Xidian University is a national key university with information and electronics as the main disciplines, and coordinated development of engineering, science, management, and liberal arts. It is directly under the Ministry of Education. It is one of the key construction universities of the national "Advantage Discipline Innovation Platform" project and the "211 Project", one of the national double innovation demonstration bases, the first 35 demonstration software colleges, the first 9 demonstration microelectronics colleges, the first 9 approved to establish integrated circuit talent training bases and the first batch of first-class network security college construction demonstration projects. The school's information and communication engineering and computer science and technology have been selected as national "double first-class" construction disciplines for two consecutive rounds.
The predecessor of the school was the Central Military Commission Radio School, which was founded in Ruijin, Jiangxi in 1931. It was the first engineering and technical school founded by Mao Zedong and other older generation revolutionaries. The school moved to Xi'an in 1958, was transferred to a local system in 1966, and was named as it is now in 1988.

The school is one of the earliest universities in China to establish majors such as information theory, information system engineering, radar, microwave antennas, electronic machinery, and electronic countermeasures. It has pioneered the IT discipline in my country and formed distinct characteristics and advantages in the disciplines of electronics and information. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the school was approved for 8 national defense specialty disciplines. The school currently has 2 national "double first-class" key construction discipline groups (including 5 first-level disciplines: information and communication engineering, electronic science and technology, computer science and technology, cyberspace security, and control science and engineering), 2 national first-level key disciplines (covering 6 second-level disciplines), 1 national second-level key discipline, 34 provincial and ministerial key disciplines, 14 first-level disciplines authorized to confer doctoral degrees, 26 first-level disciplines authorized to confer master's degrees, 10 postdoctoral research stations, and 65 undergraduate majors. In the fourth round of national first-level discipline evaluation results, 3 disciplines were rated A: the evaluation result of the electronic science and technology discipline was A+, tied for first in the country; the information and communication engineering discipline was in A; the evaluation result of the computer science and technology discipline was A-, and the school's electronic information disciplines continued to maintain the leading level in China. According to the data released by ESI, the school's engineering and computer science are both ranked in the top 1‰ in the world.
The school has established the concept of people-oriented and teachers are the core competitiveness of the university, and has forged a well-structured and innovative teaching staff.
