Campus[]
The university, covering an area of 64.4 hectares, is composed of three campuses:

- West campus: On the central section of the West Third Ring Road.
- North campus: locates in Changping, near . Most of the North campus had been sold to China University of Petroleum while the remaining will be the dormitory for the staff, since the new North campus, a.k.a. Nankou campus, is a little bit more far from the East campus and requires additional dorm for staff.

Currently, the undergraduates in BUCT spend their first 3 years in the Nankou campus and then transferred to the East section for the fourth year of the study. Some of the postgraduates in BUCT spend their first year in the north campus, too.
