ties the engineering campus closely to the industrial, energy and construction belt that surrounds the capital.校区选址阿普歇隆而非巴库市中心，使这所工程院校与环绕首都的工业、能源和建筑带紧密相连。

• As a young public institution the Absheron campus was designed for the university from its 2016 founding and was not inherited from an older college or a nationalised property.作为一所新建公立院校，阿普歇隆校园自 2016 年建校起即为其规划设计，并未继承自某所旧学院或某项被国有化的资产。

• The unified campus layout lets the four faculties share facilities, an arrangement suited to a newly built institution rather than a historic university grown piecemeal across a city.集中式校园布局使四个学院得以共享设施，这一安排适合新建院校，而非在城市中逐步生长起来的历史大学。

• Its four faculties, its three-degree-cycle system and a 200,000 square metre campus form the verifiable basis of the scale implied by the QS band it occupies.四个学院、三级学位体系与 20 万平方米校园，构成其所处 QS 档位背后规模的可核验依据。

• Entering the QS table within about a decade of founding makes its ranking profile a function of a young, state-backed engineering university rather than of a long-established research institution.建校约十年内即进入 QS 榜单，使其排名面貌源于一所年轻的、国家支持的工程大学，而非历史悠久的研究型机构。

• Because the institution is supervised by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan, its ranking visibility depends on state reporting rather than on an independent endowment or private board.由于该校由阿塞拜疆共和国教育部监管，其榜单可见性取决于国家层面的报告，而非独立的捐赠基金或私人董事会。
