Xidian University has a long history and a glorious tradition. The predecessor of Xidian University was the Radio School of the Central Military Committee founded in Ruijin, Jiangxi, 1931. It was the first technical school established by the Communist Party of China. In 1958, the school was moved from  Zhangjiakou, Hebei to Xi'an, and was picked up as one of the first batch of 20 national key universities by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1959. In 1960 it changed its name to the Military Telecommunications Engineering Institute of the People's Liberation Army of China (Xi Jun Dian for short), a well-known college in China. In 1966 it was changed to the civilian organizational system and renamed the Northwest Telecommunications Engineering Institute. The name "Xidian University" was formally adopted in 1988.
Xidian University, approved by the state to be one of the universities funded by China's educational enhancement program labeled Project 211, is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. Xidian is a key national university which dedicates itself primarily to electronics and information with the multidisciplinary integration and coordinated development of engineering, science, management and arts. Xidian University began to enroll and train graduates in 1956 and is one of the universities first to be entitled by the State Council to grant master and doctoral degrees. Approved by the Ministry of Education, the University established its Graduate School in 2000, becoming one of the 56 Chinese institutions of higher learning that have graduate schools.

In the university, there are 3 state key labs, 3 ministerial key labs, 2 national instruction bases, 2 provincial experimental demonstration teaching centers, and 5 post-doctoral research stations. The excellent academic resources have laid a solid foundation for the University's graduate education and opened up a vast field for development.
