Under the student exchange agreement, Beihang students will undertake a semester of study in engineering, science, law, economics or management at Paris-Sud.                    

It is proposed that students from Paris-Sud will also undertake study visits to Beihang.                  

The agreement was signed by Beihang’s President, Professor Xu Huibin, and Paris-Sud’s President, Professor Sylvie Retailleau, at a top-level meeting at Beihang on November 8.
