Harbin Institute of Information Technology (HIIT) was established in 1995 in the beautiful "Ice City" of Harbin, with its predecessor being Harbin Huaxia Computer Vocational and Technical College. In 2003, it was recognized as one of the first "Demonstrative Software Vocational and Technical Colleges" by the state. In 2012, the school was approved as one of the first batch of pilot units for national education informatization. In 2014, the Ministry of Education approved its elevation to a regular undergraduate institution, and it was renamed Harbin Institute of Information Engineering. It is the only private application-oriented undergraduate institution in Heilongjiang Province named after "Information Engineering." In 2022, the school chose a non-profit educational model.
The university has always adhered to the mission of cultivating talent for the party and the country, implementing the fundamental task of fostering moral integrity and character development, and leveraging its advantages in computer and electronic information-related disciplines. The school upholds the motto of "Standardization, Rigor, Excellence," and promotes a school culture of "Active, Practical, Learning, and Open."

The university has 10 academic units and offers 14 undergraduate programs covering four academic disciplines: Engineering, Management, Arts, and Humanities. The university adjusts its program structure according to talent demand, with a focus on computer science and electronic information fields, which differentiates it from other similar institutions in the province. The university started early, with a strong foundation, large scale, and high quality. The Software Engineering program has been approved as a provincial-level first-class undergraduate program construction project. The research on "The 'Three-Step and One-Connection' Application-Oriented Undergraduate Talent Training Model for Enhancing Employment Capabilities" won the second prize of the provincial-level teaching achievement award in 2022. In the past three years, the university has approved 40 provincial-level teaching reform projects, and students have won 765 provincial-level and above awards in information-related competitions.
